The New York Post reports that actor Kiefer Sutherland shocked staffers at Ye Rustic Inn in Los Feliz, California, the other morning when he turned up to the bar around 9 a.m.


He was demanding to start a tab, reports Steppin' Out magazine. Editor Chaunce Hayden says the normally thick-waisted Sutherland looked "rail-thin" when he entered the tiny dive bar with a group of noisy friends and ordered a round of drinks.


According to witnesses, when presented with the bill, Sutherland claimed his wallet was "indisposed" - "It's been stolen! I promise I'll come back and pay." he said. At that point, things got weird. "He started to go into a series of karate kicks in the middle of the floor while the bartender, waitress and several customers looked on," Hayden reports.


Thankfully, a star-struck fan agreed to buy him several J&B's on the rocks. After devouring a plate of chicken wings and littering the floor with bones, the star left without tipping. What a classy guy, huh.


Sutherland, it turns out, was winding down from a very long night at the Drawing Room across the street. A rep for Sutherland did not respond to a call for comment.
