Captain Sully -- Master of the Fame Game

Posted Oct 1st 2009 12:03PM by TMZ Staff

Sully Sullenberger's life is prime for a movie adaption -- but dude definitely hasn't gone Hollywood.

Despite heaps of praise, a book deal and a whole lotta national attention ... during a press conference today, when he was asked how things have changed since he pulled off the Miracle on the Hudson, he replied "hardly at all."

Sulllllllllllllyyyyyyy pulled off his first flight back in the cockpit today -- without any interference from geese.

5. Mr/Miss/Tranny "who cares," what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

8. This man is a real hero! Actors, athletes and singers are not heros, but people worship them like they are! Lets get real! Doctors, firemen and police also fall into the hero catagory. If you were hit by a train...would it do you any good for Kanye to sing you a song real quick? Or maby Brad Pitt to do a scene from Thelma & Louise? NO!

9. They post SULLLLYYYYYYYY because they did a video clip of him and they made a song and screamed his name. It was hilarious.
