Actor refuses to turn phone off, escorted off plane

Josh Duhamel was taken off an airplane at New York's LaGuardia Airport after failing to shut off his Blackberry.

Duhamel, 38, pulled out his Blackberry and began texting while on the runway, according to People magazine.

A flight attendant asked the actor three times to turn the device off before take off, according to the Washington Post.

Passengers on the plane described Duhamel as "very rude," which angered the flight attendant, who redirected the plane back to the gate, according to the New York Daily News.
