Veteran actor DENNIS HOPPER ended up in seven different jails after an alcohol detox in Mexico in 1982 made him hallucinate and forget who he was.
The APOCALYPSE NOW star, who was addicted to alcohol and drugs during the 1970s and early 1980s, was convinced he needed to find an army to fight in a third world war, and went out looking for soldiers – naked.
He explains, “My manager had called and said, Don’t give him any booze,’ so I couldn’t get a drink and started having hallucinations.
