If you’re going to plead “insanity” in court to get off some pretty serious charges, you really have to commit to the role.
So move over Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn, because American armed robber Andrew Gilbertson has raised the bar in terms of method acting after eating his own shit while giving evidence in court. Now that’s commitment.
If he isn’t insane, he should at least get an Oscar.
And, just to make sure there’s no doubt he’s a fruit-loop, Gilbertson claims the real offender was the Virgin Mary, who told him to commit the crime in San Luis Obispo, California. Apparently she was also the one who told him to consume his own poo. In his defence, the Virgin Mary did give birth in a stable, so we know she’s not exactly a fan of hygiene.
