Dennis Quaid's Angry On-Set Meltdown: Is It Real?

In the clip, taken on someone’s mobile phone and uploaded to YouTube, Quaid is annoyed that someone walks onto set during a take.

He then "freaks out" as the uploader puts it, saying: “I am acting here, and this dickhead wanders onto my set … Don’t f*cking Dennis me … I’m a pro, this is the most unprofessional set I have ever been on! … This is horsesh*t! … I’ve got these f*cking zombies over here that I have to look at, I have a bunch of p*ssies staring at me … Blow me!”

The video naturally spawned a Reddit thread, with some commenters saying that it’s an elaborate prank for the Jimmy Kimmel US chat show.

On the other hand, Quaid doesn’t have a film to promote for the next few months, so it’s unclear why he’d be working with Kimmel on such a stunt.

The fact it’s filmed on a mobile phone (which is lowered to the floor for much of the video) could also suggest it’s genuine.

Either way, we’re sure the truth will out soon enough.
