Dennis Quaid almost pulled a Mel Gibson

October 22nd, 2009 // 31 Comments

Dennis Quaid got drunk off his ass last night at Philippe’s in West Hollywood and apparently attempted to drive home with his wife Kimberly when a friendly police officer stopped him just before he took off. (The motor was running, for you legal nuts.) Of course, had this been you or me, the cop would’ve waited for us to drive away then let a K-9 unit bite us in the testicles during the arrest. Access Hollywood reports:

According to TMZ and Radar Online, Dennis got behind the wheel of the car when a police car pulled up alongside side the actor’s car and urged the 55-year-old actor to not drive.
According to TMZ, police repeatedly told the actor, “Get out of the car.”
He reportedly responded to the officer, asking, “What do you want me to do?”
The actor, his wife and friend then reportedly went back inside the restaurant and emerged a short time later to a waiting taxicab.
The waiting paparazzi reportedly screamed, “You don’t want a DUI. You don’t want to end up like Mel Gibson.”
Dennis reportedly laughed before getting into the cab and driving off.

Want to know the worst part of this story? Dennis Quaid was at Kim Kardashian’s birthday party which means he could’ve drunkenly plowed through a day-care filled with orphans and abandoned puppies and people still would’ve been saying “Kim Kardashian’s birthday party?! That’s fucking terrible.”

    That was very cool of the cop to stop him and “suggest” that he find another way home. After the medical mishap and lawsuit with his twins, Dennis didn’t need more added drama by getting a DUI.

    Kudos to the cop–a fine example of what “to serve and protect” should be.

    Dar, I’m sorry but Dennis brought this one on himself. Grown men getting drunk & driving should not be having kids.

    Nice comment 14!!! I love it. BTW, he didn’t pull a Gibson–had he done that, he would’ve made a complete asshole out of himself.

    Damn…what happened to him? He used to be so good-looking.

    #13, I’m sure if she could have driven, she would have. Just because someone looks sober doesn’t mean that they are.

    I like Dennis Quaid, so I’m not cheering for him to screw up. But I believe that if you are tanked and even sitting in the driver’s seat of a running automobile, you are technically DUI. Even if the car is in drive and you have no intention of driving, maybe just running the heater to sleep it off. The LAPD are the biggest joke of a police force in this country. Starfuckers.

    He should have shrank his car down to microscopic size, flown into the cops ear, and then blasted “Fuck the Police” by NWA like he did in Innerspace.
