I've known a few men who used nicotine gum and they chomped big time.

As a side note, they interviewed one of Michael's brothers tonight on our local news who lives here. Apparently his real name is Michael Douglas but obviously there was already someone acting who has that name. So as his fave was Buster Keaton, he decided to go with Michael Keaton. Just a little trivia Smiley Happy

Nerves maybe and maybe trying to take his mind off a smoke? There used to be 2 ladies at my church that were habitual gum chewers. Reminds me of that girl in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! LOL!

She sat in front of me many times, and snapped and chomped, it was awful. I got up and moved one time. The other lady was about 80, and she smacked like a cow, then would slurp.... OMG. You would think their husband would tell them.

I believe Oprah made a remark about it in an after show interview. She said she wanted to go up and slap him. I don't like gum chewing either and can't stand someone who cracks their gum. I guess I have bad nerves or something.

Boy, Oprah really thinks she's the behavior police, doesn't she? {#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

I bet Michael was nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof .... and like others said, he may be trying to quit smoking. It was his choice, but I bet a LOT of people had dry mouth and were very thirsty! {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

One can chew gum and one can chomp gum. He was chomping. Not good.

She seriously said that? Hmmmm. That remark is just as classless as chewing gum with your mouth open.

I've been Googling, but I can't find where she said it.

I noticed this, too! Sorry ~ not a good look!

I could "hear" my grandmother saying, "Spit out that gum!".
