According to the good folks over at Yahoo News, Rob Schneider collapsed on set of his new film “Big Stan”. According to the news:
Rob Schneider was taken to a Northern California hospital after collapsing from food poisoning and heat exhaustion during the filming of an upcoming movie.
“The combination of bad food and the heat just hit him,” said his publicist, Shara Koplowitz. She did not know what he ate but said he was treated at San Joaquin General Hospital and released Wednesday.
It’s good to hear he was well enough to be released the next day. It’s no secret that I hate Rob Schneider as a performer. He’s an “R” rated performer who targets his “R” rated material at 10 year old kids. However, from all accounts (aside form being stupid sometimes) he sounds like he’s a decent guy and no one wants to hear about others suffering health problems… even if they are actors you don’t like.
However, after feeling relieved that Schneider was ok… I kept reading the article and discovered the synopsis of what this next film he’s working on is about… and the fact that HE HIMSELF IS DIRECTING IT:
Schneider, who recently starred in “The Benchwarmers” and “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo,” is directing the new movie in which he plays Big Stan, a con man locked up on fraud charges who learns kung fu to defend himself against other inmates.
I wish for the sake of all of us that when he was in the hospital they put him into an induced comma and spared us from this. Ok ok.. I am glad Schneider is ok… seriously. I just wish he’d take up another profession.
