Oscar-nominated actor Gary Busey has left fans baffled after posting a bizarre video in which he imitates a goose. The 81-year-old, known for his roles in 1980s classics such as Lethal Weapon and Point Break, appeared unrecognisable in the clip as he sat in a car and addressed his followers.
Wearing a cap reading 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space', Busey began: 'Hey, it's Gary Busey, and I have got a great Christmas present for you.' He then made a loud honking noise, explaining: 'That's what a GOOSE sounds like when they're flying. They're letting you know they're up there.'
Fans reacted with confusion in the comments, with one noting that Busey did not blink throughout the entire video, while another joked: 'Such a good actor. Thought he was a goose.' The video comes years after a life-changing motorcycle accident in 1988, which Busey has said gave him a glimpse of 'the other side'.
In a 2020 interview, Busey claimed he 'passed away after brain surgery' and was visited by three angels who offered him a choice: 'You may come to us now or return to your body and continue your destiny.' His son Jake later recalled the difficult aftermath, saying he had to teach his father to talk, eat and walk again.
Busey's career took off after his Oscar-nominated performance in The Buddy Holly Story in 1978, but he later struggled with cocaine addiction, which led him to become a devout Christian in 1996. In recent years, he faced sexual misconduct allegations from five women, resulting in a guilty plea to one charge of criminal sexual misconduct in July 2025 and a two-year probation sentence.
