Duhamel learned lesson about texting

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Actor Josh Duhamel admits he's learned his lesson after being removed from a recent flight in New York because he wouldn't turn off his BlackBerry device.

The "Transformers" and "Life as We Know It" star's plane was turned back from a runway to a gate at LaGuardia Airport last week after he ignored several requests to turn off the electronic device, People.com said Monday.

"I've learned that it's best to always turn them off," the actor said, confessing to TV's "Access Hollywood," "(It was) not my favorite moment."

"I'm good," People.com said he added. "Lesson learned."
