More and more often we are left to see how fame takes its toll on our favorite stars, especially on those who are known to have a bit of a temper.

Actor Gary Coleman ,40, was involved in an incident Saturday morning, when he hit a fan with his truck outside a bowling alley in Salt Lake City, Utah. Former “Diff’rent Strokes” star was out with his wife, Shannon Price, at that time. The police have declared that the incident followed an argument which started inside the bowling alley when 24-year-old fan, Colt Rushton, asked to take a couple of pictures of Coleman. According to Payson Police Lieutenant Bill Wright, Rushton “took some of Gary Coleman, and [Coleman] wasn't happy about it.” Apparently, the altercation continued outside where, trying to back out of a parking space, the actor hit his fan and another vehicle with his truck. The police stated it is still unknown whether Coleman hit Rushton on purpose since neither of the two was too eager to give detailed information about their argument. Although Rushton did get hospital treatment for minor injuries, no charges were pressed.

This is not the first time Gary Coleman has been involved in such conflicts with his fans. In 1998, in California, he punched a female fan who wanted his autograph after she had allegedly offended him. He later accepted the charges of disturbing the peace that had been pressed against him.

Gary Coleman became famous in the late 70’s as a child star in the US TV show “Diff’rent Strokes”. Between 1978 and 1986, he played Arnold Jackson, whose legendary line “Whatcoo talking bout, Willis?” earned him  tremendous popularity and secured his position as one of the small screen’s unforgettable figures.
