Chevy Chase gets into roadside fight with young drivers who had to look up who he was

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/02/22/chevy-chase-gets-into-roadside-fight-with-young-drivers-who-had-to-look-up-who-was.html

A Long Island man said he kicked Chevy Chase in self-defense on an upstate highway when the unhinged actor lunged at him and warned, “I am going to ruin your lives!”

Michael Landrio, 22, a UPS worker from East Patchogue, told The Post that he and his girlfriend and another couple were headed north to go snowmobiling Feb. 9 when a blue Mercedes flashed its lights at them and pulled next to them at the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.

“We were in the right lane and as we came up to the bridge we went to the middle lane,” he said in his parents’ home in Suffolk County. “It was an old guy yelling – something we couldn’t hear – super pissed-off. … We just tried to get the heck away from him. He followed us the whole length of the bridge, driving crazy.”

Landrio said the pursuing driver weaved in and out of traffic until they pulled over in South Nyack in Rockland County after crossing the span.

“My friend opened his window and just said, ‘I apologize, we were just trying to go upstate,’” he said, adding that the Mercedes blocked their vehicle.

“You know who the f— I am?” Landrio said Chase screamed. “Then he started cursing at me for no reason and said, ‘I am going to ruin your lives!’ I said, ‘F— you!’

Then he yanks open their car door and yells, ‘I’m going to punch you in the nose’ and he came after me and had his hands in my face,” he continued. “I said, ‘Get the f— away from me!’”

Landrio said Chase — who at this point was inside Landrio’s car attacking him — threw a punch that missed. Landrio said he then kicked the out-of-control Chase, sending him flying out of the car, into his Mercedes and onto the ground.

“I closed my car door and locked it but he was still trying to get in at me when a nurse and an off-duty cop escorted him away,” Landrio said.

“I didn’t know who he was — I was just trying to defend myself. He was physically trying to harm me,” he said, adding that the cop told him his attacker was none other than Chevy Chase of “Saturday Night Live” and “Caddyshack” fame.

“I looked him up on Google and I still didn’t know who he was,” he said. “He didn’t look like he looked when he made his movies.”

Landrio, who wants to pursue a career in law enforcement, noted that Chase stands 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 240 pounds, while he is just 5-foot-11 and weighs 155 pounds.

The suspect was slapped with a count of second-degree harassment.

 
Kids today. How can you not know who Chevy is? Smh.

Also dumb for not driving around with your doors locked in the first place & why would you stop & then roll down the window to engage some nut that is following you? Moron. Keep driving while calling the police.

 
As much coke as he did in the 70s/80s I'm surprised he's still alive.  So if he wants to be a grumpy/crazy old man, good for him.

I don't like the implication that there's a minimum cocaine threshold one must cross in order to be entitled to be a crazy, grumpy old man. I mean I probably crossed it, but still. The right to be crazy and grumpy is one of the few things to look forward to about aging.

 
I've heard Chase is not a friendly guy. On the other hand, this story seems like it's probably not exactly the whole truth.
My feeling as well when reading this.  Something tells me it wasn't as simple as, “We were in the right lane and as we came up to the bridge we went to the middle lane.”

Joel McHale on Chevy.

“On ‘Community,’ I was the tall, sarcastic, and — OK, I’ll say it — stunningly good-looking guy. Let’s face it: I had been cast in the classic ‘Chevy Chase’ role,” McHale wrote.

“This was probably very difficult for Chevy to come to grips with.”

McHale says Chase was always trying to roughhouse with him off-camera, but what he really wanted was a fight. One day, while filming a mock scuffle, Chase kept demanding that McHale hit him harder.

To shut him up, McHale delivered a left jab. Chase ended up in the hospital with a dislocated shoulder. He was, after all, close to 70 years old.

(In the book, McHale provides an illustrated guide to bringing Chevy Chase down should he attack.)

He's 70 years old and hasn't done anything major in decades. Younger people have zero reason to know who he is or even care. 


If you are of driving age and have never seen Vacation or Christmas vacation then your parents have failed you. 

My kids are 16 and 19 and both know who Chevy Chase is.  (they both have watched and love Community as well so would even recognize "old Chevy"

Community wasn't that long ago. Like I said, kids today have no idea wtf is going on & have they have no respect for the things/people that paved the way for the garbage they now enjoy. I'm not even old. I'm in my 30s.

Great schtick

And if you're not into comedies/network tv you still wouldn't know he is was.

There are plenty of people acting today that are allegedly popular and I have no clue

Those movies came out almost 30 years ago. No way kids should recognize some actor they've maybe seen a small handful of times when he looked decades younger. Community was a fun show but it was hardly at the level of Friends or Seinfeld. A lot of people never saw it. 

And gtfo with you geezers saying kids have no respect or appreciation for older talent and shows today are all garbage. :lmao:

Lol what the hell are you talking about? :lmao:  

Also, Chevy Chase when he shot Christmas Vacation in 1989 looks nothing like the bloated lunatic that he is now.

So if you're no fun & have no personality/an idiot you won't know him. Got it
