Jul 18 2007Nick Nolte is doing great
TMZ has photos of Nick Nolte at Kauai Airport Monday night passed out on the terminal floor. According to fellow passengers, Nick was passing in and out of consciousness for more than two hours after their flight was delayed due to engine problems.
According to the source, Nolte was still extremely friendly despite his groggy state -- chatting with fans and allowing passengers to snap photos, however, he wasn't entirely functional. "At one point we helped him put a dollar in the vending machine."
This would be sad if it was anybody except Nick Nolte. It might actually be a step up for him. Compared to his normal routine of digging through dumpsters and offering sexual favors for booze money, this is like attending some fancy ball.

Yes. The side of Hollywood they like to keep swept under the rug.

Yikes. What has happened to this man?
(and this is the first time I've ever seen a post with 0 comments. I feel special)

Maybe he took a sleeping pill so he could nap on the flight, and then the flight got delayed?? :)

Maybe they'll make "Another 48 More Hours".
It worked for Die Hard's Bruce Willis.
8. Me - July 18, 2007 4:47 PM
Maybe he took ecstasy thinking he could roll around in his seat. The flight was delayed so he had to roll around on the floor instead.

Wow, I mean.....wow, I don't know what to say. I actually feel...sorry for this guy.
Someone please email this to Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Avril Levigne, Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, Keith Urban, et al (the list goes on and on of the boozehounds) so they can see what GREAT ACTORS can end up looking like after an eternity of boozin' it up.
AND those listed are not GREAT actors, so it's even more possible for them.

Um... can we say "Jet Lag," or "exhaustion."
Cough... hack... hack... cough.
12. Bern - July 18, 2007 5:04 PM
Nick Nolte is hilarious. He's like a crazy hobo Gary Busey on steroids. i love it.
13. jMo - July 18, 2007 5:04 PM
man that guy knows how to have a good time.
14. eXtasyStef - July 18, 2007 5:05 PM
Groggy would mean jet lag. Unable to insert a dollar into a vending machine sounds more like 'exhaustion' of the Lindsey Lohan type.

Check out the chick with the buck teeth in pic #1, laughing at him!

I loved him in the 3 Fugitives. Hilarious movie for the time.
20. TOMMY SALAMI - July 18, 2007 5:35 PM
i remember taking beaver traquilizers with gary, but that was only the beginning he went on to lick frogs , snort furiture polish and eat magic mushrooms . i saw gary later that evening sniffing peruvian flake cocaine off the breasts of a pregnant cambodian and telling her he wanted to use her breast milk to make a white russian...... the man is my hero
21. Ooba Gooba - July 18, 2007 5:38 PM
I saw him in the SavOn drug store in Malibu a few years ago. It was right after he had gotten out of rehab, and he looked healthy. These pictures don't look anything like the guy I saw. Wow.
22. havoc - July 18, 2007 5:44 PM
Does the guy not have a manager or publicist? Jesus.....
Maybe he's doing research for Down and Out in Beverly Hills 2?
23. lambman - July 18, 2007 5:47 PM
LOL
24. Chauncey Gardner - July 18, 2007 5:50 PM
Look at those two people behind him in the first photo. They look so thrilled to be in a photo with Ned Beatty.
25. wedgeone - July 18, 2007 5:57 PM
#24 - Ned Beatty. Hilarious.
#22 - So you're saying that the first "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" wasn't acting, just Nick being Nick?
Gary Busey vs. Nick Nolte in a real life deathmatch. First one to make their liver explode wins.

So sad.. he used to be so handsome, now... well, now there are no words to describe that...

What's wrong with Nick Nolte?It seems he really doesn't care.Sometimes human beings become on the outside what they're on the inside.
28. eaglepupil - July 18, 2007 6:18 PM
NSFW--Not So Fuck Worthy!

Nick Nolte and Lemmy Killmeister from Motorhead... separated at birth?
30. Lexoka - July 18, 2007 6:47 PM
I love that guy! Sure, he's weird, but that's part of why he's so great.
31. Bitt - July 18, 2007 7:46 PM
The Deep, North Dallas Forty, 48 Hours.........he was mighty, so the mighty has fallen. Even losers are laughing at him now.
32. Mdiz - July 18, 2007 8:11 PM

33. sue - July 18, 2007 8:40 PM
Maybe being rich and famous is dangerous. The man is a genius and no one came to make sure he is okay? He's old after all. I wouldn't want to live out there. Fun to read about how the mutants live and die.

Sparkly brass knuckles?

It's the People Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" curse. How else do you explain Travolta's elephantitis of the head, Tom LTC Cruise being possessed by Xenu, and Pierce Brosnan's cancer of the career?

What's wrong with a celeb acting normal? Who hasn't passed out in the airport after a flight delay? C'mon...been to Vegas anyone?!?! Honestly it's nice to see one of them who doesn't give a shit, and in a good way.
41. Veggi is stupid - July 19, 2007 4:47 AM
It's not just one bad night he's had the guy is obviously a serious alcoholic. He looks just so sick but I suppose its too late to get help.
42. Coco - July 19, 2007 4:51 AM

43. woodhorse - July 19, 2007 8:40 AM

As if the mental giant who wrote this is so above it all. Please. God this site sucks anymore. And whatever hack writes for it totally steals stories--verbatim--from Socialite.com, The Scoop, TMZ.....you name it.

nick nolte is the motherfuckin man. remember cape fear? he beat DeNiro's ass.
56. friendofnick - July 20, 2007 3:00 AM
we were with Nick at the airport in Kauai and he had not been drinking. the flight was delayed for two hours, so we were there for 3 hours, and he had spent the day on a hot and muggy movie set. the 'disheveled look' is for his character in the Ben Stiller movie he is co-starring in. during the 3 hours we were there, the only thing he had to drink was water which he bought at the airport. there were lots of people crashed out on the floor of the terminal waiting for the delayed red-eye flight to have its failed hydraulic pump replaced. the person who posted this should feel ashamed of herself (I actually think I know who did it - she was taking pictures of him with a long lens just like paparrazi). people should leave him alone and appreciate the body of work he has done as a respected actor!
