He was wasted from the second he walked in, so there was an atmosphere when I went down to do the show that everyone was freaking out because someone seemed to be a crazy person in the audience,” Cumming said. “We’ve all done things where we’ve been out of it and messed up, and not everyone has to deal with it on such a worldwide scale, so I think he’s made a very good recovery. And he did say I was the sexiest man he’s ever seen!”
