Course you do because if you’ve been following John Cusack on his PR run for Hot Tub Time Machine, you’ve heard him mention it a dozen times!
Here’s the story: 1986 Super Bowl, Patriots versus Bears. A young Cusack was enjoying his rise to fame with movies like Say Anything and Sixteen Candles. He was also high as a kite, having done mushrooms before the game started.
In the past week, he has told this story to Vanity Fair, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, all in response to the same question: What were the 80s like for you?
By the time he got the Craig’s gig, he started to get really technical, claiming:
“The eighties are not worth revisiting … unless you’re probably on psilocybin or some sort of drugs.”
That’s a huge word for the hallucinogen in shrooms!
Oh John. Silly, forgotten, drug-lovin John.
