Poor Paul O’Grady! The English chat show host did not have a very good experience during his recent layover at the Miami International Airport. He was detained by airport officials due to his “funny” accent. O’Grady is from Liverpool, England.
The comedian had his passport taken away and was held for 2 hours during questioning.
He said: “Every time I said, ‘Excuse me, can you tell me why am I here?’, they just ignored me. It was so rude.”
They wanted to know when was the last time he visited Cuba.
O’Grady replied: “I said, ‘You’ve been studying my passport for the last hour and you can see I’ve never been to Cuba in my life’.
“Then this guy said to me, ‘He thinks you’re a Cuban immigrant’. I said, ‘cos I look Cuban, don’t I?’”
He ended up in MIA after vacationing in Peru.
