A video of Gary Busey’s Thanksgiving dinner speech was met with backlash from social media users, who trolled the actor for looking unkempt and disheveled at the table. He wore a carton-colored blazer over a black top, with a tablecloth tucked in ahead of the meal before him.

Gary’s hair looked thinned out, and he appeared gaunt as he gave thanks to a higher power, after which the family gave a round of applause. This comes nearly four decades after his motorcycle accident in downtown Los Angeles, which led to traumatic brain injury.

Gary has suffered a series of health challenges, including brain damage in the ‘80s, which led him to push for a helmet law in California. He claimed to have died and seen angels after the crash, noting that he felt love, trust, and protection in ways he had never experienced on earth before coming back to life. 

Regardless of the permanent injury to his brain, Gary still makes appearances on TV and in public while maintaining an impressive following from film fans. He starred in his pet court web series Gary Busey Pet Judge of 2020 after playing God in the Only Human musical at the St. Clements Theater in New York.

Some accused him of not taking a shower, while a few were concerned about his declining health. “Someone in the family should get him taken care of. What a mess,” someone wrote, while another asked if he was celebrating the holiday at a recovery house.
