Nick Nolte Crashes in Hawaiian Airport

Posted Jul 19th 2007 2:55PM by TMZ Staff

Dripping in sweat and barely able to keep his bloodshot eyes open, a handlebar-mustached Nick Nolte stunned travelers at the Kauai Airport this week -- by passing out cold on the terminal floor!

TMZ obtained these photos taken by one of Nolte's fellow passengers, who told us 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."

Calls to Nolte's rep were not immediately returned.

47. It's sad that this is what our country has come too. We take delight in someone else's misery. Instead of stepping up and trying to get him some help, we sit back and laugh at him on a website. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

50. Poor thing. From the looks of it he seems, at the very least, like a nice drunk --- sort of like David Hasselhoff. I feel so bad for nice alcoholics, but have no sympathy for the mean ones. I wonder why he was all alone at the airport......

51. The toughest thing about killing time in that particular airport, believe me, is NOT drinking til you pass out.

55. this is not funny at all , he could be so much more, i hate to see people laughing at a drunk on the floor because i used to have some in my family doing that and it wasnt one bit funny . i hope he gets some help. imagine little kids having to see that . . yuck , im sure he smelled real good to sit next on the plane also . but i guess in this country its funny to see a celebrity fall on their faces then we dont feel so bad about ourselves

57. No Phia, you're not wrong! It was Gary Busey and not Nick Nolte who was on Fit Club. I never thought about it before but I guess those two could be mistaken for one another!

58. He needs a serious intervention and rehab before he wakes up dead some day! Poor guy seems alone in this world. Has he no friends or family?

60. I find it all terribly sad, not just Nick Nolte, but the millions of people who have destroyed their lives, families, careers, and so much more because they cannot conquer their addictions. When people are this sick, everyone in their midst is affected. I don't know why so many of these posts have "LOL" in them. What the hell is funny?
