Shortly after the roaring world premiere of Road House at SXSW, a guest at the screening became dehydrated and passed out at Austin’s Paramount Theatre. The movie’s star Conor McGregor stayed behind to help get the guy back on his feet. Deadline was on the scene and witnessed. Before the EMT arrived, the gentleman was drinking water, with a towel on his head with McGregor sitting next to him.
McGregor yelled at those around him about the gravity of the situation. We hear the person who passed out was given the proper nutrition, is back on his feet with the EMT already departed.
Amid the chaos, festival ushers demanded that patrons depart the Paramount asap so that they could turn the theater over for the 9:30PM screening of Netflix’s 3 Body Problem.
Deadline is out to the festival for an official statement and more details.
