Gerard Depardieu 'Sorry' To Have Urinated On Plane Carpet Gerard Depardieu's entourage has said he tried to urinate into a bottle "as discreetly as possible" while on a flight, and said he was "sorry" to have spilt some on the plane's carpet.

The French actor was caught short on a Paris to Dublin flight after the seat belt sign had been switched on for take-off. With the lavatories closed, the 62-year-old called out "I need to piss, I need to piss". But the cabin crew said no.
So the corpulent star of Cyrano de Bergerac, Jean de Florette and Green Card decides to take matters into his own hands. It is understood the movie star got out of his seat and tried to relieve himself into an empty bottle at the back of the plane but also peed on the floor.
While the scene may have brought the house down in French cinema theatres, the real-life incident failed to raise a laugh on Tuesday from irate passengers of the Dublin-based City Jet airline; they were told Mr Depardieu's antics meant the plane would be grounded for two hours while staff cleaned the carpet.
The French star, who was travelling with two companions, was thrown off the flight with his luggage and told to book another one.
Friends of the actor said he was completely sober but desperate to relieve himself. At first he was told he had 15 minutes to wait, but then due to congestion on the runway, he was informed he would have to endure another 20 minutes, they said.

There is even a solid one with a female adapter. You could just lease it for a few minutes...:^)
lol. He’s only 62. He’s a lush, that’s why the article made a point of printing that his friends said he hadn’t been drinking (right).
According to the article, he got seated on the plane and as they were taxiing, asked how long it would be before he could use the bathroom, and was told 15 mins. If he had been a big boy and pee’d before he got on the plane, he wouldn’t have to go again in 15 mins.
Not-A-Ping....
Sometimes, it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Now let’s not get all oui oui’d up about this.
Oui oui!
The flight crew run races this way. The stewardesses have the inside tip on who drank the most liquid.
"The captain has turned off the 'fasten your seatbelt sign'"...
"AND THEY'RE OFF!"
Place your bets.
Exactly!
Those long transcontinental flights are mighty boring for the flight crews. Got to entertain themselves. With the seats numbered, and the cabin layouts printable, it’s like a Lotto game. There is money to be won!
His entourage is still trying to figure out how he got pie eyed when he hadn’t had a drop.
Hard to make that conservation-of-mass equation balance.
Who knows how long they’ll be working on it?
Hey Gerald, urine a lot of trouble now.
When you gotta go....
It’s Gerard Depardieu. He could take a dump on the serving cart and that would only enhance his status as a French national treasure.
That Gerard’s a real pisser...
