Scottish-American actor John Barrowman is getting roasted online for his rant about a recent business class experience, with many labelling the clip \u201cridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Doctor Who\u00a0star and former\u00a0Dancing on Ice\u00a0judge shared a now-deleted video on X complaining about the \u201cshady\u201d service during a flight from Los Angeles to London on American Airlines.<\/p>\n

His tirade included a lack of pajamas, which business class passengers receive complimentary when flying on ultra-long-haul flights.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi American [Airlines] we have paid for the flagship service,\u201d he began, filming from his seat as he pointed out his dad and husband who were seated behind him.<\/p>\n

Actor John Barrowman complained about the \u201cshady\u201d service during a flight from Los Angeles to London on American Airlines. News.Com.AU<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father and my husband behind and the tickets were very expensive and we get on thinking we\u2019d get pajamas with the flagship service,\u201d the rant began.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you apparently only give them to the first two rows in business class. What\u2019s that all about?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far you\u2019re not batting very high,\u201d the 59-year-old continued.<\/p>\n

The \u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d actor also complained that the cabin crew got his order incorrect.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeal order wrong and then told we don\u2019t have exactly what everyone else is getting on the flight when we all have flagship service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barrowman posted his rant on social media, which prompted users to label the actor\u2019s clip as \u201cridiculous.\u201d News.Com.AU<\/p>\n

He signed off: \u201cCan you explain? Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

While some voiced their support for the actor, others weren\u2019t so forgiving, branding him a \u201cdiva\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be fair if you pay a lot of money for a service then I\u2019d expect the service I paid for,\u201d one person commented on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in no way a fan of John Barrowman, but how do people have an issue with him asking for something he\u2019s paid for?\u201d said another.<\/p>\n

One person who appeared shocked by his rant, wrote: \u201cThe entitlement is off the scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Barrowman starred as Patrick Logan in the \u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d series. ABC<\/p>\n

Another added sarcastically: \u201cOur thoughts are with John Barrowman at this difficult time,\u201d while a third wrote: \u201cStop moaning about a pair of pyjamas, if you paid business class you can afford a pair yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the caption of his post, Barrowman slammed the airline further, claiming he had received poor customer service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find that shady and bad customer service. You\u2019re supposed to be pushing this flagship and at the moment it\u2019s not hitting the ball out of the park.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottish-American actor John Barrowman is getting roasted online for his rant about a recent business class experience, with…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1020937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[568,12402,280199,171,1165,67,132,68,5631],"class_list":["post-1020936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-actors","tag-american-airlines","tag-doctor-who","tag-entertainment","tag-lifestyle","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-viral-videos"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
