10 Minor Film Characters Whose Lives Were Probably Ruined Forever
10. Suited Bathroom Guy - Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
So we'll start with the minor character who inspired this article premise - the suited yuppie who wanders into the bathroom to find Johnny Depp's Hunter S. Thomson surrogate doing some really freaky sh*t in the Terry Gilliam adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In the sequence, Depp and his buddy drop some LCD, and end up performing some bizarre, slow-motion ritual. Wandering into the bathroom, the suited man spots these two, caught in a hallucination (I'll go as far as to say that one man is licking another man), and slowly retreats. As he sits at the bar, staring into space, his eyes white and dilated, Depp narrates: "With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all his favourite bars, men in red woollen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know." From the look on the poor guy's face, that's absolutely what happened: how did he go back to just "living" after the things he'd witnessed in that bathroom?
