Anthony Anderson kicked out of White House

Written by . Published: May 06 2015

Actor Anthony Anderson was once escorted out of the White House after he took a detour and began exploring the President's home without permission.


The Transformers star was recently invited into the Washington, D.C. landmark, but he lost his way during a tour of the highly guarded residence and decided to take a wander.


In an interview with chat show The Talk, Anderson reveals, "I got kicked out of the White House. I had never been kicked out as politely as I was.


"I was in a part of the White House that I probably shouldn't have been (in), but I thought it was my house, it's my tax dollars because I pay for it! I was wandering around, I saw a piano I started playing it. Secret Service (members) came out and said, 'You're not supposed to be touching that.'"


He continued, "A lovely lady named Tina Tchen (Assistant to President Barack Obama) just gently grabbed me by my elbow and said, 'Mr. Anderson, let's go'. And I said, 'Are you kicking me out of the White House?' And she said, 'No, no, no - I'm just escorting you outside.'"
