"France's Europe-1 radio aired an interview with (a) passenger, identified only by her first name Daniele, saying that Depardieu appeared inebriated and announced 'I need to piss, I need to piss.'" Associated Press (AP) writes.
AP adds "The passenger said when the cabin crew told him to remain seated during takeoff, "he stood up and did it (urinated) on the ground."
An airline spokesperson reportedly has confirmed the incident but did not name the passenger for privacy issues. The flight was delayed for about two hours because of the incident, according to AP.
