Ocean’s Eleven actor George Clooney detailed his past drug use in a recent interview, revealing he tried cocaine and ‘stuff’ when he was in his early 20s
George Clooney revealed his past drug use as he opened up about a few wild stories from his 20s. The Ocean’s Eleven actor, 64, detailed trying cocaine and ‘other stuff’ when he was in his early 20s, a few years before he landed his first major role in the CBS sitcom E/R.
In a recent interview, the actor said: “I tried—I did blow and stuff. I used to make jokes about how I did too many drugs, but the truth is, it was never a big issue for me at all.
“And look, there was an episode of Taxi where they’re all doing blow. At the time, it was like, No, this is not like heroin. It’s not addictive. But then it was like, Oh, well, it’s actually pretty f**king bad. Plus, it was all cut with mannitol.”

Speaking to Esquire, he added: “The baby laxative. Everybody would do a line and then take a s**t.”
The Up in the Air star went on to detail making weed brownies with his friends to enjoy while watching The Wizard of Oz and listening to Dark Side of the Moons.
He said all 20 of them were “f***ed” and sat in the screening room in silence for hours after the movie ended. George said: “Hours! Like the sun was coming up and we’re—it’s just not my drug.”
It comes after his wife Amal Clooney opened up about their family and the rules she has for anyone who comes to visit their home.
Over the summer, she said she has banned anyone from using their phones when they are in her home to protect her family’s privacy.
Speaking to Glamour about living her life as one half of the showbiz world’s most famous couples, she said: “Creating private moments and spaces is becoming increasingly difficult. But that’s also why we entertain a lot at home. I now have a phone basket that I use to take everyone’s phones away!”
“It’s important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange.
“And I would say becoming a parent means you’re more troubled by some of the intrusions. So we do the best we can to minimise any impact on our children. We don’t put our children out there, we’ve never put their photo out there or anything like that.”
