Scottish-American actor John Barrowman is getting roasted online for his rant about a recent business class experience, with many labelling the clip \u201cridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>\u00a0star and former\u00a0Dancing on Ice<\/em>\u00a0judge shared a now-deleted video on X complaining about the \u201cshady\u201d service during a flight from Los Angeles to London on American Airlines.<\/p>\n

His tirade included a lack of pajamas, which business class passengers receive complimentary when flying on ultra-long-haul flights.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi American [Airlines] we have paid for the flagship service,\u201d he began, filming from his seat as he pointed out his dad and husband who were seated behind him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father and my husband behind and the tickets were very expensive and we get on thinking we\u2019d get pajamas with the flagship service,\u201d the rant began.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you apparently only give them to the first two rows in business class. What\u2019s that all about?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far you\u2019re not batting very high,\u201d the 59-year-old continued.<\/p>\n

The \u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d actor also complained that the cabin crew got his order incorrect.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeal order wrong and then told we don\u2019t have exactly what everyone else is getting on the flight when we all have flagship service.\u201d<\/p>\n

He signed off: \u201cCan you explain? Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

While some voiced their support for the actor, others weren\u2019t so forgiving, branding him a \u201cdiva\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be fair if you pay a lot of money for a service then I\u2019d expect the service I paid for,\u201d one person commented on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in no way a fan of John Barrowman, but how do people have an issue with him asking for something he\u2019s paid for?\u201d said another.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

One person who appeared shocked by his rant, wrote: \u201cThe entitlement is off the scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added sarcastically: \u201cOur thoughts are with John Barrowman at this difficult time,\u201d while a third wrote: \u201cStop moaning about a pair of pyjamas, if you paid business class you can afford a pair yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the caption of his post, Barrowman slammed the airline further, claiming he had received poor customer service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find that shady and bad customer service. You\u2019re supposed to be pushing this flagship and at the moment it\u2019s not hitting the ball out of the park.\u201d<\/p>\n
