Patrick Stewart's Jimmy Kimmel sketch goes viral and makes him terribly unpopular

Patrick Stewart is one of the best loved actors in the world, but his latest impression of very annoying people on planes might make some of his fans reconsider their hero.

On Jimmy Kimmel's talk show, the actor did impressions of the most infuriating people on planes, and the YouTube video has been watched nearly 1.5 million times.

Stewart has gained a reputation as an outspoken supporter of women's rights with an intensely personal and passionate speech about his mother's experience of domestic abuse, as well as being an ambassador for assisted suicide.

However, his fanbase may take a sharp nosedive after seeing how very annoying Stewart can be in a confined space.
