I heard he was a bellend


But not to this extent, pretty scathing.
Pity as I still like his older film's. ⤵

Chase has insulted and assaulted co-workers, spouted racist, misogynistic and homophobic views..


Which means nothing these days. Those words are now "nulls". They no longer have any official meaning. If you didn't vote for Obama, you're a racist. If you didn't vote for Hillary, you're a misogynist. If you don't think men should be using the same restroom as your wife and daughter, you're a homophobe.

Still, by all reports, he is a first class tool.

Egomania is a common malady that affects many "celebrities". I have met many and by and large, the ones I've met have been humble and pleasant. Some that I have met are total jerks. I believe that Chase is one of these.

Back when he was funny, you could overlook this because entertainment fans didn't have to deal with him. Now that he's no longer funny (a direct result of meglomania IMO), he's just sad. Reminds me of Alec Baldwin.

Yep I know where you're coming from, Certainly gives a different perspective on watching his old film's now knowing what he was really like behind the scenes and in general.

LOL! Just read the rest of the article. Much more of a tool than I thought!!

Fortunately, I can distance myself enough from his assholiness that i can still enjoy the Vacation and Fletch movies, but I won't watch him on any current show or interview.

Yep he sounds like a piece of work. With hindsight i would like to have been able to see Bill Murray go for him during their SNL days 👍
