Actor Kiefer Sutherland reportedly demonstrated his karate skills during a heavy drinking session - first thing in the morning. The '24' star, accompanied by several "rowdy" friends, is said to have gone into Los Angeles' Ye Rustic Inn bar at 9am and asked staff to start him a tab.

According to Steppin' Out, after sinking a few rounds of drinks and being presented with the bill, Sutherland claimed he couldn't pay, telling bar staff: "It's been stolen! I promise I'll come back and pay."

The handsome star then proceeded to launch himself into a "series of karate kicks in the middle of the floor" while the bartenders and several bemused customers looked on. A fan then came to Sutherland's aid and agreed to pick up his bill and treat the actor to several more alcoholic beverages.

After devouring a plate of chicken wings, Sutherland - renowned for his wild partying - then left, according to the magazine. A representative for the star has refused to comment on the actor's alleged antics.
