Hollywood Bear From Semi-Pro Kills His Trainer

It’s not uncommon for Hollywood luminaries to turn on the people who made them. Tom Cruise famously fired his agents a couple of years back, and Orson Welles was long rumored to dredge his leading ladies in buttermilk and breadcrumbs, then deep-fry them for a tasty snack. But it’s been a long time since someone let fame get to their head like Rocky, the grizzly bear from Semi-Pro, who killed his trainer yesterday in California with a bite to the neck.

Rocky, who another trainer had recently dubbed “the best working bear in the business” (not counting Kevin Smith, we’re sure), was subdued with pepper spray and contained. His fate now rests in the hands of the San Bernardino County Animal Care and Control Program. After the jump, you can see poor bloodthirsty Rocky in happier times, wrestling Will Ferrell and plotting his ursine revolt in a training video.
