[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…)

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?
CatInTheHat says
Benedict C?
I would probably say “Yes and I really don’t care”
rosarybjork says
Sean Connery.
It depends on how sick they are. I would be more worried about their health than anything else.

Cumberbatch?
beancounter says
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.
CanaryCry says
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.”
RudePostItNotes says
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.
Kricket1 says
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.
Sweep says
That would be Richard E Grant. He’s well known for doing that.
Squeezes99 says
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.

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)
