"I learned that it's best to always turn them off," Duhamel, 38, told Access Hollywood on Sunday, adding that the scuff was "not my favorite moment."

TMZ first reported that Duhamel was "very rude" and "taunting" a male flight attendant's repeated requests to stop texting. The Transformers star's outburst forced his plane (bound for Kentucky) to leave the runway, reportedly angering fellow passengers. The actor's rep said he was "sorry" for the incident.

    Josh, next time you decide to pull a stunt like this, just remember that your little Blackberry does affect the aircraft and it's controls. Safety is ALWAYS first on a plane!!! Get it!?

    This is for all the commenters, that backed him, from when it was first published, even he thinks it was wrong!!

    I love how his "rep" said "he's sorry". Can't Josh utter those words? Or is he too cocky for an actual apology. All those people on that plane had better things to do than to watch a celebrity hissy fit, I'm sure. What a d-bag.

    What's so funny about this is that even the employee's at the airplane company are misinformed. It that it is the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), not the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) that has banned cells on planes. They are worried about the land lines being clogged up by the thousands of people flying everyday and their lines won't be able to handle the extra input from the traveling passengers. Has nothing to do with the plane failing... THIS IS WHAT I AM TIRED OF, MISINFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE.
