Dennis Quaid’s Likely Fake Tantrum
TMZ breathlessly declares: “Dennis Quaid went absolutely berserk on the set of a movie.” Video (language warning):
“Dopey the Dick,” you say? Kind of hard not to think of this:
Consensus is that this time, it’s not Ellen calling the shots, but probably Jimmy Kimmel.
TMZ does cover its posterior a bit, conceding at the end of the post: “It’s possible the whole thing is fake … he’s an actor, after all.” And as Fox News drolly observes:
It’s not clear when the video was taken, and according to the International Movie Database, Quaid currently does not have any movies in production.
You don’t say.
UPDATE: And the reveal. H/t Gazzer. Don’t blame Jimmy Kimmel. Credit goes to Funny or Die.

elissa (a89aed) — 4/14/2015 @ 9:35 pmGiven the rants that his brother Randy has posted on the Internet, I doubt that Dennis would agree to anything fake. He wouldn’t want people to think that he’s going crazy like his brother or give people any cause to recall that they are related.
The Ellen video was from 2008, before Randy fled to Canada.

The behind-the-scenes reveal is hilarious, too. Great prank.
