Deadpool actor TJ Miller was arrested in Hollywood overnight after allegedly slapping an Uber driver over the head.

A spokesperson for Los Angeles police says Miller was arrested for battery at his home after the Uber driver reported being attacked.

It is believed Miller and his Uber driver had an argument over President-elect Donald Trump.

Miller, a Democrat voter, is said to have become incensed by his driver's comments in support of Mr Trump.

In November, Miller burned a Trump-branded tie on a late-night TV talk show.

"That's how sh***y Donald Trump ties are," he joked.

The Silicon Valley star is scheduled to host the Critics' Choice Awards this weekend.

Miller is also set to star in Steven Spielberg's upcoming film Ready Player One, and lend his voice to a character in next year's How To Train Your Dragon 3.
