Worse than that: He was "disorientated!"
Peter was spotted waving his arms in the air and muttering to himself. A passer-by said that the star looked to be disorientated and someone eventually called police but when the police arrived Peter refused any help. He was allowed to go on his way.
Regards,
He wasn’t disoriented in that photo, he’s sick of the press and people gawking and taking pics of him.
I went and read the story and someone posted a comment asking if he had family around and there was this comment posted in reply:
"Yes Bea, Peter is now very close with both daughters and his grandchildren. Alexandrina, Peter lives with his wife Shera in Beverly Hills (for 25+ years) and his daughters live within half hour by car, also he has a devoted secretary and many close friends, so he’s not out wandering around confused and alone. Peter Falk is very similar to his famous character “Columbo” which was created for him based on his personality and habits… like Columbo, Peter Falk is often preoccuied and may seem slow on the uptake, but he’s a deep thinker who’s brilliant actually; he’s a sloppy dresser unless attending an event but even in a tux, he might forget to tuck his shirt in or his tie might be askew. He also has a bit of a temper and that day, the constant harrassment by fans and photographers made him upset. Peter is 80 but still has all his marbles and he has a wonderful home and social life, and he still works on at least a movie a year, and in his spare time he’s an artist who paints or draws at least one new artwork a week; he’s always sketching, even in meetings. He told me recently that if he’d known how much free publicity he could get just by yelling at paparazzi, he’d have done it years ago. A friend said “But Peter that’s not very good publicity” and he answered “You know the saying, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” So don’t worry anyone, Peter Falk is very much healthy in every way at 80, we should all be so lucky.
