Whilst filming a doco on the (heinous) shark fin trade in Costa Rica, famously foul mouthed TV chef Gordon Ramsay has gotten himself into a few spots of bother including being held at gunpoint and having petrol poured over him!!
After discovering a stash of fins, filming and leaving the building the locals took offence to his showing up their illegal goods trade and poured petrol over him, "Then these cars with blacked out windows suddenly appeared from nowhere trying to block us in. We dived into (our) car and peeled off." Sounds like he wasn't being very sneaky about it all...you would think that having a camera crew in tow and trying to show up the bad guys (who have guns BTW) you might want to be a bit discrete.
They then made their way to the docks and scammed their way onto a boat where Gordon found a large sack of fins and was then firmly warned to stop filming by dudes with guns! and then was kindly shown the back door to the country by the police and was told that it was probably best if he left. I wonder if his colorful language made an appearance??
