Dan Aykroyd Loses It During Interview With Ellen Fanning

You know if Dan Aykroyd is in the news, it must be bad. The 61-year-old Canadian-born singer/actor was on an Australian talk show the other day when things got a bit out of control.

He was discussing his career and personal childhood stories with the host of the show, Ellen Fanning. Things were going smoothly during the interview, but that all changed when Danny boy tried to push his vodka brand, Crystal Head Vodka.

Fanning was not having his shameless plug, so she did everything she could during the interview to ignore his advertising. Aykroyd became so mad at some point during the interview that he ripped off his sunglasses, mentioned his full line of vodka products and then stormed out of the interview.

People say they heard the actor yelling, “F–king hosebag!” outside of the studio. The network for the show wanted the producer to offer an apology to Dan, but the producer and Fanning say that the actor should be apologizing to them, “advertorials are not part of the show’s format.” a spokesperson said for the show.

Hosebag is an insult that should really be more popular than it is. I can’t remember the last time I heard someone call someone else a hosebag. However, I do find it a little weird that the show is against people promoting their work.

That’s usually how the interview process works, the actor helps out the show with an interview and the show helps out the actor with promoting whatever sh–ty thing they’re promoting.

It’s a two way-street.
