On Friday night, Michael Douglas stopped by “Real Time with Bill Maher” to promote his mammoth memoir “One Helluva Ride,” chronicling the acclaimed actor and producer’s rise through the Hollywood ranks, from winning the Best Picture Oscar for producing “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” to winning the Best Actor Oscar for “Wall Street” to the present-day.
The book also covered “sex, drugs and rock and roll,” as he told Maher, including how Douglas helped pay for college by smuggling marijuana across the country in fancy suitcases gifted to him by his actor-father Kirk Douglas.
“You and I share something in common about getting through college together,” offered Douglas, to which Maher replied, “What it is we discovered is that when you buy pot in one place and sell it in a different place, the difference between those two amounts can be very good in living your life.”
“With this ‘nepo baby’ thing, doesn’t every single business, doesn’t a father or a mother want their son or daughter to go into the business?” he asked, defensively. “They have a sign that says ‘so and so and sons,’ so why pick on show business?”
