Gerard Depardieu, the renowned actor, sparked controversy during a recent Air France flight.
The incident occurred when the cabin crew requested him to hold off for 15 minutes before using the restroom due to a delay in Paris with the plane set to depart for Dublin.
According to accounts from a fellow passenger on French radio Europe 1, Depardieu, aged 62, was heard urgently expressing his need to urinate to the flight attendants.
Despite being informed that the toilets were inaccessible until the plane was in the air, he decided he could not wait any longer.
In a surprising turn of events, Depardieu proceeded to unzip his pants and relieve himself on the aircraft’s carpet right in front of other passengers.
Witness reports suggested that his behavior may have been influenced by alcohol consumption.
Following the unsavory incident, the flight had to return to the gate, resulting in a two-hour delay as the crew worked to clean up the mess left by Depardieu’s actions.
Air France acknowledged the incident involving Depardieu, although the airline remained uncertain about the appropriate measures to take concerning the actor’s behavior.
Despite this unfortunate event, it is worth noting that Depardieu is a decorated actor who received critical acclaim, including a Golden Globe award for
