SCREEN legend Gerard Depardieu was thrown off an international flight after urinating in the plane’s aisle before take-off, a passenger said yesterday.

Disgusted travellers said the actor was drunk and called out: “I need to p***, I need to p***” then stood and relieved himself in front of the packed flight.

The jet was taxiing to the runway and cabin crew had told him to hang on until they were airborne and the seat belt sign had been turned off. The 62-year-old French star and his two companions were taken off Tuesday evening’s Air France Paris to Dublin flight, which was delayed two hours for cleaning.
A passenger told French radio: “Mr Depardieu was clearly drunk and repeatedly called to cabin crew he ‘needed to p***’ as the jet headed to the runway.

“An air hostess told him he would have to wait 15 minutes until we were in the air and he could leave his seat. He replied that he couldn’t wait then he just stood up and urinated on the floor.”

Flight operator City Jet confirmed an incident took place and wrote on Twitter: “We were busy mopping the floor of one of our planes this morning.” They refused to name the passenger.

Depardieu’s agent declined to comment. The star has been in over 150 films including Cyrano de Bergerac and Green Card.
