When you gotta go, you gotta go. Oscar-nominated actor Gérard Depardieu relieved himself on the floor of an Air France flight from Paris to Dublin Tuesday (Aug. 16) according to French radio station Europe 1.
Air France confirmed the incident in a statement saying, "Flight AF 5010 was delayed because of an incident involving a passenger who refused to remain seated. He was disembarked and the flight took off from Charles de Gaulle ... an hour and 15 minutes late ... he did indeed urinate in the aircraft."
Witnesses said the Frenchman chose to ignore instructions from the flight crew to hold it for another 15 minutes until the plane was in the air. It was at that point the Depardieu, 62, took care of business. The plane was forced to return to the terminal where the actor and his travel partners were booted from the plane.
The "Green Card" star was not arrested, and it remains unclear whether he will face any criminal charges.

Wow! I can't believe an actor, or anyone for that matter would do such a thing! Lol.
I think this is also partially the fault of flight staff. Sure, he should have better bladder control, but they shouldn't have denied him the need, especially with the outcome.
What is the whole story? Maybe he had a medical condition...
No, Depardieu is just an a**hole with no respect for other people
And how is this jackass still relevant nowadays?
Some of these airlines sometimes abuse THE soo called security measures. How long does it take to pee? THE man knew hè cld hv waited but prevailing conditions did not permit hence his request. Well THE flt did not depart earlier neither. Both lost.
