With Benicio del Toro sitting nearby, a London banker racked up over $60,000 in charges at a London pub in what was an apparent attempt to either show up or look good in front of the actor. Chances are, though, that Benicio del Toro couldn't have cared less about the man, his bill or will ever think of him again, making the scenario even more hilarious.

An energy commodities trader, whose identity is unknown, spent over $60,000 at a private club in west London on Nov. 1, according to the Sun.
