14 Things You Didn't Know About Axl Rotten

3. He Nearly Killed Ned Beatty

€œI was driving to the show with John and talking to him about my experiences on the TV program, when Ned Beatty ignored the crosswalk in the road and I almost hit him. I had no idea who he was. As far as I was concerned it was just some dumbass who had jaywalked in front of me and nearly caused an accident, so I rolled down the window and cut a big f*****g promo on him. €œYou have no idea who that was do you?€ asked John as we set off again, €œThat was the guy from Deliverance!€ Oh yeah, now I recognised him. Accidentally running over Ned Beatty would not have been the best way to start the day!€
