Cuba Gooding Jr. is being called a hero for saving a shooting victim’s life last week. Cuba was waiting in front of a restaurant when a kid who was bleeding from the neck collapsed in front of him. Cuba cradled him in his arms and hailed down a police car. Gatecrasher reports:
[Cuba] was waiting in his car outside a Hollywood restaurant “when he heard four gunshots,” says a source. “Cuba was picking up dinner for his family on the night of Memorial Day,” says the spy. “He saw a young kid holding his head and walked toward him. The kid was bleeding from his neck and collapsed.” Gooding cradled the victim, described as a man around 20 years old, and called into the restaurant for towels. “They came out with paper towels and he said, ‘No, we need real towels!’” says the source. The actor stemmed the bleeding and hailed a passing police car. He waited on the scene until an ambulance arrived.
I guess that’s pretty cool, but if he really wanted to be a hero he should’ve jumped in front of the bullet, in slow motion, while going “Yeeeeaaaaarrrrgggh!”

Aww, I’ve always liked him. And sure, that counts as heroic, he didn’t break down and cry and run off.

wait, he was out getting dinner for the family himself? He’s on takeout pickup duty for his own family on a traditional holiday and fried food cookout day?
somthing wrong with this picture.

Third? fourth?

Cuba won Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar for Jerry maguire. even TOM CRUISE hasn’t got an oSCAR. Cruise is a 3 time loser and probably has churchfuls of scientists grabbing his food.
Cuba has the hardware and it out on a national holiday bringing home the McBacon?
dayyeeeem.
great | June 6, 2007 at 10:22 am
yeah, that’s pretty nice. too bad heroism doesn’t save you from being the worst actor, ever
Jack Napier | June 6, 2007 at 10:37 am
SHOW ME THE BULLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kdollarsign | June 6, 2007 at 10:43 am
I guess this positive and uplifting story will be hard to be make fun of. But let’s try.
krazihottkelli | June 6, 2007 at 10:52 am
ok,who iz he?
nice he helped the kid,
but who wouldn’t…U
would have to be an
azzhole to let someone
bleed to death in front
of U…he had no choice..
Shooter | June 6, 2007 at 10:54 am
That was kind of irresponsible of Mr. Gooding. Sure, it was heroic, but he needed to think about how this is going to be seen in Hollywood. His career will prosper, and because of that, morons like Tom (not actually Tom, as per the lawyers) will start hiring gang-bangers to shoot each other in front of restaurants so they can “save” them.
This sets a dangerous precedent.
Dar | June 6, 2007 at 10:56 am
How does jumping in front of the bullet while doing a Howard Dean impression make somebody more heroic? I’m confused…
Bodylotion | June 6, 2007 at 11:05 am
God damn it Kelly, can’t you for once writing fucking plain English, PUH-LEASE? Your substitutions of s’s with z’s and ‘you’ with ‘U’ is just freaking annoying. You aren’t more “cooler” if you write like that.
Bern | June 6, 2007 at 11:19 am
I can’t make fun of anyone for this …
Sheva | June 6, 2007 at 11:20 am
Me too. I salute the guy. Now if he had only slammed Tom Cruise’s head against the wall, he’d be a superhero.
RichPort | June 6, 2007 at 11:21 am
What, was he too retarded to Radio for help? Get it??? hahahahahahaha

He was heard calling out “I need real towels! And a starring role in a new movie that doesn’t suck! NOW!”
IhateKellitoo | June 6, 2007 at 11:25 am
There’s no doubt that most of these posters would let you bleed to death in front of them.
Towlie | June 6, 2007 at 11:27 am
See – don’t forget to bring a towel!
…wanna get high?
Jesse Jackson | June 6, 2007 at 11:30 am
It was lucky that a black actor happened by at that moment, knowing what to do in a familiar situation (random black-on-black shooting).
Nowz | June 6, 2007 at 11:32 am
This almost makes up for Boat Trip!
Cartman | June 6, 2007 at 11:34 am
You’re the worst character ever, Towlie
wedgeone | June 6, 2007 at 11:38 am
Way to go CG! I salute you.
And the movie Rat Race – superfunny!
wedgeone | June 6, 2007 at 11:39 am
BTW – #8 – that’s superfunny also.

“”I guess that’s pretty cool, but if he really wanted to be a hero he should’ve jumped in front of the bullet, in slow motion, while going “Yeeeeaaaaarrrrgggh!”"”"”
Ugh, the comments are getting too painful to even read.
kellygirl57 | June 6, 2007 at 11:55 am
I’m with Bodylotion….krazihottkelli should get her azz to a spelling clazz. Retard.
jeremy | June 6, 2007 at 11:57 am
I remember when when Hollywood stars acted like Hollywood stars. It seems like just a few years ago Christina Applegate was making fun of an overdosed river phoenix. now thats how a Star should act.
Cuba should have just called the waiter over and had this riff-raff removed from his sight!!
Greatestntheworld | June 6, 2007 at 12:11 pm
While his actions are commendable, I have to wonder, “How is this news?” Now, if he would have touched the guy’s neck and it healed miraculously, then that would be news. Otherwise, it is just a story of a Cuba being a decent human being.
True Story | June 6, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Tom Cruise was in a similar situation a few years ago, but it got covered up. Apparently he looked around, thought nobody was looking, then pulled out his cock and started buggering the bullet hole in the kid’s neck. Talk about rubbing salt into a wound…
Al Sharpton | June 6, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Sadly, it turns out Cuba lifted the kid’s wallet AND skipped out on the restaurant bill. Still, he didn’t do the actual shooting himself, so let’s hear it, everybody say it with me:
THERE THERE THAT’S A GOOD NIGGA! GOOD BOY!
Anybody got a biscuit? (and gravy?)
bigsteamyone | June 6, 2007 at 12:21 pm
How come there are no ” BOYZ IN THE HOOD ” comments? yeah yeah yeahhhhhhhhhh !

Sounds like a Boyz N The Hood replay for Cuba.
RIIIIICKYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Word up G!
Cuboid is like weel kool. Wot a wicked dude. Big up nuff respeckt ta tha homie.
Fuck da police!
Steve | June 6, 2007 at 12:50 pm
10- I guess since it’s summer and school is out I’m gonna have to read more of your lame ass comments. I really wish you would kill yourself or at least learn to write like someone over the age of 4.
wedgeone | June 6, 2007 at 1:21 pm
$100 says the bullet will be traced to a gun owned by Cuba himself, and he’ll confess that he and a friend cooked up this whole thing to generate positive buzz. Cmon people, don’t be so gullible.
Jeanie | June 6, 2007 at 1:42 pm
I love Cuba Gooding Jr, but damn, was this restaurant in the ghetto? I would imagine an Oscar winner would be going to a posh place where people weren’t randomly getting shot. Maybe he’s keeping it real in the ‘hood.
MalynLaReina | June 6, 2007 at 1:46 pm
mad props to cuba
nagger please | June 6, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Let me guess. A negro did the shooting. they’re effing savages.
KC | June 6, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Show me the towels!
Chauncey Gardner | June 6, 2007 at 2:35 pm
However many shitty movies he makes, Cuba’s a really nice guy. I met him as an extra on one of his movies, years ago, and he was totally approachable and friendly with everyone.
Donald Sutherland, on the other hand, was an imperious prick, who wouldn’t talk to anybody but the director, and who nearly cleared the set with his chronic gas problem. I’m sure they had to ADR the entire scene due to the ferocious rumbling of his bowels.

whoa whoa whoa – Chauncey Gardner, if you’ve got stories like that, why the fuck are we reading any of this crap?! Let’s hear ‘em!!!
EatShitAndDieBitchez! | June 6, 2007 at 3:11 pm
Yea==I saw #13 & 18 do=in 26
in the menz bathroom and they
were so nazty…damn…they
couldn’t even wait to get in
privacy to do their stuff(winkwink)!
what a bunch of fuckin HOz…
KAWS | June 6, 2007 at 3:16 pm
What a surprise, dumb ass ignorant crackers making jokes even when it’s a black man doing a good thing… Yeah I’m sure white trash like that dirty cum sucking Paris would have jumped at the chance of saving this guy, no wait she probably would have just jumped on top of him trying to get him erect so she could rape him for the publicity.
Fucking crackers.
skankalicious | June 6, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Well maybe I’m the cynic but I always wonder if things like this are a set up for good publicity ? Like when princess Diana saved the tramp from dying – I thought Uh huh – SURE!
nagger please | June 6, 2007 at 3:31 pm
I’d take white trash over negroes any day..
Mark Fuhrman | June 6, 2007 at 3:34 pm
#44 – KAWS/gibbering monkey/slaveboy/whatever, you were jerking off when you wrote that last part about Paris, weren’t you, bignose? We’ve warned you about even thinking about white women. Don’t make me get the rope! At least not until you’re finished picking that cotton, boy.
Wedgeone | June 6, 2007 at 4:05 pm
Stop the race hatin’ ’round here!
Wedgeone | June 6, 2007 at 4:11 pm
You hear me, hillbilly boy?
You too, monkeyboy.
Fuckin rednecks and tarbabies. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give the South internet access?
