French film star relieves himself in plane's aisle

France's biggest film star Gerard Depardieu urinated in an airplane in front of fellow passengers after cabin crew refused to let him use the bathroom.

Gerard Depardieu unzipped his pants and urinated
right on the carpet much to the disgust of his fellow fliers

The 62-year-old actor was caught short on a delayed flight from Paris to Dublin on Tuesday evening, but his demands to be allowed out of his seat fell on deaf ears according to another traveller.

"Je veux pisser, je veux pisser,"

(I want to pee, I pee) implored Depardieu, according to Daniele, who was among the 127 passengers on board the Air France jet left reeling by the antics of the giant of the French screen.

"The attendant said 'I'm sorry, you'll have to wait fifteen minutes, [when] we'll be in flight. The toilets are locked'," Daniele added. Depardieu said he could not wait, unzipped his trousers and proceeded to urinate on the carpet.

"You could tell he'd been drinking," the disgusted passenger claimed.

The jet was forced to return to the gate and was delayed for a further two hours as ground crew cleaned up the mess.

Depardieu, arguably France's most celebrated living actor, has enjoyed a career spanning four decades and well over a hundred films.

He is best known outside France for the film Green Card, for which he won a Golden Globe best actor award.

Air France confirmed the incident took place in a statement but said it was unclear what or whether action would be taken against the movie actor as the flight was operated by City Jet, a subsidiary of the national carrier based in Ireland.
