When Gérard Depardieu decides that he needs to take a piss, that mofo is going to take a piss. That’s the moral of this story – do not tell Gerard to hold it. So, Gerard was on a plane, preparing to fly from Paris to Dublin when the plane was delayed on the tarmac. Gerard needed to pee, and the flight attendants told him that he’d have to wait. So Gerard took a piss in the middle of the aisle:
Oh, mon dieu. Legendary French actor Gérard Depardieu caused quite a scene on an airplane Tuesday night by urinating in the cabin in front of his fellow passengers after the crew told him he had to wait to use the toilet, according to multiple reports.
The Golden Globe winner, 62, was on a CityJet flight from Paris to Dublin that was delayed on the tarmac when he asked to use the bathroom. After being told he had to wait until takeoff, he reportedly relieved himself in the aisle.
“I will only confirm that he, in effect, urinated in the plane,” a spokeswoman for the Air France-KLM subsidiary told AFP.
The carrier joked about the incident on Twitter on Wednesday morning. “As you may have seen on the news, we are busy mopping the floor of one of our planes this morning,” the airline wrote. “We’d also like to remind all passengers that our planes are fully equipped with toilet facilities.”
After the incident, the plane had to return to the gate and was delayed for two more hours for cleaning. It was not clear whether any action would be taken against Depardieu.
This isn’t the first episode of its kind this month. Teenage skier Robert “Sandy” Vietze was dismissed from the U.S. Ski Team’s development squad last week after reportedly getting drunk and urinating in the cabin of a JetBlue flight from Portland, Ore., to New York.

Is this gross? Definitely. Do I think Gerard could have found a better solution to this problem? Sure. But I also think that when you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go, and I hate the airline policy (of some airlines, not all) of “no one can use the bathrooms while delayed on the tarmac.” That issue is one of the central pieces of the Passenger Bill of Rights, which should go international too. My guess about this particular situation is that Gerard was simply drunk. He had too many alcoholic beverages and he needed to break the seal, NOW. Gross.

I have no idea why I think this is laugh out loud funny.
How long was it delayed? 20 minutes? Yes, you can wait. An hour? Bitch can use the bathroom.
Like airplanes are not unsanitary enough I’ve got to deal with some guy taking a piss around my kids because he can’t hold it. Wow
That’s a oui oui on the wee wee.
I’ve always thought he was a gross, nasty pig and this just confirms it.
I once got yelled at for using the bathroom while on the tarmac, this was years ago prior to the new rules… but I had a large coffee before boarding, we pulled away from the gate and then sat on the tarmac for over 2 hours, I had to go so badly I was in pain. When the flight attendant barked at me as I exited the bathroom I said I was sorry but the options were either use the toilet or I would have ruined their seat; needless to say I still got schooled on airline policy in front of the entire cabin. Lesson learned for me, no coffee or other liquid before boarding.
I love how he looks like a disney cartoon.
Old drunk is seen for what he is.
It’s gross, but the airlines have complete A-hole policies. There should be a passenger bill of rights. I’m on a freaking plane moving all over and it sucks.
He’s a huge, ugly drunk. Gross.
For some reason, I think Gerard and Kim Kardashian should get together.
Mais ,Mon Dieu Gerard!! I can’t help but laugh, although I’m sure I would have been really pissed off if I was on that plane.
Why is pissing in the middle of an aircraft cabin suddenly a trend?
Oh, and Brin? You are a rock star, as usual. 🙂
Oh the silly French – Lorsque vous avez à pee, vous avez à pee!
@Enny….Thank you (Gerry makes it easy)! *blushing*
I would be MAD if I had to go and someone told me I couldn’t – you have to go before takeoff, and then you hit the bumps and have to wait another 20 mins after you get in the air, then there’s a line?! I wouldn’t go in the aisle – but I’d be tempted. Team Gerard!
What is it with the men folk unable to function in a civilized world? Get your act together, morons!
UGH-LEE. I’m still baffled as to what Carole Bouquet found in this fat frog.
Get up. Walk to the bathroom. Pee. Return to seat. What are they going to do, physically restrain you? IF they do, pee where you stand. Then you have cause and a lawsuit.
My guess is that he would easily do the same thing while sober.
He is such a scumbag, words cannot describe. Here is a man who says that women love to be raped, who ruined his estranged daughter’s big moment at the Césars, who has quit acting at least 10 times now, who has instigated many fights with actors and directors, and who is perpetually drunk and obnoxious. So I guess pissing in an airplane cabin is just par for the course for this loser.
And his nose looks like a penis.
The plane was delayed MORE THAN 2 HOURS for cleaning while everyone got to sit in a cabin with his puddle? This makes me furious just reading about it! How did they explain that delay on the information boards at the airport – 2 hour delay for traveler malfunction?
I have LOATHED this SOB since he bragged about raping women.
I don’t remember why, but I hated him in high school. I wrote “Gerard Depardieu is an as*h*le” on the side of my converse all stars. When I heard this story this morning I totally cracked up. I was right!
Seal Team 6- Maybe that’s why!
It’s best to use the rest room just before you board the plane. You never know how long the plane is going to sit on the runway.
Depardieu has not been himself (or sober, i’m afraid) since the death of his son, Guillaume. I wish his family would organize an intervention and force hom to seek help.
He’s disgusting. Put a diaper on if you can’t hold it any longer, you old fart.
he’s rather beastly…
Was he fined or arrested?
@Stubbylove – Please don’t judge the French as a whole simply from the image of Gérard Dépardieu. He is hardly the average citizen!!!
He and Guillaume were not close at all but perhaps Gérard is having a hard time coming to terms with never having been able to mend the relationship before Guillame’s death, which was so sudden. His daughter Julie recently gave birth, maybe he can revel a bit in being a grandfather.
@flourpot – I agree. Gerard should’ve tried to get bathroom before resorting to peeing in the aisle. He’s a disgusting pig and I pity the people stuck on that plane with him.
I think he is a jerk. Should comply as everyone else. Who does he think he is?
This is what happens when you´re drunk, he ought to be ashamed of himself when he sobers upp.
Apparently he was intoxicated when he did this.
So why did they let him on the plane in the first place if he was that hammered?
@lio – this guy was a drunk a-hole loooong before the death of his son.
This one’s a Comedy!
Oh Gerard, you are – ‘ow you say – a silly pisspot!
(but seriously, wtf is it about Irish airspace that these loopers come out in their droves, even before they enter into it. Last year, we had the case of a “medicated” radio DJ having a wank in his seat, bookended by two women not of his acquaintance! And we’ll say nothing of poor ould JRM)
He will be better in a psychiatric hospital !
So, if all their “planes are fully equipped with toilet facilities” why not ALLOW THE PASSENGERS TO USE THEM?
Really, Idiot Airlines, choose the lesser of two evils. (Here’s your sign.)
I liken it to the story my mom told me about the only time I peed my pants. My mom BEGGED the store (can’t remember, I was too young) to allow me use the restroom. “No. Restrooms are for employees only.” After precious minutes of getting nowhere, she looked at me and said “Go ahead.” And I did. Right there in the aisle, in front of the people who wouldn’t let me use the restroom.
FYI, some people do not have the physical ability to “hold it.” There are certain medical conditions, you know. Both my daughter and I had them.
Stubbylove! good try its more Like “quand vous devez faire pee pee…”
Passenger bill of rights nothing! There was no delay in takeoff. For safety reasons, everyone has to be belted in their seat at takeoff. If you can’t wait 15 minutes until the plane reaches cruising altitude, then tie your weewee in a knot or wear a diaper. I’ll bet he was one of the last to board, so he had plenty of time to use the airport bathroom.
Good for him. Those stewardesses are control freaks.
No worries @Joan – I don’t – I’m 1/2 French and adore it. Also – thank you to @Dizzy – after 3 years of high school French (about 20 years ago) I tried my best! :>
While I find this revolting (and he probably was drunk), think about little kids under 10 being told by airline staff to “hold it” for two+ more hours just because the stupid plane is delayed on the tarmac! Obviously the sensible thing to do is to go before boarding (which I always do) but when a little kid has got to go, they have got to go! There probably have been hundreds of these kinds of accidents because of these stupid rules (adults and kids). There does come a point where you just can’t hold it in anymore, your bladder can only hold so much for so long!
If this had been you or me, we would have been arrested.
If he was full of booze then he probably had to go desperately. Even if he went before he got on board, that doesn’t mean anything if you’ve been drinking. The airlines need to be more accommodating for full bladders.
Listen folks, if your going to fly learn how. Treat the other people on the flight the same way you would like to be treated. Don’t drink any liquids before boarding, and go use the bathroom before boarding. If you haven’t brushed your teeth in the last few hrs. keep you mouth shut, your neighbor dosn’t want to smell your bad breath. I think scum bag Gérard should be arrested and jailed plus charged with the cost of the cleaning and what the 2hr. delay cost the airline.
I was on a plane and my five year old had to use the bathroom…BAD! The attendant told me we couldnt use the restroom because we had already started to descend .. I told her there was no way we were not going to the bathroom unless she wanted poop and pee all over her floor. She told us we could go in but couldnt come out until the plane landed so we were stuck in the bathroom the whole landing! Then the airline made me sign something that said I wasnt injured during the landing! It was ridiculous
Sloane, brilliant pairing of Kim and Gerard D.that is what you could call an orgasmic combination; I could see them having a baby too. So much more entertaining than that other fellow she is with.
Good point Ron, that is so true, never thought of the situation this way. He needs to be assigned community service, cleaning washrooms in homeless shelters, fast food outlets, and bars and as penance for all the trouble he caused to other passengers on this flight.
You have to go…, you have to go. They should have emergency cups for that reason!
Reminds me of when I had my amniocentesis. My kidneys are very efficient; they said drink water before the ultrasound, I drank water. Too. Much. Water.
The doc was “delayed” with the previous patient. After 15minutes I told them I had to use it or lose my dignity. This is pregnant, mind you. They said I could go “but don’t empty your bladder completely”. Have you ever tried to partially empty a painfully full bladder?
@Leez: How do you know the plane was not delayed on the tarmac, when the article clearly states it was? Where you a passenger on this plane?
I’m not a fan of this man by any stretch, but what was he supposed to do? When you gotta go, you gotta go. I don’t fly enough to be familiar with airline policies, but if I need to use the restroom, I will use the restroom regardless of what someone else dictates. I suppose he could have just pushed past the attendant and headed to the facility… a bit more sanitary, but his teaching the airline a lesson is pretty amusing.
He never bragged about raping a woman. The translation was horrible. His exact words were, “J’ai assiter a un viol.” (sorry no accents key this morning.) Which mean he witnessed a rape, not participated in a rape. Also since his son’s death he’s been a mess.
