Connolly Tickled By Busey's "Entourage" Cameo
8 July 2009 9:11 AM, PDT
"Entourage" star Kevin Connolly is still shuddering after a strange day on set with guest star Gary Busey - because the veteran actor kept trying to tickle him in between takes.
Connolly admits he was warned about the 65 year old's "unique" reputation before the actor joined the hit U.S. TV drama for a cameo in 2007.
And the actor still can't shake the humiliating memory of Busey pinning him down in front of cast and crew to tickle him on set.
He remembers, "He's looking at me... and he's like, 'Kevin, you and I are going to play a game called tickle and pee.' I said, 'Gary, please, I'm 33 years old. It's emasculating.'
"He's chasing me around on the set. I'm running away from Gary Busey on my set and Gary Busey is freakishly strong. He caught me ultimately and he tickled me. I felt like I was in fifth grade again."
