10 Oct
Summary
- Douglas funded college by smuggling marijuana across the country.
- He used fancy leather suitcases gifted by his father for smuggling.
- Douglas defended 'nepo baby' criticism, asking why show business is singled out.
Actor and producer Michael Douglas recently appeared on 'Real Time with Bill Maher' to discuss his memoir, "One Helluva Ride." During the interview, Douglas shared a surprising detail from his college years: he funded his education by smuggling marijuana.
Douglas explained that he used two high-quality Italian leather suitcases, a gift from his father Kirk Douglas, to transport the drugs. He noted the significant profit margin when selling marijuana between the East and West Coasts. This anecdote emerged as Douglas discussed earning money through early jobs, separate from his famous father's career.
The conversation also touched upon the current "nepo baby" discourse. Douglas defended individuals with famous parents in the industry, questioning why show business is uniquely scrutinized compared to other family-run businesses.
