Steve Guttenberg : Funny Guttenberg story

Funny Guttenberg story

My dad and I are both film buffs, I remember when I was really young (4 or 5) he rented both Short Circuit and Police Academy. I remember loving them both so much, years went by and we started buying movies, collecting them. When I was about 10 I found a VHS of Short Circuit. I said to my dad that we should get it and he just turned to me and said "No. Steve Guttenberg is in it, I never want to see that movie again." Likewise with Police Academy. When I asked why, my dad said "Because Guttenberg is a complete ass hole". I left it at that.

But recently, Guttenberg made an appearance on season 6 of Community and I decided to ask my dad WHY he hated Guttenberg so much:

My dad was a Toronto Police officer for 32 years, and in the early 90's, Guttenberg was filming a movie in Toronto and my dad was hired as security on the film. They were filming down near the Humber Sewage Treatment plant, in between takes, Guttenberg walked by my dad and the wind from the Sewage Plant blew the wrong way, so my dad turned to Guttenberg and said "Did you do that?".
Guttenberg flew into a rage and started screaming at my dad "WHAT?! HOW F CKING DARE YOU MAKE A COMMENT LIKE THAT TO ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO THE F CK I AM?! I'M A F CKING MOVIE STAR! YOU'RE JUST HIRED SECURITY!"
He then tried to get my dad thrown off the set, but being that my dad was a cop in full uniform, hired to guard the set, that didn't happen lol

So now my dad refused to watch any of Guttenberg's movies, not out of spite per se, but because he feels that his perception of the man is so tainted that he can't stand seeing him on screen.

I can't say I blame him, I feel the same way about Shia LaBoef..though I admit I've never met him.





End Of Line.

Re: Funny Guttenberg story

This is a great story and youR dad should write a screenplay about this. I can totally envision being this much of a bag in person. I could also see him acting in this screenplay in 2016.
