Gene Hackman found himself in trouble with law this week after slapping a homeless man in New Mexico. However, no charges will be filed since the police found he was acting in self-defense for both his wife and himself. Apparently the homeless man assaulted Gene's wife and called her a foul name. I don't condone physical violence, but way to stand up for your spouse, Gene! Gives me hope chivalry isn't entirely dead.
Gene Hackman proved he can act tough in real life as well as on screen on Tuesday, slapping a homeless man who threatened his wife.
The 82-year-old Oscar-winning actor was with his wife Betsy Arakawa in downtown Santa Fe, N.M. around 1:30p.m. on Tuesday afternoon when a homeless man approached them menacingly, according to police.
