Aloha from Kaua'i!
Anyone else see this article in TMZ.com (with pictures) of Nick Nolte laying flat on the floor of the terminal here in Lihu'e? Ai yi yi! If I can remember correctly it said that because his flight to the mainland was delayed, he was laying on the floor for upwards of 2 hours, drifting in and out of consciousness -- altho' they said he was friendly and talking to other passengers while he was awake -- some of whom were obviously snapping his picture! The pictures are truly sad.
They also mentioned someone "assisting him" to put a dollar bill in a vending machine for a snack -- now I certainly don't recall our airport having any types of vending machines in the boarding area -- anyone else?
He is/was here to film "Tropic Thunder" which was supposed to start shooting on Monday -- the picture of him was taken Monday -- is he through with his part already? Or just going home for a little "rest" maybe to come back later?
Anyhow -- I think it is sad that he didn't have an assistant of some type to help him -- I'm sure that either Hawaiian or Aloha would have put him into their "Premiere Club" or "Ali'i Club" lounge -- that way at least he wouldn't be laying on the floor with a bunch of photo-happy tourists!
Regardless of what you think about the man, it is sad that anyone could lay on the floor like that - be obviously "out of it" and not be assisted by anyone in that period of time.
