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.
By Henry Samuel 17 Aug 2011
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.

when you gotta go you gotta go!
Oui! Oui!
How old is he? 5? He couldn’t pee before he got on the plane?
Well played, Henry Samuel.
He could be diabetic. When you gotta go..
He couldn't get to the bathroom (de toilette?) but the cabin crew let him get up and go to the back of the plane and expose himself?
What about the “remain in your seats” bit?
I have to say I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. They can lock you down in those seats for an hour before you can go to the rest room.
obviously needs to spend more time on the range ;-)
Probably didn’t need a Gatorade bottle or a Mickey’s Big Mouth bottle.
Gerard, if a paper cup was good enough for Lindburgh...you know the rest.
No joke.

Theres pee containers made for hospitals(available)... wide mouthed bottles work too for men... most women cannot aim that well.. but from a public SEAT?... (PEEING?)... It could be a problem with few solutions..
But older women don’t have prostrate problems.. like most older men do.. I would be surprised if this hasnt happened much more than with this Froggie..
The Fwench pee on the floor. It’s a Euro thing. That’s why libs have no taste..they want us to be like Euroweenies.
He should have used a paper cup.
How old are you? Maybe when you get to be as old as he is you may have a little trouble too.
