It’s Always Friendly Skies with Nick Nolte
Nick Nolte has long been known for his debonair charm and his effortless savoir-faire. He’s the Hollywood epitome of understated grace and quiet dignity. Like this week, for instance, when he got whiskey-drunk at the airport and made sweet love to the boarding area floor for two hours. TMZ reports
Dripping in sweat and barely able to keep his bloodshot eyes open, a handlebar-mustached Nick Nolte stunned travelers at the Kauai Airport this week — by passing out cold on the terminal floor! The incoherent actor drifted in and out of consciousness on the airport floor for more than two hours Monday night. According to the source, Nolte was still extremely friendly despite his groggy state — chatting with fans and allowing passengers to snap photos, however, he wasn’t entirely functional. “At one point we helped him put a dollar in the vending machine.”
It’s like one of the knights of old has been resurrected — the fabled hero of a time long passed gallantly cavaliering for the honor of a fair maiden. Except not on a white steed. And in more of a “stained t-shirt clutching a boarding pass” than “chainmail armor wielding Excalibur.” And instead of “King Arthur’s Court” it’s actually “the bar at Chili’s between Gate A27 and the head,” and instead of a saving a “damsel in distress” it’s more like “liberating a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.” Other than that, it’s pretty much the quest for Camelot word for word. It’s a like modern day fairy-tale, only with more sweat and falling down.
More airport candids of Sir Nick after the jump
I think I can smell him from here. Nasty.
Fuck chairs! Who needs ‘em?
You have chosen…poorly.
They let him roll around on the floor for two hours in a drunken stupor? What the fuck kind of airport is that?
The awesomest airport in the world!
He didn’t need a plane at all
I wonder if you can actually hear the anguished cries of any hairbrush that approaches his moppy ragtop?
thank the heavens! i’m flying into MAUI, not kuaui!
you think they’ll have all the paris stink out of the maui airport by october?
*sigh*
damned if you do ,damned if you don’t.
ROTFLMAO @ sonya (as usual)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s disgusting that people let Nolte humiliate himself like that. Is there no compassion?
ah lighten up. Its nick freaking Nolte! Loved his turn as the preacher in “northfork” If i was there. I’d have grabbed a bottled and pulled up a seat right there on the floor next to him. We could have talked about his hilarious work in “I love trouble” or not, maybe we could just have a drink, catch a nap and wait for them to open up first class.
Is there no compassion? This man doesn’t need compassion, he need another drink!
Hes human, so what hes sleeping in the airport, I think were all guilty of that due to airline delays. I doubt he was drunk, and if so, so what. I was delayed in an airport, and there is nothing to do but drink!
