Hard Of Hearing At The Hospital

November 17, 2016 Blind Gossip

man-listening[Pop Bitch] Which usually-beloved British actor wasn’t making many new friends on a recent trip to a London hospital?

He feared a Pink Floyd gig had caused him permanent ear damage – which maybe explains why so many people heard him shout “DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” at hospital staff who didn’t give him immediate attention. (We’d name him, but he’s already threatened legal action against one paper on this story…)

Similar: Drunken Fit

Actor:

[Optional] If he asked you, “Don’t you know who I am?”, how would you respond?

    Benedict Cumberbatch, he performed with Pink Floyd few weeks ago.
    “Don’t you know who I am?” “Of course I do, you are that famous actor Bandicoot Crumbledsnatch” (he hates when people make fun of his name)

    When I was working at PBS back in the day, Leslie Stahl called my boss, but he wasn’t available. She said, “it’s LESLIE STAHL” as if I should know who LESLIE STAHL is. Well I secretly did, but I didn’t let on that I knew. She got huffy but left a message.

    That would be Richard E Grant. He’s well known for doing that.

    Even if I knew who he was his issue was not life threatening so he can wait his turn just like everyone else – I hate people who think they are entitled to more because the get paid for playing pretend as an entertainment for others.

    Benedict Cumberbatch! He did a duet with David Gilmour for Comfortably Numb at the Royal Albert Hall in September. I wasn’t there that night, but a few nights later.

    Not sure about the actor – but if my job wouldn’t be in danger, I’d likely respond: “Do you have amnesia? You poor thing.”

    At a hospital, it doesn’t matter. Whoever has actual life threatening problems should go first and everyone else can wait their turn.

    I hope it’s not Benedict Cumberbatch because he is now one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes.

    Cumberbatch?

    Sean Connery.

    It depends on how sick they are. I would be more worried about their health than anything else.

    Benedict C?
    I would probably say “Yes and I really don’t care”

    Hugh Laurie
    Just totally on a whim, as he had a cameo in Friends.

    Surely this is where you go to a GP and not the hospital first, then get a referral to a specialist?

    Benedict Cumberbatch?

    Actor: Hugh Whatshisface, Grant?

    Not sure, but I like to think I’d say, “Yeah, you’re some dope yelling ‘Don’t you know who I am?!’ at me.”

    Optional: I would just laugh and walk away.
