Oh Nick Nick Nick.....Sadness

Nick Nolte stunned travellers at Kauai Airport when he passed out on the terminal floor after their flight was delayed due to engine problems.

A witness told gossip website TMZ.com: ‘He was suddenly flat out on the floor. He drifted in and out for about two hours.

‘He was dripping with sweat and his eyes were all bloodshot. He was very groggy, but friendly too, even though people started taking his picture. He wasn’t quite with it.’ The 66-year-old Oscar nominee is renowned for his heavy drinking.

One traveller says when Nolte was up and about he struggled to buy a can of soda, saying, "At one point we helped him put a dollar in the vending machine."

The actor’s representative insists he is "fine".

In 1990, Katharine Hepburn accused Nolte of falling down drunk in every gutter in town and he replied: ‘I’ve got a few to go yet.’ In 2002, he checked into Connecticut’s Silver Hill Hospital for counselling after he was arrested for DUI (driving under the influence).
Nolte’s mugshot - showing him in a Hawaiian shirt and sporting unkempt hair - was voted number one in VH1’s ‘40 Most Shocking Celebrity Mugshots’.
