Dennehy, Day 11

Great Badass Moments in the life of Brian Dennehy:
  • Challenges Huey Lewis to a steel cage death match. Lewis declines and then pens "If this is it".
  • Gives Wilford Brimley diabetes on principle with a hard Dennehy-stare during 1985 filming of "Cocoon".
  • Barrel-chests through a brick wall to steal some Magnolia cupcakes. Police let him go after realizing, "Hey, this is Brian f*cking Dennehy!"
  • Attempts to go on NBC's Biggest Loser, but is rejected because "It's not fat. You are just barrel-chested."
  • NYC traffic literally stops as a video of Dennehy with a mustache is played on a billboard in Times Square. Days later Tom Selleck decides to grow a mustache for Magnum P.I.
  • Dennehy has sex with Steve Guttenberg's wife and mistress on the set of Cocoon. Asked why he ruined a marriage, an affair, and a friendship, Dennehy replied, "Because I'm Brian f*ckin' Dennehy!"
  • Kicked off the cast of "Over the Top" after breaking Frank Stallone's arm in an arm wrestling match.
  • Kicked off of "Cliffhanger" for mocking Frank Stallone until Sylvester Stallone cried and pigged out on ice cream.
  • Gets out of speeding ticket (150mph in a school zone) by telling cop, "I'm Brian Dennehy. I don't even obey the laws of gravity." After which he preceded to fly to local Dairy Queen and purchase cones for seniors and children. Then fly back to his car and drove 180mph through the school zone.
  • Got a kitten down from a tree by barrel-chesting it (the tree, not the cat; Dennehy loves animals).
  • Got a kitten off a roof by shining moonbeams off his silver hair.
  • Drank a case of beer while running a marathon and winning by...you guessed...his barrel-chest.
