Meet NYC's 'Superheroes'

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - This isn’t exactly first class behavior.

A week after a member of the U.S. Olympic ski team was sacked for allegedly peeing on the leg of an 11-year-old girl aboard a JetBlue flight headed to John F. Kennedy Airport, French actor Gerard Depardieu apparently said “au revoir” to the bathroom while on an Air France flight.

In the Aug. 10 JFK JetBlue incident, Sara Beth Joren, a Port Authority police spokeswoman, said Robert “Sandy” Vietze, 18, was pie-eyed on the red-eye flight from Oregon to New York when he urinated on the leg of the young girl.

Now back to Depardieu. The 62-year-old actor, on a delayed flight from Paris to Dublin on Tuesday evening, reportedly asked a flight attendant if he could use the bathroom, according to another traveler who spoke to French radio station Europe 1 on Wednesday morning.

When the flight attendant told him he’d have to wait about 15 minutes for the plane to take off because the bathrooms were locked, the star of “Green Card” said he could not wait, unzipped his pants and proceeded to urinate on the carpet, according to published reports.

The jet was forced to return to the gate and was delayed for two more hours while a crew cleaned up the mess.

One passenger told Europe 1 you could tell Depardieu had been drinking.

In a statement to national TV station TF1, Air France confirmed the passenger was Depardieu and that “he did indeed urinate in the aircraft,” but added it was unclear whether action would be taken against the actor since the plane was operated by code share partner CityJet.

CityJet later posted the following tongue-in-cheek posts on Twitter, ”As you may have seen on the news, we are busy mopping the floor of one of our planes this morning. We’d also like to remind all passengers that our planes are fully equipped with toilet facilities.”

What should happen to Depardieu or others who behave similiarly? Sound Off below

buhbleah

The french are such nasty a-holes.
Jimbo Jr.

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Easy for the steweardess to say wait 15 mins. When it’s coming you ain’t waiting 15 minutes. They got what they were asking for, dear old Gerard behaved appropriately not only relieving himself, but also giving the uncaring airline a good object lesson.
Auric Maston

I guess he really worked up a thirst in those Parisian rape gangs as a lad. Only two decent things he ever did was Green Card and punching out a paparazzi.
Michele Lloyd

Hey, the French as a matter of course publically whizz on their buildings, statues etc., therefore it naturally follows that a Frenchman will whizz on the French airplane.

sistaelle

there’s a difference between “on” and “in”..
Alvar the Fool

Let me guess how many times you have actually seen this happen in France….uuuuhhh….never, because you have never been here, You are very much like your president, you open your mouth and allow the urine to flow from that hole…and actually believe what you have just said…..thanks for the worldwide depression! We french fart in your general direction!

JohnW9540

If it was a French jet I have no problem.

Alvar the Frenchman

The carpet was made in Dalton, GA, I have no problem,

Tom

He was a troll when he was younger and now, he looks like a FAT troll.
Darrel

Present-dent Obama heard about this and released a statement: “That’s wee weed up.”
TheOldMan

Fine him for the salaries of the cleanup crew, two hours of flight crew salaries, and $150/hr/passenger for the delay.
Ken Puck

I think celebrities shouldn’t have to conform to “rules.” By virtue of their special looks and abilities they’ve demonstrated that they are able to do things the rest of us can’t. They’re a breed apart and deserve special consideration. That goes double for French celebrities.

Herr Direktor

Absolutely. Poor Gerard was suffering the indignity of traveling on a commercial flight.

dork dumande

Funny frenchie. Probably doesn’t use deodorant, either.

Alvar the Smelly

Why? I aura of our body oder extends the sphere of our influence!

werbaz neutron

This guy is really fat!!! He is an actor? I understand old guys like that often have these sudden intense urges to urinate. I guess it was just an unfortunate nexus of bureacratic regulations, obesity, age-related urological disfunction.
Apocalypto

You stay classy Depardieu! I bet he wets the bed every night. Old geezer.

Alvar to Adventurous

Only, if she is into that kind of thing…and if she is…all the better!

Rebecca J Duff

The stewardess should have given Gerard a cup! When you have to go, you have to go! Should he have peed in his pants on the seat? That would would of been more difficult and expensive to clean up, having to replace the seat and all.

Tom

Oh, PULEEEEEEZE!!! Next thing you’ll suggest is for planes to be equipped with bedpans. He could have held it.
Herb

They should drop a cup on him anyway as he’s probably full of controlled substances. And taking care of business before call for boarding, that’s too easy. By the way, I’m 62 and I don’t know what these uncontrollable urges are. Maybe it’s Sudden Aging Actor Whizzinating Syndrome.

Tom

They should present this jerk with a urine smoothie and make him drink it.

Alvar the Fool

That would be assult.

Cornywebb

Someone asked him if he was French.
Depardieu responded, “Oui, Oui!”
Tom

The word is defecating.

WhoDatMan

Bird bird bird bird is the word.

dam

I love a good non sequitur.

JOhn

He should pay all the passengers $10k each in reparations.
Charles Rand

Yeah, you have to watch for people *dedicating*.
Gatorman

Another French reprobate living up to his stereotype. What a POS
nickc1969

Authorities can tell you where you can’t go, but not when. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Rupert Pupkin

Nick, the “authority” in this case is COMMON DECENCY. “When you gotta go you gotta go” is the way of animals. You’re not an animal are you Nick?
Pahlavan

Before my back injury I would have said “suck it up, buttercup, and hold it” but now, when the urge comes, a locked door or the command to wait, carries no weight!

Palaver

Then throw on some Depends, and shaddup.

Rocco Henderson

Exactly. I’m probably the polar opposite of the actor policicallly (don’t know for sure), but I do know that there should be some means of bathroom accomodations at all times. Like the previous person said, “when you gotta to, sometimes you just gotta go”.
Josh

For peeing on a French plane I think we, the citizens of the USA, should take immediate steps to award him for DOING what we all are THINKING.
no mercy on this loser

another drunken moron………….
Coffee Girl

Buy some Depends.
Robert

Exactly! A shopkeeper once told me that her restroom was not ‘public’ .. she quickly changed her mind when I told my five year daughter she would simply have to pee on the floor.

A B

Let us not forget his enlightened views on “rape”. The man is a pig. Always has been.
heatherfeather

Smack that fat fcuk with a rolled up newspaper!!

charlie

LOL

Tim

They should not lock the bathrooms, urination is a natural body function.

Mike

Are you really that ignorant? The plane was preparing for departure and people are not allowed to get up and move around when the plane is about to leave the gate.

Big Jim

I’m 54 – when I have to pee, it is RIGHT NOW! Waiting even a minute or two to get to a washroom could cause an accident. Somehow, knowing that you are in a position where you can’t get to a washroom makes it worse.

When I get fully hydrated, I have to go about every 15 minutes. Trying to hold off results in excrutiating discomfort.

How would you like to be locked in a plane, delayed in take-off and being forced to wait until the plane is at cruising altitude before the washrooms are unlocked.
Mitch

@BigJim- You are responsible for your own toilet habits. If you are boarding a plane and are not smart enough to void yourself before boarding that is your fault. The world is not here to cater to little babies that can’t remember to go potty before their trip. Men used to be men and accept their responsibilities. You should try it and stop moaning about your bursting bladder.
tomhoser

No, you’re the idiot; it would have been a simple matter foe the crew to accommodate him just like they used to when air travel was civilized. They could have saved all the wasted time and hassle if they were just a little flexible. Not everyone is as well physically or as emotionally perfect as you so you might just show some compassion . Many of us would return the favor when you are in need.

Tom

It would be smart if people took care of their bodily functions prior to boarding a plane. That’s why they have rest rooms at the airports.

pdq

That’s not always possible. Some folks have to go minutes after having gone. What these people should do is wear an adult diaper. Drinking too much can be considered another good reason to do so. I’m so sick of alcoholics not getting help to stop, or something! Alcoholism is a huge problem and affects all aspects of health and society in general, both fiscally and socially. Even though I don’t smoke pot, it might be better to get addicted to that rather than alcohol!
Kathy Cobb

Tom, you must be young. Seriously I am almost 52, I go all the time. If I have to board a plane, I go right before. However, even then, many times, I have to go again. However, that being said. He could have gotten her to change her mind if he had warned her first of what would happen. Bet she would have opened to door. I mean, I try to never be in a place where to not be able to go is a possibility. But if someone told me I could not go, I would quickly try to persuade them or leave the plane and go. I think he just used it as an excuse to behave badly.
