Never Ask Vinnie Jones About Juggernaut

vinniejones-juggernautBad boy ex-footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones was arrested Thursday night after a bar fight in South Dakota. ArgusLeader.com reports that Jones was in a bar in Sioux Falls when he suddenly started a brawl with a group of young guys.

The cause of the ruckus? Someone mentioned X-Men: The Last Stand to him. Oh, snap!

Juan Barrera, 24, said his roommates were playing pool when Jones approached and asked to play. He said Jesse Bickett, 24, of Montrose told Jones he'd have to wait.

That's when one of Barrera's roommates asked Jones whether he was "that guy from X-Men."

"He got offended by that, and he started pushing my other friends around. He said he's been in so many other movies or whatever," Barrera said.

Jones attacked the boys and Bickett smashed a beer glass on Jones' face, apparently in self-defense. The bloodied Jones then started attacking people:

"His whole face was covered in blood," Barrera said.

"I just walked out the restroom, didn't say a word to him ... and he struck me in the mouth."

The police later arrested Jones at the hospital.

Honestly, can you blame the poor bastard? Having starred in so many films, some of them actually critically-acclaimed, and then to be remembered in such an embarrassing role in one of the worst comic book movies... A glass to the face wouldn't stop the rage.

Okay, so he was being a dick, but come on. It's Vinnie Jones, what did you expect? He's the Juggernaut, bitch.
