Dennis Hopper – the insane maniac

“You want to hear about insanity? I was found running naked through the jungles in Mexico. At the Mexico City airport, I decided I was in the middle of a movie and walked out on the wing on takeoff. My body... my liver... okay, my brain... went.”

- Dennis Hopper

Hopping Mad

One day in the 1970s, Dennis Hopper - whose daily diet then included half a gallon of rum, a few beers, and several grams of cocaine - arrived in Mexico to shoot a film. Ranting that people were being tortured in his hotel, he stripped naked and walked out of town.

He soon returned, explaining that he felt snakes and bugs beneath his skin, saw alien spacecraft, and had become a solar system. When friends attempted to persuade him to get dressed, he cried, "No! Kill me like this!"

Hopper's role in the film? The head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

In honor of Dennis Hopper

Dennis Hopper received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Saturday. The sad fact is that he's ill with prostate cancer and will probably not survive that long.

The coming week will be in honor of the legend, the psychotic maniac - Dennis Hopper.

Acid Rider

One day during the production of Easy Rider, Jack Nicholson dropped acid with Dennis Hopper. The co-stars soon found themselves running down a road in the headlights of a truck. "We're geniuses, you know that?" Nicholson panted to Hopper. "We're both geniuses. Isn't it great to be a genius?" The following morning, the 'genius' woke up in a tree - and had no recollection of how he got there.
