Your support makes all the difference.Dennis Quaid has stunned fans with what appears to be a tantrum on set.
“What the f**k - keep going. I am acting here, and this d**khead wanders on to my set,” he's heard screaming in a video that was leaked online, apparently by a member of the crew.
“I can’t even get a line out until dopey the d**k starts whispering in your ear, you’re not even watching any more.”
Someone off-screen apparently tries to reason with him, saying: “Dennis”, and he replies: “Don’t f**king ‘Dennis’ me.”
“I’m doing my job here, I'm a pro, this is the most unprofessional set I have ever been on. This is horses**t. I've got these f**king zombies over here that I have to look at. I have a bunch of p***ies staring at me, and this f**king baby. This is garbage.”
He then exits the set, but not before shouting the immortal parting line: “Blow me.”
It's unclear what project Quaid was losing his rag about, but many think that it's probably a joke.
Quaid has participated in hidden-camera pranks in the past, having done a few for Ellen DeGeneres' chat show.
The rant is pretty good, but it's no match for Christian Bale's classic meltdown, when he had a fit at a lighting technician during a scene.
Bale screamed on the set of Terminator: Genisys: “What the f**k are you doing? Are you professional or not? NO, NO, don't try to shut me up.”
He went on: “Am I going to walk around and rip your f**ing lights down, in the middle of a scene? Then why the f**k are you walking right through? Ah-da-da-dah, like this in the background. What the f**k is it with you?”
