10 Movie Stars Who Should Never Promote Anything (Ever)
2. Gary Busey
On December 4th 1988, Hollywood actor Gary Busey, Oscar-nominated a decade earlier for his lead role in The Buddy Holly Story, was involved in a horrendous motorcycle accident. He fractured his skull and was in a coma for weeks. Managing to learn how to walk and talk again, Busey has been a little odd ever since.
This is, after all, the man who claimed that five parts of his brain contained alien power: the man who turns normal words into bizarre backronyms (DOUBT, apparently, stands for Debate On Understanding Bewildersome Thoughts, while FEAR means False Evidence Appearing Real). Then there's the time he threatened Swedish chat show presenters with a machete, after soaking fellow guests with a garden hose, the times that he would randomly yell at interviewers on the red carpet, the strange behaviour towards fellow guests on reality shows and interviews (he licked Jennifer Garner's neck and completely freaked Meat Loaf out on Celebrity Apprentice).
Anyone who's seen Busey interviewed in recent years - or seen him on Celebrity Big Brother - knows that his issues have become worse, not better. He's now 71, still working despite everything but if youre hiring him to work on a project, don't put him on the promotional merry-go-round.
