Cuba Gooding Jr. Saved some dude’s life last week. The 39-year-old actor was outside Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘n’ Waffles in L.A. when he heard four gunshots. According to a source:
“Cuba was picking up dinner for his family on the night of Memorial Day. He saw a young kid holding his head and walked toward him. The kid was bleeding from his neck and collapsed.”
Gooding cradled the victim, described as a man around 20 years old, and called into the restaurant for towels. “They came out with paper towels and he said, ‘No, we need real towels!’” says the source. The actor stemmed the bleeding and hailed a passing police car. He waited on the scene until an ambulance arrived. (Source)
What the hell is Cuba Gooding Jr. doing outside of a Roscoe’s anyway?! After I won my first Oscar, I vowed to never spend less than $100 on a meal again. Breakfast is kinda tough–I usually just order a plate of pancakes and leave a $95 dollar tip. Which sucks because I’m in massive debt. My kids are always bitching about me dipping into their “college savings accounts.” Damn freeloaders. Learn a trade.
P.S. Doesn’t this story sound a little familiar. Wait a second … wasn’t this the exact same scene from Boyz N the Hood? Except for fried chicken, the guy that was shot was holding milk! Another example of life imitating art … Tupac would be proud.
