Renowned actor Steve Buscemi proved that his bravery extends beyond the big screen. During a recent trip to Ireland, Buscemi found himself in an unexpected situation when he witnessed a fight outside a local pub.
According to reports from the Irish Independent, the producer also broke up a fight that took place outside the place identified as Bubba’s Fish Market, the altercation quickly began to escalate, but Buscemi’s intervention helped calm things down.
Although Buscemi has not made any statement about what happened, a diner told the Irish newspaper how the famous actor intervened, stating that the actor did not hesitate to intervene to separate those involved and prevent the situation from becoming even more violent.
“Steve Buscemi was standing there, unnoticed. He was very close and he held back from throwing punches. He stood next to a guy on the ground for a few seconds and naturally the fight broke up after that,” said the man identified as Oisín Heavey.
According to the subject’s anecdote, the actor finished his meal and left the place, however, he stopped when he saw the crowd outside the pub and the altercation.
“We could see there were a lot of people outside, looking in the direction he had gone, so we assumed they had recognised him. When we came out, there was a brutal fight going on and that was what everyone was actually watching. Some people said he had broken up the fight by punching, but he didn’t. He tried to help, which is more than most people would do,” Heavey recalled.
Regarding his treatment of those present, the diner highlighted that the star was kind and at first no one else had recognized him.
“He was very nice, friendly and engaging. He looked me in the eye and spoke to me properly. I just wanted to tell him that he is not a representation of Ireland and I hope he enjoys his trip. No one at my table recognised him except me – I am a big film buff so I recognised him straight away. We were having dinner and he was at the table next to us for 90 minutes,” she said.
This act of bravery and humanity has been widely praised by locals and fans of the actor alike, who have expressed their admiration for the way Steve Buscemi handled the situation. Although the incident was brief, it left a lasting impression on all involved and served as a reminder that true nobility is found in our everyday actions.
