White Lotus Star Theo James Once Had a Bottle of Urine Thrown at Him
View Date:2024-12-23 11:54:02
Theo James would not rate this experience five stars.
The White Lotus star recently took a walk down memory lane to the ups and downs of his life as an aspiring musician prior to making it big in acting—including one especially traumatizing experience.
"I wanted to be a rockstar," he told Kelly Clarkson during a June 13 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. "I played in hundreds of gigs, I was in various different bands, most of them terrible."
He added of one particular gig, "When I was playing in a band I had a bottle of urine threw at me, which was nice. At that point I was like, 'Maybe I should try something else.'"
And when the American Idol alum naturally asked Theo what led to the gross moment, the Divergent star said he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"It was a strange, sweaty, horrible gig," he explained. "I think the act before us were late and everyone was kind of inebriated and angry and someone decided that the best way to deal with that was pee in a bottle and throw it at someone's face."
But according to Theo, that was only one of many not ideal moments he experienced onstage—another being an unfortunate injury that forced him to take a moment off stage.
"I've had lots of things go wrong," he added. "I had my foot crushed in a moving piece of equipment on stage once, I was looking in the wrong direction and this roller thing just crushed my entire foot."
Yet, as unlikely as it sounds, Theo is only one of many musicians who has had something thrown at them onstage, to varying degrees of severity and weirdness.
Take Pink, for example, who last year had both a wheel of brie and a bag of ashes thrown to her onstage. Meanwhile, Bebe Rexha and Kelsea Ballerini were both struck in the face by objects thrown at them while performing, with Bebe getting a black eye from the cell phone that was thrown at her.
For a complete roundup of musicians who have had to dodge objects onstage, keep reading.
The Jonas Brothers member had to send out an S.O.S and ask fans to stop throwing things on stage after two bracelets almost hit him at a California stop on the group's tour.
In case it wasn't clear, Cardi B does not like it like that. When a front row patron splashed their drink on the performer mid-set at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas July 29, she responded by throwing her microphone.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that an unidentified woman reported a battery case the day after the concert, but noted no arrest or citations have been issued. On Aug. 3, Cardi's lawyers told TMZ that police informed them no chargers would be filed against the singer.
Baby, Bebe Rexha is gonna have the best f--kin' night of her life no matter what happens. Struck in the face when a man at her June show in NYC threw a phone, she later posted a photo of her injured eye, writing, "Im good."
Todd A Spodek, a lawyer for Nicolas Malvagna, who was arrested and charged with assault, told TMZ, "As a fan, Mr. Malvagna's sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa."
Kelsea Ballerini didn't find it all that charming when someone tossed jewelry up on stage during a June performance in Idaho. "Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eyes," she wrote on Instagram Stories days later, "and it more so just scared me than hurt me."
Listen, she's not that sweet. Ava Max had words for the man who assaulted her during an L.A. performance this past June. "He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye," the "Sweet but Psycho" singer wrote on Twitter. "He's never coming to a show again."
Pink thought the fan who randomly passed her a wheel of Brie while she was singing at at the British Summer Time Festival in London this past June was kinda grate. "What the f--k," the musician said, as she reached for the dairy. "I wanna kiss you on the mouth."
But just give us a reason for why another fan tossed a bag of ashes the very next day. "This is your mom?" the "What About Us" singer asked. "I don't know how to feel about this."
A sign of the times? Harry Styles had to get away from numerous flying objects during his recently wrapped Love on Tour, including, inexplicably, a handful of Skittles at a 2022 show in Los Angeles. A rep for the taste the rainbow brand later tweeted, "Didn't think I needed to say this: Please don't throw Skittles."
What a boob. As Billie Eilish sang "Lost Cause" at a February 2022 show, one fan tossed a set of false boobs at her. But proving that she's, uh, breast under pressure, the seven-time Grammy winner flung them back into the crowd and kept going.
Uh, guys, he warned you. Moments after Kid Cudi told the crowd at his 2022 Rolling Loud set, "Yo, I'm going to walk off this stage, if y'all throw one more f--king thing up here, I will leave," he was pegged with yet another object. So he left.
Arianators were left feeling sour after Ariana Grande was beaned with a lemon while headlining Coachella in 2019. And though the singer was definitely not so into it, into it, into it, she brushed off the fruit, telling the crowd, "One of ya'll threw a lemon at me, s--t."
