Chace Crawford's Insight Into 'Boozer' Madsen's Hotel Outburst

GOSSIP GIRL star Chace Crawford has given an insight into Michael Madsen's recent outburst at a top London hotel - claiming someone had insulted the Hollywood tough guy's wife.

Madsen was at the center of a disturbance at London's Dorchester Hotel on Sunday (08Jun08), and was reportedly taken to hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises before being discharged.

And Crawford was staying at the exclusive hotel at the same time as the Kill Bill star, and heard rumours swirling throughout the building about what prompted Madsen to lash out.

He tells Britain's The Independent newspaper, "I heard around the hotel that someone had insulted his wife and that's what set him off."

And the Hollywood hunk isn't surprised by the way Madsen reacted.

He adds, "I've met Michael before, and I've got to say he is a little crazy and a bit of a boozer."
