Actor Orlando Bloom stopped his West End performance of "Killer Joe" twice because an audience member was holding an iPad.
London theatre critic Mark Shenton tweeted an "eye-witness account" from the play, sharing Bloom's outbursts, in which he threatened to stall the show if the iPad remained in sight.
"I need you to put (that) iPad away now" Shenton quoted Bloom as saying, before adding minutes later, "Put that f***ing iPad away now and I will wait."
Another audience member, actor Harry Edwin, replied to Shenton's tweet to defend the iPad owner, behind whom he was sitting during the incident. According to Edwin, the woman in question was using the iPad "for her fan" in the hot theatre.
"Killer Joe," starring Bloom, opened on the West End on June 4 and is slated to run through August 18.
