Actor Jerry O'Connell recently addressed public confusion surrounding a news report about his stolen vehicle. He clarified via social media that he is not the homeless individual apprehended driving his 1979 Cadillac, which had been stolen from his driveway.
The vehicle was recovered by the LASD Malibu/Lost Hills Station on January 13, after it was pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway for speeding. The driver, a homeless man, could not provide proper documentation and claimed the car belonged to a family member.
O'Connell expressed gratitude to the sheriff's department for its swift action in recovering his car. He humorously commented on the situation, even referencing Tom Cruise and his iconic line from 'Jerry Maguire,' a film in which O'Connell also appeared.
This incident follows O'Connell's viral experience at a lengthy Los Angeles Dodgers game late last year. He documented the extended baseball game, which lasted 18 innings, sharing his humorous frustration about its duration and his need to attend to personal necessities.
