Eastbound and Down star Danny McBride has pretty much rocketed to the A-list in the last few years. Between his HBO series, Pineapple Express, and the upcoming Your Highness, the guy has managed to become one of the go-to guys for irreverent comedies.

Not because he was drunk, mind you, but because the dude was so overcome by college-aged fans that a bike cop thought a riot might break out. Not that we're too surprised to read this; in the Complex cover story this month, McBride relays a similar tale.
"Yeah, it was nuts," McBride said of a recent trip to a college campus. "Then the uprising in Egypt started. I’m not gonna say it was connected, but sometimes you have to shut off the Internet and squash those rumors."
