The fact that he has to give an interview to address the cynics is sad. I mean I am a cynic when it comes to a lot of things that celebs say or do and I definitely mock the sudden influx of "celebs just escaping with barely being hurt" articles after Saif's incident, but seriously in this case we have doctors, police, and Saif's own family!
If this was all a big PR stunt, then maybe a few doctors and police could be in on it, but would they really go as far as getting security, pulling back from their media presence, and involving their youngest children (the ones too naive to understand that it's all an act)?
I don't care what he said in the interview and how dumb it sounds, but the fact remains that there was a "robbery" attempt (yeah I still have my doubts on that) and he got hurt in it.
