Dennis Quaid is impressing audiences online with a new video he probably didn’t want seeing the light of day.
A 43-second YouTube clip, which appears to have been shot on a cell phone, captures the actor verbally flipping out on “the most unprofessional set” he’s ever been on.
“What the fuck? Keep going. I am acting here, and this dickhead here wanders on my set. I can’t even get a line out, until Dopey the dick starts whispering in your ear and you’re not even watching anymore,” Quaid screams. “Don’t fucking ‘Dennis’ me. I am doing my job here. I am a pro. This is the most unprofessional set I have ever been on. This is horse shit!”
Why the 61-year-old actor is flipping out, or where, is not clear.
The “Day After Tomorrow” star’s representatives declined to comment on the video. A representative for Mythology Entertainment — the production company behind his latest film project, “Truth” — told TheWrap that it did not take place on the set of their film, which wrapped production last year.
A number of commenters on Reddit, where the video with over 460,000 views has been upvoted over 4,000 times, are speculating it’s a prank for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — a late-night show that has had its fair share of viral hoaxes. One commenter on the site even said he works for the ABC talk show, and can “confirm” it’s a prank.
ABC did not immediately respond to TheWrap‘s request for comment.
Quaid is no stranger to on-camera high jinks, either, having pranked unsuspecting people several times during appearances on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
Still, there is no release date or even a trailer for “Truth,” the directorial debut from screenwriter James Vanderbilt (“The Amazing Spider-Man”), so Quaid probably isn’t thirsty for publicity yet.
While we wait for answers, sit back and enjoy the rest of his expletive-filled rant: “I’ve got these fucking zombies over here that I have to look at, I have a bunch of pussies staring at me, and this fucking baby. This is garbage. Blow me.”
