Justin Theroux wants some [bleep] bacon jalapeno mac and cheese too!
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, the Leftovers actor joked he had bought the rights to turn an "amazing" viral video featuring a drunk college student demanding mac and cheese at a dining hall into a movie, Mad Mac. Tagline: "Hunger is no game."
The "trailer" was then screened on the show. It spoofs the story of Luke Gatti, a 19-year-old UConn student, who was arrested on Oct. 4 on campus after showing up drunk at a dining hall and getting into a verbal and physical confrontation with a manager, as seen in a nine-minute expletive-laden video posted on YouTube.
Gatti had asked to buy "some f--king bacon jalapeno mac and cheese." The manager refused to give him service, saying the teen had brought "an open bottle of booze" with him.
In the video, Theroux plays Gatti and Anchorman actor David Koechner plays the manager and Jimmy Kimmel himself also stars, in a surprising role.
"We've got a code for 'drunk and stupid,' over at the student union," a police dispatcher says.
Gatti was charged with two misdemeanors—first-degree criminal trespass and second-degree breach of peace.
A week after the arrest, Gatti posted an apology video on YouTube, titled, "Drunk UConn Student Apology Mac and Cheese." He admitted that during the incident, he was "very intoxicated," and said he is ashamed of himself.
