Sopranos star in scooter crash
Sopranos star James Gandolfini was knocked off his scooter when he collided with a cab in New York, according to reports.
The actor, who plays mob boss Tony Soprano in the hit series, apparently lay dazed and confused in the street for a few minutes after being clipped by the taxi and coming off his Vespa in SoHo.
“He was shaken up,” eyewitness Jason O’Malley told the New York Post. “A couple of guys helped him off the ground and picked up his bike.”
Gandolfini reportedly told people in the crowd which gathered after the incident yesterday morning: “I'm all right.”
He borrowed a mobile phone to call his assistant and make arrangements for someone to pick up the damaged scooter before leaving in another cab, according to the Post.
“James Gandolfini is fine, and his scooter is in the repair shop,” a spokeswoman for TV network HBO told the newspaper.
He did not seek medical attention, Angela Tarantino added.
