Hard Of Hearing At The Hospital

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…)

Actor:

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

  1. Benedict Cumberbatch? He performed on stage with them at the Royal Albert Hall in London recently.

  4. Please don’t be Benedict Cumberbatch
    I’d absolutely pretend I had no idea who they were

  8. Michael Caine?

    Michael York?

    Guessing here. I’m from Kansas City and beloved British actors ain’t exactly my special-ity. But I tried.

  11. Benedict Cumberbatch? He recently was on stage with Pink Floyd to help sing “Comfortably Numb”.

  13. 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.”

  18. 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?

  20. Sean Connery.

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

  22. 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.

  23. 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.”

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. 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)
