Michael Madsen was rushed to hospital this past weekend, after staff at a top London hotel became concerned for his mental health following fits of screaming and shouting from his room.

The actor, best known for his role as psychopath Mr Blonde in Resevoir Dogs, had been staying at the Dorchester hotel and checked in on Saturday with a woman believed to be his wife and his five-year old daughter.

A source told The Sun about the unnerving incident: “He was apparently totally out of it when he turned up. Then on Sunday afternoon there was a massive disturbance in his room.

“A guest complained that all hell was breaking lose. There was a lot of screaming and shouting and staff called the police. He had a furious row with his woman companion and it was feared they might hurt each other. An ambulance was called because of concerns for his mental health.

“Madsen looked wild-eyed and had lost the plot. He was not violent, but there were serious concerns about his behaviour.”
