Fred Willard was caught with his pants down in an adult movie theater in Hollywood, which we can only deduce, thanks to the magic of logic, that he was probably pleasuring himself. The 72-year-old actor best know for roles in “Anchorman” and “Spinal Tap” not only found himself in trouble with the law, but he also became a trending topic on Thursday after the news broke.
Reuters reported that he had been booked for “lewd conduct” and was later released. The incident occurred on Wednesday night, and TMZ, in full celebrity gotcha mode, reported that the Tiki Theater was the place were the act took place; they also managed to find out that there were three films on rotation during the incident. No word on which one caused the arrest.
On Thursday, Williard became the target of countless jokes on Twitter, many of which we’ve gathered here for your reading pleasure.
Dear Fred Willard, there are some amazing websites I need to tell you about. All from the comfort of your own home.
