Is Gary Busey faking his craziness, or is he really and truly bonkers?

Question

The country singer guy (John?) said that he thinks that Gary is faking being crazy as a game ploy, and he thinks that Gary is fully aware of what he's doing because he's quite sane in the boardroom). People seem to forget that Gary had a really serious brain injury after his motorcycle accident (I bet that he wears a helmet now (lol) ) . He was very adamant about not wearing a helmet prior to his accident. I remember that well. He had a thing against helmets for whatever reason. He was trying to be a rebel I guess. Dumb.

Answer 1

Im sure there some truth to Gary busey brain injury. But by the same token I think he's playing on others for his accident leading on people that might buy into this. As you have seen he seems to straighten up in the board room and follow the questions and is fast to understand the process. Not to say he's not a bit quirky but he plays it up to his benefit when needed. Marlee said he's a nice man she can vouche for him. I think he can turn it on when he needs to and other times he can play dumb and bewildered in certain areas as he has found it works for him in these areas. so to answer your question its a bit of both Garey uses it for an advantage while others think its a disadvantage and the sob sorry he's a bit off the mark due to the accident. BUt he knows what he's doing. Did you notice he took the opportunity when speaking with the sun tan lotion people to sell himself out as a product and celebrity for there product if they needed it. If he wasn't all there he would not know when that opportunity existed and go in for planting his seed. He would be oblivious to it and just talk on about the project. He was smart enough to see that there was an opportunity. What he didn't see was this was not the right time to sell himself. Some companies may like it as it shows he's a go getter and or he has gumption others like this company dont' go for such things or pitches when its not in the right atmosphere.

Answer 2

Gary Busey Tbi

Answer 3

IMO, he is really and truly bonkers. He was on a season of Celebrity Rehab and the things that came out of his mouth were THE most bizzarre things EVER. I understand about his traumatic brain injury but someone would ask "isn't the sky beautiful today?" and he would go on and on about a pair of socks he wore in 1954.

Answer 4

He's not crazy as in mentally ill.. but years of drug abuse combined with the motorcycle accident which caused brain damage has clearly taken a toll on him. Plus being a celebrity I think makes you a bit weird or eccentric anyway. I definitely don't think he is faking anything.

Answer 5

You have to allow for the fact that Gary had avery serious brain injury, which probably is partly why his personality is like that. I don't think he is aware of some of the things he does. But if you look at the positives: he is entertaining, he is very carefree and is quick to forgive those who are confrontational towards him.

Answer 6

I think of one of my favorites, Brett Micheals and his diabetes and his hospitalization and his sick daughter, he didn't act as if he was crazy but he did win didn't he? Gary is playing a game although he is a "loose goose".

Answer 7

He is as dumb as a fox and knows exactly what he is doing. He is an actor and wants as much exposure as possible so people talk about him . To some insecure actors, bad publicity is as good as good publicity. He i s milking that head injury for all its worth.
