Harry Connick Jr. is one of the most talented celebrities in Hollywood, but has managed to stay out of the spotlight and media headlines for the most part. He is a singer, an actor, a musician, and extremely funny, providing much of the comic relief during his time as a judge on American Idol. He has been part of the music world and entertainment industry for almost his entire life, and went on to marry a Victoria’s Secret model, but there are still so many things to know about the handsome star! Check it out:
10. Arrest
Harry Connick Jr. has a reputation for being a clean cut, good guy, but he has gotten himself in trouble at least once. In December of 1992, Connick Jr. was charged with bringing a gun to the security checkpoint in an airport. Port Authority Police arrested him and charged him with having a 9mm pistol in his possession at JFK International Airport. As a result, he had to spend a day in jail and had to make a PSA commercial warning the public against breaking gun laws. Along with that the court agreed to drop all the charges if he stayed out of trouble for six months.
