7 Attempted Assassinations Of Famous People
Famous people always have something that we find in common, and they often inspire us with passion for doing better things. However, not all of us are motivated in the same way. Sometimes, we find that it is normal to just express love to them, but other crazy fans would choose another way to reveal their emotions. Worst of all, some start stalking, preying upon their idols, and even attempted to murder them. Below is the list of 7 cases.
It appears that the attacker's girlfriend's comment that Zappa was cute caused him to lose his cool, which is a situation that might have been improved with some rigorous mustache growing.
However, you could probably reach the "frequent sitcom guest star" tier of celebrities before landing on Russell Crowe. The FBI acknowledged the threat was real despite the fact that Crowe is not even American, which is just one of the story's absurd details.
They "opened fire when he got off the plane," according to Chan, and he had to start packing heat when they "surrounded him with knives at a Hong Kong restaurant" later. He claims that he "confronted them with two weapons and six grenades," in actuality.
It might seem unlikely that 20 criminals brandishing knives could attack a well-known actor in public without that being a much bigger issue, but are you really going to question Jackie Chan?
The man, who had only intended to play some music, began to receive death threats from the opposition right away. Two days before the event, three armed intruders also shot him. Bob lived, though, only to die 5 years later, of skin cancer.
The most well-known attempt at celebrity assassination was perhaps the shooting of Andy Warhol on June 3, 1968, by author Valerie Solanas, who believed Warhol had stolen her book and later endured the humiliation of being played by Lena Dunham.
She died 20 years after Warhol, having presumably lived just long enough to see the work through, after serving a short sentence for assault.
