After seven hours of staggering around London's Palace Hotel drunk as a lord, Kiefer Sutherland loses control at the sight of the hotel's 12-foot Christmas tree. As reported in the Sunday Mirror:
"I hate that fucking Christmas tree," he declared. "The tree HAS to come down."
Kiefer warned staff: "I'm smashing it—can I pay for it?"
A staff member replied: "I'm absolutely sure you can, sir."
The Lost Boys star—famously ditched by Julia Roberts five days before their wedding in 1991—then hurled himself into the Norwegian Spruce, sending baubles and lights crashing to the ground. Pulling pine needles out of his hair and t-shirt, he said to a hotel employee: "Ooh, sorry about that... You're so cool. This fucking hotel rocks."
