scary

when famous people get angry

not including murderers (they tend to dampen the mood) i present to you some of the angriest famous people in the world.

angriest politician

- john prescott

i’ve written about john prescott before on my old blog and i still maintain that he’s my favourite ever politician. he’s angry, lethargic and completely pathetic in front of camera. the amount of times he’s fucked up on live tv is unreal and i’ve watched him ranting on bbc newsnight plenty of times to realise he’s got one hell of a temper.

and here we have the icing on the anger cake. if you were a politician and someone egged you in public, how would you react? hopefully not like this…

angriest parliament

- taiwanese

there’s a cable channel here in the uk that consists purely of footage from british parliament. does anyone watch it? do they fuck. the reason being, it’s the most boring spectacle on earth.

that isn’t the case if you’re watching taiwanese parliament. they have a worldwide reputation for anger management issues and especially during the 80’s and 90’s tried to batter each other at every available opportunity.

‘the first rule of taiwanese parliament: do not talk about taiwanese parliament’

watch this clip for a taster…

angriest footballers/soccer players

- eric cantona

now cantona wasn’t generally an angry person on the field but i wanted to include him purely due to the flying kick he produced a few years back. he’d just been sent off the pitch by the referee and as he was walking off a guy in the crowd shouted something that must’ve rubbed eric up the wrong way.

here’s his reaction…

- roy keane

from the day he started playing til the day he went into management, roy keane was constantly an angry, passionate player. he wasn’t a big fella either but that never stopped him.

use your eyes to watch a couple of his angry moments…

angriest tennis player

- john mcenroe

no contest as to who is the angriest ever tennis player. the amount of times he lost his temper on court is ridiculously high and through sheer anger he managed to create the catchphrase ‘you cannot be serious’.

to prove he hasn’t lost the temper here’s a couple of clips from 2 different eras…

the early years

mcenroe aged 48, still angry

angriest baseball coach

- hal mcrae

‘while managing for kansas city royals, mcrae was involved in an infamous incident in which he lost his temper with reporters and trashed his entire office, throwing things off of his desk and yelling profanities at reporters. it was recently voted the biggest pro-athlete blow up on the best damn sports show period’.

this is scary. watch out for the telephone to the face attack…

angriest boxer

- mike tyson

what can you say about iron mike that doesn’t involve his temper? absolutely off the chart in terms of mentalness and anger, if i could post a clip of his entire angry career i would do. the fact that when he talks he sounds like alvin the chipmunk just makes him scarier.

interviews

the ear chomp

angriest television presenter

- bill o’reilly

i personally think bill o’reilly’s a bit of an angry self-righteous twat and it infuriates me to watch clips of his programme. i also hate geraldo for similar reasons.

however, witnessing the two of them arguing is like watching two rabid brainless dogs fighting over a bone - hilarious.

angry brilliance.

angriest supermodel

- naomi campbell

if you’re ever offered a job by naomi campbell, don’t accept it.

unless, that is, you’re a sucker for extreme stress, temper tantrums and heavy objects to the head.

‘The allegations:

1998: Aide Georgina Galanis claims Campbell hit her over the head. The model pleaded guilty and paid undisclosed damages.

2000: Vanessa Frisbee accused Campbell of throwing a plate at her. The model denied it and sued for a breach of contract.

2001: Assistant Simone Craig claimed she had been kept hostage by the model, who denied the charge.

2004: Millicent Burton, a maid, accused Campbell of slapping her. The model said Ms Burton started it.

2005: Assistant Amanda Brack claims she was slapped and beaten with a BlackBerry device. The model denied violence.

2005: Yvonne Scio, actress and friend, claims Campbell punched and kicked her in a Rome hotel. The model denied violence.

2006: Housekeeper Ana Scolavino alleges she suffered a head wound when Campbell threw her mobile phone at her.’

angriest actor

- russell crowe

russell crowe is extremely angry - fact.

i’ve seen quite a few interviews with the crowe and pretty much every fucking time he has a look on his face that says, ‘god i hate talking to people. right now i’d rather be eating my own kneecaps than discussing my latest film’. he’s snappy, grumpy and angry.

and he’s had a few scuffles.

- he appeared at the 2002 baftas and read a tribute to the late richard harris but when the show was aired some of it was cut. crowe responded by roughing up the show’s producer malcolm gerrie.

- in june 2005 the crowe launched a telephone (possibly one of those really old, heavy ones. possibly not) into the head of a hotel employee after he dispicably refused to assist the crowe in making a call. that non-call cost him us$100′000.

other angry crowe moments can be digested here.

angriest musician

- bjork

it seems that bjork has a slight temper. i assumed she was nuts after hearing her music but never realised just how loopy. in 1996 she flew to thailand (on a plane) and as she exited the airport was greeted by a group of journalists, one of whom approached her son and uttered the words “welcome to bangkok”…

angriest ‘punk’

- henry rollins

watch and learn how to be constructively angry from a pro…

angriest minor league baseball coach

obviously this guy…
