Penelope Cruz is rumored to have had a panic attack causing her to get off a flight that was ready to take-off according to the Daily Mail. At first everything seemed fine, but when her plane was getting ready to take off to Barcelona she freaked out.
But as the plane started taxi-ing onto the runway, she became agitated, according to fellow passengers.
After a brief conversation between Cruz and a flight attendant, the aircraft returned to the departure gate and she disembarked.
To the consternation of others on the flight, all the luggage was removed from the hold and placed on the runway in driving rain while airport staff searched for the actress's suitcases.
One passenger said: "She was freaking out and refused to fly."
Her publicist tells a different story, "There was no panic attack", she said. "The airline let her know there was going to be a three or four hour delay due to the storm. She had work so she figured she'd deplane and fly when the storm had passed." For some reason I am siding with the passengers on this one. I don't understand why these celebs think they just get there way whenever they want. A few weeks Britney Spears did the same thing. If these stars can't handle flying commercial, then let them organize their own airline and stay off ours. I think the FAA should start fining these celebs everytime they beg to get off after the plane has closed their doors and begins to taxi, don't you think?
