‘Star Wars’ actor once almost caught by police on Oscars night

• Anthony Daniel once came close to being arrested by police officers on Oscars night.
• They believed he was a gate-crasher and intended to have him arrested.
• “I was clinging gratefully to my personal minder and flashing my badge at everyone.”

Anthony Daniel, the well-known C-3PO in the Star Wars universe, once came close to being arrested by police officers on Oscars night.

The actor admitted in his book I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story that after taking off his droid outfit and leaving the award ceremony’s admission line, he went to the bar.

“My personal guard reluctantly let me go off by myself. I left him to watch all my stuff, including the rather unappealing badge they’d given me. It looked like some kind of radiation alarm and certainly didn’t go with my smart clothes.”

Daniels encountered “a fully weaponized police officer’s” boot blocking his escape when he came out of the elevator.

Without the platinum outfit, they believed he was a gate-crasher and intended to have him arrested.

“Time stopped. My future life flashed in front of me. I’d be hand-cuffed, fingerprinted, imprisoned with who-knew-who, my professional life over, left a laughing stock,” Daniel wrote.

Daniel continued by saying that the moment the officer’s focus was called to something else, he immediately took advantage of it.

“Without even looking, I stepped neatly backward [into the elevator] and pushed a button. When he turned around, it was too late for his boot to stop my escape. By the time he’d raced up the stairs to the next level,

I was clinging gratefully to my personal minder and flashing my badge at everyone.”

Daniels, meanwhile, frequently attended the Academy Awards while dressed in his well-known Star Wars ensemble.
