I vote the former.
I've read a number of accounts about McQueen's adventures, including his fondness for riding his Indian ratbike around anonymously (or attempting to be) and chasing through the Hollywood hills with the cops.
My favorite though, was the story of him taking his favorite stunt plane out late in life. He knew he was going to die from cancer, so he took a .45 caliber pistol with him. When he landed the plane undamaged, someone called him a chicken. McQueen responded: "[email protected]#$ you. I didn't want to scratch it." (referring to the plane).
It hurts a little to watch The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, and, especially, Bullitt. I miss McQueen. The current crop of Hollywood flakes couldn't carry his jock en masse.
