Dennis Quaid Meltdown Video Fake? 8 Tips to Avoid Temper Meltdowns & Embarrassment

There have a number of celebrity meltdowns caught on video, and the most recent one featured Dennis Quaid. However, there are speculations that the caught-on-video meltdown might have been a gag. 

Access Hollywood states that a video of Dennis Quaid having a "total meltdown" was caught on camera. Quaid was reportedly filming a scene for an unknown production when someone from the filming crew stepped into the shot.  

The actor was not happy with the disturbance and apparently started screaming profanities in anger, states Access Hollywood.  

Quaid screamed, "I am acting her and this d**khead wander onto my set! I can't even get a line out until dopey the d**k start whispering in your ear and you're not even watching anymore!" 

There are rumors spreading that the video was a gag as Quaid has been known to be a good sport about pranks. Access Hollywood states that he worked with Ellen DeGeneres on a number of "gag sketches over the years." 

Despite the rumors about the incident, having a breakdown in front of tons of people can be quite embarrassing. Liisted below are some tips to keep the red rage monster inside everyone at bay. 

Tip #1: Know when to walk away. 

PychCentral advises to learn the things that may trigger anger. If these triggers ever come up in a conversation or a situation, simply walk away.  

Tip #2: Think before speaking. 

People tend to say some horrible things when they are angry, which almost always cause them to end up in regret. If walking away is not an option, try giving yourself time to collect your thoughts before speaking. Mayo Clinic suggests having the other person do the same. 

Tip #3: Close your eyes. 

PsychCentral suggests closing your eyes when a breakdown seems to be boiling up. Closing the eyes helps some people regain balance and proper focus, states the report.  

Tip #4: Get some exercise. 

Mayo Clinic states that exercise can help reduce stress which could be a source of anger management issue. The report suggests getting some physical exercise to control temper.  

Tip #5: Find some solitude. 

Being around people, especially hyper kids, can sometimes add to stress which can lead to a meltdown. Having some private time can help the nervous system regenerate, states PsychCentral.  

Tip #6: Identify all possible solutions. 

If a problem arises that has triggered some anger, try focusing on all the possible solutions to it first, suggests Mayo Clinic. Do not focus on the anger that the problem is triggering. 

Tip #7: Listen to some music. 

Music can be soothing and relaxing, states PsycCentral. It can probably help reduce some stress and anger. 

Tip #8: Know when to seek help. 

If controlling anger seems to be harder than usual, maybe it is time to ask for help, suggests Mayo Clinic. Anger management can be hard and there is no shame in seeking help.
