Nick Nolte Falling Down Drunk in Hawaii

Nick Nolte was at the Kauai Airport this week having a little trouble staying awake. Here’s more:

These photos taken by one of Nolte’s fellow passengers, who told TMZ that the incoherent actor drifted in and out of consciousness on the airport floor for more than two hours Monday night, after their flight was delayed because of engine problems.

According to the source, Nolte was still extremely friendly despite his groggy state — chatting with fans and allowing passengers to snap photos, however, he wasn’t entirely functional. "At one point we helped him put a dollar in the vending machine."

What’s wrong with a harmless and homeless looking drunk drooling and rolling around on the floor of the airport waiting area passing the time while his plane gets fixed? It’s not like Nick was flying the plane, and it’s hard to imagine how he drove himself to the airport. I’m not even sure he was getting on the plane at all. Maybe he just wandered into the airport so he could get a snack from the vending machine. Normally Nick is laying in the gutter next to his mansion, peeing on his neighbor’s flowers, and puking in the sandbox at the kiddy park. I’d say this was a pretty good day for Nick.
