Gerard Depardieu threw something of a hissy fit on an Air France flight bound for Dublin. Reportedly the French actor was drunk when he began to shout “I need to p***, I need to p***” as the Paris to Dublin flight was preparing for take-off last night.
But cabin crew informed him that he would have to wait for another 15 minutes until the plane was properly airborne and he was instructed to stay in his seat. But as reported by The Sun, Depardieu was so unhappy that he stood up, unzipped his trousers and made his protest right in the aisle, by urinating in front of the other passengers.
This resulted in the plane turning back and being delayed for two hours while the crew had to clean up after Depardieu. He was then escorted from the plane, it’s not yet known if Air France plans to any action and press charges against the actor.
