Controversies
- While flying home from Toronto, after auditioning for the movie, ‘The Mortal Instruments,’ Robert Sheehan had a troublesome experience with the flight’s cabin crew. Robert, along with his fellow auditionee, and honeymoon couple who were travelling along, got heavily drunk during the flight. In an interview he said,
We ordered some Caesars, which are like Bloody Marys, and one thing or another led to me buying a bottle of whisky”
The next thing he remembers is that he was being slammed by the air hostesses who were threatening to report Robert and his fellow drunkards for being wasted on the flight. The crew confiscated the whiskey bottle during the flight. After a few weeks, when Robert got the wiskey bottle out to celebrate his success at getting the role in film ‘The Mortal Instruments,’ he found that it had been spoilt with salt by the cabin crew.

When asked in an interview, “Have you ever shagged someone who came up to you and said, ‘Hi, I’m a fan of your work’?” , Sheehan replied, “Absolutely! Yes, I have.” This was a contradictory statement, as earlier, the charming Irish actor had disagreed on such an idea when in an interview, he said,
I’d never shag a fan’….. ‘If you sleep with this person, it is exploitative, and you are somehow taking advantage of the fact that they’ve put you on a pedestal’.
- In the Hot Press interview, Robert Sheehan informed how bad weed encouraged psychosis and paranoia (mental disorders). Apparently, in Ireland, weed is grown by some illegally living Chinese men, who don’t use proper fertilisers, resulting in the high concentration of THC level (The main psychoactive compound that produces the high sensation). So, to tackle the problem, Sheehan suggested that the government should take control over it.
The weed in Ireland is really bad. It’s dangerous…..So, it should be fucking legalised. It’s a massive shame on the government for having not legalised it”.
