Bill Hader Revealed The Reason He Was Once Fired On The Spot From A Movie Theater, And People Think It's Both 'Petty' And 'Completely Valid'
See, long before he was a world-famous comedian and actor, Bill actually worked at a movie theater. He ended up getting fired for spoiling the ending of a super iconic film to a group of girls — and his reasoning is cracking people up.
'I got fired from a movie theater for ruining the end of Titanic,' he recalled. 'I was working in a movie theater, and Titanic hadn't come out yet, and a sorority had bought out the movie theater and they were in the doorway.'
'I was going, 'Hey, guys. Can you guys move?' They were making fun of me. They said I looked like Charles Manson. Which I kinda did. I had a little bowtie on and a cummerbund, and I was like, 'Hey guys, please move.' And they were like, 'No,'' he shared.

And so, Bill decided that he was going to share the ending of Titanic with the girls who made fun of him. Spoilers ahead.
'So when they went in, as I tore the tickets, I was like, 'Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies,'' he said. 'And they were like, 'No, he doesn't.' I go, 'Yeah, you think he's asleep. But he's frozen.' And that showed them.'
'The [manager] came down smiling, and he was like, 'Hey, Bill. I have to fire you.' He loved it. Couldn't look me in the eye, though,' he concluded.
Bill's retelling of the story has since garnered a heap of attention online, with several people agreeing that they feel he was 'completely valid' for spoiling the Titanic ending.
'This is the best pettiest revenge I've ever seen,' one person wrote. 'This is completely valid honestly,' said another.
'I love him for this,' a third user added, while someone else said: 'He really did nothing wrong, IMO.'

Netflix's ‘One Piece' Crew Rallies Around Charithra Chandran After Racist Backlash
With One Piece season two sailing onto Netflix next year, the latest teaser surprised fans with exciting looks at what's to come for the Straw Hats. In their journey to the Grand Line, they're set to encounter more friends and foes. One of the new faces in the cast is Charithra Chandran as Nefertari Vivi, also known in the long-running manga and anime as Miss Wednesday. The character in the comics is depicted as a light-skinned Egyptian woman, and a loud minority of racist One Piece nerds are criticizing Chandran's casting because the actor has darker skin. Because of course, they are mad at that being a plausible thing in a universe where a man can stretch his skin or a talking reindeer can be a medical professional. In response actress Emily Rudd, who plays Nami, shared on her Instagram stories, 'Perceived 'canon' does not excuse blatant racism or hate of any kind. I am beyond proud of our show, our cast, and the opportunity we have to bring to life a story centered around a diverse found family—by an equally diverse found family.' Rudd also shared a lengthy post from co-star Rob Colletti (who will debut as Wapol in season two): As Colletti points out, 'Charithra was hand-selected by [One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda], and he has far more knowledge and understanding of his own characters than anyone else, particularly the hateful, unimaginative creeps who actually have the audacity to get on the internet to throw hate speech towards an actor without even seeing their absolutely amazing performance on the show.'
