(This was too funny to pass....)
French film star Gérard Depardieu just couldn’t wait any longer, or didn’t want to.
While waiting for takeoff aboard a delayed flight from Paris to Dublin last night, the 62-year-old actor apparently needed to use the bathroom, but the plane’s crew wouldn’t let him. As a result, Depardieu decided to relieve himself right there in the plane’s cabin, much to the dismay of other passengers.
Fox News reports that one of the passengers who witnessed the incident, Daniele, spoke to a French radio station about Depardieu’s antics.
After Derpardieu supposedly announced “Je veux pisser, je veux pisser,” “the attendant said ‘I’m sorry, you’ll have to wait fifteen minutes, [when] we’ll be in flight. The toilets are locked,’” Daniele said, adding that it appeared as if the actor had been drinking.

When you gotta go, you gotta do.
Sigh. America will never be as sophisticated as the French. They have a certain “Je ne sais quois”.
yeah, but it takes a rich white kid from vermont to piss on a child.
Not saying he was in the right, but I have sometimes wondered, “Just what are you SUPPOSED to do if, due to choppy weather etc., the REMAIN SEATED light is on for a long time, and you GOTTA go?”
In all my years of plane travel, though, I’ve never been FORBIDDEN from using the lavatory on a plane. At worst, I’m told, in essence, “Hey, we warned/admonished you; if you get hurt now, it’s not our fault.”
Did you see the picture of Depardieu on that page?
Holy crap he got fat! What the Hell happened to him?
Gerard has always been a major goofball. I saw him years ago at the New York Film Festival premiere of The Last Metro. He was awfully drunk, stumbling around the stage while yelling “I luf New Yoirk!” Catherine Deneuve and Francois Truffaut just looked embarrassed, lol!
Years ago, I was on a Spain-bound plane at JFK. We had waited in line for a long time when the captain announced we would be taking off in about 15 minutes. That's when my not-quite-3-year old daughter announced she needed to go to the bathroom. It was hopeless, she started whinning, saying she couldn't "hold it"... Finally I got up and asked a flight attendant. She took a look at my daughter and told me to take her and, please, hurry up! We were still in the bathroom when the captain came in the intercom to announce that there were 2 passengers away from their seats, so he had pulled the plane out of the line, and that it would probably be another 30 or 45 min before we could take off. You can imagine the stares as we exited the bathroom and walked back to our seats!
I’m just shocked that the French verb for “to p*ss” is actually “p*sser.”
...treating a 3 yr old like that.....
...I guess we all need Depends if there's any flying in the future....
Truly asinine.
And no, I'm not defending Depardieu or that vile rich kid 18 yr old....
..but a 3 yr old?????
“... it appeared as if the actor had been drinking.”
Ya think?
Still acting like Porthos in The Man in the Iron Mask, I see.
Whenever I’m flying, I always limit my liquid intake and use the airport restroom before boarding.
saw a postcard once that had a statue of a boy or cherub and water was coming out of his you know where, and the caption said “Manneken (little man) pis”...
When I traveled with my elementary-school aged sons a few years back, I put them in pullups ... for just that reason. I told them it was just for the plane ... just in case they really, really had to go and weren't allowed up. They never had to use them, but I know I felt better!
Me too... but mostly for security reasons. I travel with my computer and I don't like to leave it behind. I would rather have it next to me in a stall in the airport restroom than leave it in the bin while I do my business on the plane.
I'll grant that it's much easier for men to use the bag in that manner than it is for women.
