Christopher Plummer told PageSix a sex story so bizarrely hilarious that we were forced to lift our own ban on linking to the New York Post to share it with you...
The movie star has a new autobiography out in which, according to the gossip rag we love to hate, he tells the following story about gearing up to play Henry V on stage in 1956, a role for which William Shatner was the understudy. (Note that just before the excerpt begins, Plummer has just had a wild one night stand with an unnamed woman...)
"I woke up alone the next morning... (pain) all around my groin and
lower abdomen... I started to whimper like a whipped dog. 'So this is
what syphilis is like?' I thought. 'I suppose I deserve it, but Christ,
how the hell was I to know?'
But instead of being struck down by
the disease, Plummer had dislodged a kidney stone and had to undergo a
medical procedure with a surgical wire to resolve the problem.
He
adds, "It began to sink in... Shatner, my understudy, would have to go
on... (It) instantly brought back the pain. I screamed for a nurse who
jabbed me with more morphine.
"I knew then that the S.O.B. was going to be a 'star.'" [WENN-- see, we avoided the Post]
Ooh, scandalous! It almost would make more sense of Plummer had contracted syphillis because it would explain his insane assertion that William Shatner became famous for a 1950s stage play by Billy Shakes. Everybody knows it was his rockin' version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."
Right?
