Actor and Josh Brolin in Louisiana shooting Bush film.
Actors Jeffrey Wright and Josh Brolin, co-stars of Oliver Stone’s forthcoming George W. Bush film “W,” were arrested during a bar fight early Saturday morning in Shreveport, Louisiana, according to the Shreveport Times.
The actors, who are shooting the film in Shreveport, were reportedly caught up in a fight at the Stray Cat bar. When officers arrived just after 2 a.m., Brolin and Wright – who plays General Colin Powell in the film – along with other bar patrons allegedly attempted to impede police.
Brolin, who plays President George W. Bush, was arrested along with Wright and two others and charged with interfering with police, a misdemeanor. A fifth person, who was working as a “W” lighting technician, was charged with entering and remaining, resisting arrest and public intoxication.
Brolin was booked in city jail and released on a posted $334 cash bond. It was unclear as of press time if the other people involved were also released.
I saw an article title talking about Josh Brolin being arrested, but I had no idea that Jeffrey Wright was caught up in this also. Lawd. I wonder what started the fight.
