HEROES star Ali Larter has been cursed by a Sumo wrestler after a good luck hug turned bad.

The sexy actress asked a leading Japanese wrestler to pick her up and hug her during a recent promotional trip to Japan - after learning the act was good luck. She says, “If a sumo wrestler picks you up it’s really good luck, so I was really excited and I asked him to pick me up and he picked me up and I thought, ‘OK, things are gonna be great now.’

“Ever since he picked me up I have had horrible luck - I lost my keys… then my car actually got keyed and someone took a baseball bat and smashed in my front windshield, and then I dropped my phone in a pond.”
