Peter Falk Flips Out?





He's trippin'! (image via thisislondon)

Don't know if this is a hoax or not (and frankly we are hoping it is), but Peter Falk, best known for playing "Columbo," among other iconic roles, reportedly acted pretty motherfucking erratic in Beverly Hills. Please don't tell The Corsair that a guy with his cred is disintegrating right before our eyes. Tell us, rather, that this is deep-cover, this is some serious form of "Method acting" as research for a new role. From Thisislondon:

"The 80-year-old former Columbo star looked dazed and confused as he walked near his Beverly Hills home on Tuesday afternoon.

"The two-time Oscar nominee was spotted waving his arms in the air and muttering to himself. He looked almost as dishevelled as the famous character he played in the 1970s detective programme.

"Another passer-by, who refused to be named, said the star looked to be disorientated.

"Someone eventually called police, but when officers arrived on the scene Falk convinced them that he didn't need help."

We hope this is nothing serious. Falk was, we cannot fail to note, wholly magnificent in Wings of Desire.
