Celebrity downfall? Rocket Raccoon, or someone who looks a lot like him, spotted eating out of garbage
EDMUNSTON, NB—Hollywood giveth.
But Hollywood also taketh away.
Even after his second consecutive smash hit film, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume II star Rocket Raccoon was spotted eating out of a garbage can behind a restaurant this weekend — or at least a guy who is a raccoon.

This reporter is troubled.
He has so much going for him. I just don't know what he's thinking.
I also do not know what he's doing in my hometown of Edmunston, New Brunswick, but a celebrity sighting is a celebrity sighting.
Perhaps he's filming something here, perhaps an independent Canadian film. Or perhaps he's just come to our little town as a way to recharge his batteries after his sudden and no doubt delirium-inducing rise to fame.
I am going to keep him in my thoughts. I almost can't help it — I don't think I'll soon be able to rid my mind of the image of the great actor tearing through the garbage behind my favourite local Chinese restaurant. What would drive him to do it? He could afford all the Chinese food he wants.
Only one thing's for sure: count your blessings. Because I guess it's true what they always say: no matter how much you think you've got it made, in the blink of an eye you can go from the #1 film to eating a Combo #1 out of a garbage bag in Edmunston, New Brunswick.
Oh, no. I should have said something about his "rocket" to fame! Argh.
