Joey King has taken to Twitter to slam an airplane passenger who thought she had cancer during a recent flight.

The 19-year-old shaved all of her hair off in October for a new movie role in which she’ll be playing Gypsy Rose Blanchard – google that name if you don’t know who we’re talking about – so she’s currently rocking a shaved head.

The actress was hella annoyed when the man next to her on a flight texted his wife a photo of Joey because she has no hair.

“Y’all I’m on a plane & this man next to me literally turned to me with his phone in my face & took a photo of me as if I wouldn’t notice & texted his wife that he’s sitting next to a girl who has cancer (just cuz I’m bald) & that hes scared to ‘catch it’…Y R PPL STUPID SUMTIMES,” she wrote on Twitter.

The guy even remarked that he didn’t want to catch her cancer – wtf?!

“I read his text over his shoulder it said ‘some bald chick next to me with F**kn cancer coughed and I don’t wanna catch it’…..um ya jokin?”
