LOS ANGELES - Kevin Smith says he's "way fat," but that shouldn't stop him from flying.

The director and actor says a pilot ejected him from a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Burbank, Calif., saying he didn't fit properly in a single seat.

Smith raised a stink about the incident on his Twitter page Sunday, saying "I'm way fat, but I'm not there just yet," and "If you look like me, you may be ejected from Southwest Air."

He posted a picture of himself sitting on the plane with his cheeks puffed out.

Southwest says its "Customer of Size" policy requires that travellers must be able to fit safely and comfortably in one seat or make other arrangements.

After a storm of angry online comments from Smith and his fans, the airline issued an apology first from its own Twitter account and later in a statement on its website titled "Not So Silent Bob," a jovial jab at the Silent Bob character Smith plays in many of his films.

"We would like to echo our tweets and again offer our heartfelt apologies to you," the statement said.

The airline said it also accommodated Smith on a later flight, gave him a $100 voucher and apologized by phone.

Both Smith and the airline acknowledged that he had bought two seats for his original flight from Oakland, where he had spoken at the Macworld Expo conference.

But he was flying standby in order to catch an earlier flight, and only one was available.

Smith insisted that he was still able to put both armrests down and buckle his seat belt, which is Southwest's standard.

Smith is the director of the new Bruce Willis movie "Cop Out," and previously directed the films "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy."

I Don't See The Problem If He Bought 2 Seats...



But He Could Be A Satanic Shapeshifting Lizard From Draco...
And If The Plane Was In An Emergency,
He Could Have Blocked Up The Exit With His Bulk...



These People Are Gonna Die Of Heart Attacks Prematurley Anyway...!!!

"Wearing black to slenderize" only goes so far, Kevin!

Cameras can make you look a stone heavier, maybe he's not as fat as you think!

In that case his ankles and feet are tiny.

Atleast now we know that celebrities aren't given preferential treatment if they don't look like a hollywood action star.
