KIEFER SUTHERLAND HAS A FEAR OF BEING IDLE

The first thing we noticed about this photo of Kiefer Sutherland at LAX is the suitcase in his hand – it’s a bit of a relic – heavy leather and no wheels. The beat-up cowboy boots are a clue to where he’s going. Kiefer is spending every minute he’s not acting singing country western music with his band. Coronavirus notwithstanding, he’s on his way to Zurich where he’s performing for a week starting Friday night. We imagine that whiskey and cigarettes cough of his might alarm a few people on his fight.

KIEFER IS HOLLYWOOD’S DESIGNATED SURVIVOR

The title “Designated Survivor“ applies perfectly to the series star Kiefer Sutherland, 52. As we all know (and he concedes) Kiefer is a bigtime boozer – who can forget that photo of him in a bar with his pants around his ankles? Kiefer is the first to admit that almost every bad thing that’s ever happened to him is because he likes to go to bars and drink. His “24” costar Freddie Prinze called him “the most unprofessional dude in the world” and hated working with him. Although he has NOT given up drinking, Kiefer still manages to get one high paying acting job after another and numerous beautiful girlfriends. Case in point: Cindy Vela, above, has been with Kiefer for five years, through think and thin -or should we say wet and dry. Kiefer has MORE than survived….

HOW LONG CAN KIEFER SUTHERLAND GO ON LIKE THIS?

AG037805_01kiefercut

Kiefer Sutherland never ceases to amaze us. Two days ago he was partying very heavily at the UK hotspot Chiltern Firehouse (hopefully he kept his pants on) and at 4 AM he had to be helped out the back door by two security people. When the “24” actor was delivered to his hotel, he literally had to be carried inside. Keep in mind, this binge boozing has been going on for most of his adult life and Kiefer is now 47. How does his liver withstand all this? It is interesting to note that drinking rarely if ever affects his work – Kiefer shows up on time and prepared. He was photographed at the airport returning today and looks a bit worse for wear.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND AND HIS KINKY BOOTS

Kiefer Sutherland seen out in Tribeca.

Sure, he LOOKS dapper, but Kiefer Sutherland suffers from “old boot syndrome.” The actor is nicely dressed for a stroll in New York wearing a dark coat and jaunty blue scarf, but when you look at his feet, it’s another story. Colin Farrell is another actor with the same idiosyncratic condition. Both guys have a favorite old pair of broken-in boots they simply cannot part with. Colin’s are his “lucky boots’ and he’s superstitious. Kiefer’s are comfortable and the heel height is just right. They both enjoy the fact that their boots are beat up and distressed looking. New and shiny is simply not as cool. We don’t know of any women with this disorder.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND IS NOW GETTING PAID TO DRINK

Now here’s a winning combination: Kiefer Sutherland and Jose Cuervo tequila. Yes, the liquor company has hired a functioning alcoholic as their spokesperson. (Never mind that Sutherland prefers J&B scotch with a Coca Cola chaser.) Kiefer has been a binge drinker for years and served 48 days in jail for multiple DUIs. Booze has lured the “24” actor into bar brawls, stripping in public, (click HERE to see the infamous pants-down photo) and assaulting Christmas trees in hotel lobbies. Kiefer, 46, survived with his career intact because he’s so darn likeable when he’s sober. And he never misses a day of work. Is it ethical for a liquor company to have an alcoholic spokesperson? Or is it a brilliant idea?

(The Cuervo ad above features the suave Kiefer, not the falling down drunk Kiefer.)

KIEFER SUTHERLAND KNOWS WHEN NOT TO DRIVE

“24” star Kiefer Sutherland has a new hangout- “The Association” – an underground hipster bar in downtown Los Angeles. He’s known for being a charming barfly and a big tipper. On his last visit Kiefer drank a full bottle of Dewars scotch. He confessed to a staffer that he was going to “smoke in the bathroom” and no one bothered him. Before he left, he assured an employee that he didn’t drive – “I’m not THAT dumb” he joked. Let’s hope he also gave up the head-butting.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND: OLD HABITS DIE HARD

Kiefer Sutherland walked around London where he is promoting “24,” with a cigarette behind his ear. Detectives in Mickey >Spillane type noir movies in the 1950’s used to do that. Also, we had an Uncle Herb who not only propped a smoke behind his ear, but used the cuff of his pants for an ashtray when there wasn’t one around. Kiefer signed autographs for fans and later retreated to his limo where he fired up.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAVID HASSELHOFF AND KIEFER SUTHERLAND

hasselhoffcutsuth
David Hasselhoff is not only a cowardly drunk, he’s a LIAR! He denies his own drunken behavior and the only way his daughters could prove it was to tape him when he was loaded. Good for them. Egomaniacal David has an army of lawyers ready to pounce on and bully any newspaper or magazine that intends to print a story about his drunken excesses, so readers don’t know how awful he really is. (He insists he was never at Madeo’s and never had a drink! LIAR!)
Kiefer Sutherland, on the other hand, has a drinking problem of his own, but he doesn’t threaten anyone who points it out to him. No cover-ups. He doesn’t try to weasel out of charges – he faces his punishment like a man (he’s a model prisoner), and doesn’t blame anyone else. Hasselhoff and Sutherland have little in common- except for the bottle.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND'S MYSTERY DATE

24’s Kiefer Sutherland is leaving Domnick’s in West Hollywood after having dinner with his pretty companion. He walked out with a huge smile on his face holding hands with this equally cheerful young woman. Obviously SHE was more intoxicating than cocktails because Kiefer was pleasantly sober for a change and as always, greeted fans and press outside. He IS a happy guy. The back of his nylon jacket said” Iron Workers Local #1 Chicago”
