Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright: Bar Brawl Arrest
Splash News Online

You get involved with an Oliver Stone movie, and there's bound to be a little controversy.

Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright were busted during a bar fight around 2 a.m. on Saturday, reports the Shreveport Times. The two are in town to film Stone's George Bush biopic, W.

Reportedly a fracas broke out—and the name of this joint just really adds some charm to the story—at the Stray Cat bar in Shreveport, and Brolin and Wright were cuffed with the official misdemeanor of "interfering with police."

Brolin was booked and posted the $334 cash bond to spring himself from the clink, though Wright ended up not being listed in the city's booking computer.

No doubt Josh's wife Diane Lane will be none too happy with her punch-happy man's shenanigans—especially since the first time he went to the slammer was for spousal battery four years ago!

“Police Sergeant Willie Lewis said that Brolin, Wright, and five others were arrested after 2am Saturday at the Stray Cat bar.

It all sounds exciting eh? I wonder if the fight was over the movie being filmed. Stay tuned for more info.”

“Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) was arrested early Saturday morning at a bar in Shreveport, Louisiana. Josh, along with his W co-star Jeffrey Wright and some crew members, were apparently asked to leave the bar and refused to go. The cops were called and brawl-larity ensued.

Josh is playing the part of George Bush in Oliver Stone's W, and it looks like he forgot to break character. It happens. That said, it's a good thing Josh isn't playing Dick Cheney. Otherwise, he'd have eaten a baby by now. Ha! Political humor. Hilarious! Coming up next on The Superficial: Pet jokes! Don't touch that dial.”

“Actor Josh Brolin got pinched for bar brawling in Shreveport, LA yesterday. He's currently starring as George W. Bush in W, which is Oliver Stone's biopic of our current president. I hope it's truthful. Doesn't a bitch have to be dead to get a biopic normally? I was just going to type "I wish" but I don't want the Secret Service up my ass.

Anyway, Josh, one of my favorite actors Jeffrey Wright, and some of the crew were busted at the Stray Cat bar after a crew member got into it with a local. Who the hell is Jeffrey Wright playing in W? George Bush doesn't care about black people!”
