Actress Joey King is currently sporting a shaved head to play Gypsy Rose Blanchard in the upcoming series “The Act,” but her look proved uncomfortable for a passenger sitting next to her on a recent flight. The actress took to social media this week to reveal a man seated next to her on an airplane took a photo of her without telling her because he thought she was diagnosed with cancer.
“[He] texted his wife that he’s sitting next to a girl who has cancer (just cuz I’m bald) & that hes scared to ‘catch it,'” King wrote to her over 400,000 Twitter followers, “I read his text over his shoulder it said, ‘Some bald chick next to me with fucking cancer coughed and I don’t wanna catch it’…..um ya jokin?”
King’s fans quickly rallied behind the actress on social media and criticized the male passenger for his ignorant comment.
