Gerard Depardieu has given his first full interview about the
controversial incident during which he was escorted from a plane
after urinating in the aisle.

Giving perhaps more information than we needed to know, the French
film star said he told the flight attendant “I am an elephant . . . I
have a lot of pee.”

The 62-year-old corpulent star of Cyrano de Bergerac, Jean de
Floretteand Green Card claimed he had no choice but to relieve himself
into a bottle on a plane last month after a flight attendant blocked
the bathroom door, insisting “I’m not a monster.”In a talk show
interview with CNN, conducted via satellite from Dublin, Depardieu
said he tried to use the lavatory on board the Paris-to-Dublin flight
before takeoff but that the flight attendant “blocked the door with
her foot” and ordered him to return to his seat.

Laughing as he recalled the incident, the Frenchman added: “I say:
‘Madam, I have a lot of pee. I have to go pee. It’s hurt me. I’m not
a terrorist, I just want to pee.”

After the flight attendant again refused, he borrowed an empty bottle
from a friend and relieved himself. “It was so beautiful, you know.

It’s very hurt. I’m not a monster. I’m just a man who wants to pee…

I don’t understand why she blocked the door.”

Things turned even more confrontational when the bottle overflowed.

“The bottle was too small, you know. I am an elephant… I said:
‘Don’t worry, I will clean it up.'”

By then other passengers had gathered around with camera phones,
and the plane soon taxied back to the terminal, where Depardieu was
escorted off by the ground crew without incident.

When asked if “any wine was involved,” Depardieu said no.
