Fred Willard tells "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon his side of his recent adult theater arrest.
By Ree Hines
Actor-comedian Fred Willard wants to set the record straight following his July 18 arrest for suspicion of engaging in a lewd act at an adult movie theater. According to the "Best in Show" star, it?s all a big misunderstanding.
Willard visited "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday night and started with an ice-breaker before moving on to the serious stuff.
"You know, let me say this: It's the last time I'm going to listen to my wife when she says, 'Why don't you go out and see a movie?' " Willard joked.
As for the movie in question, well, Willard insists he didn?t exactly plan that excursion.
"The whole adult theater thing -- I thought they were gone!" he said. "And I see this one, it has such a Polynesian, exotic look to it. I said, 'Maybe there?s hula dancers in here. Maybe there?s mai tais.' I went in, and I realized I was the only one awake and sober and conscious. ... It was like a trip down Alice in Wonderland -- down the rabbit hole."
And just as innocent, as far as he?s concerned.
"It?s embarrassing as hell, but let me say this: Nothing happened," Willard explained. "I did nothing wrong. Everything?s being sorted out as we speak."
The actor admitted that though he?s ?tried to laugh it off,? it?s been a painful ordeal for him. And from his recollection of the outing, it definitely wasn?t worth it.
"My summary of the whole evening was: It?s an interesting theater, a boring movie and a great place to take a nap."
