Don Johnson pulled the curtain again on some wild visits to the White Home.
Johnson, 75, claimed he as soon as smoked a joint on the White Home, and obtained former President George H.W. Bush to gamble on a sport of golf.
Throughout an look on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” host Jimmy Kimmel confirmed the actor a photograph from 1975 that includes Johnson with President Jimmy Carter and musicians Chuck Leavell and Dickey Betts taken at an Allman Brothers live performance.
“I don’t remember that photo, but we were all stoned,” Johnson admitted.
He clarified that Carter was doubtless not stoned. “Well, I don’t know about him,” Johnson mentioned. “I don’t want to cast any aspersions on the former president. God rest his soul.”
Johnson landed his invite to the White Home after working with the Allman Brothers on a live performance for Carter’s presidential marketing campaign in 1976. “Then the fun began,” he informed Kimmel.
The late-night present host questioned what sort of enjoyable that they had on the White Home. “Nobody has fun at the White House,” Kimmel mentioned earlier than including, “I have heard Willie Nelson had fun there.”
“Is that the kind of fun you had there?” he requested Johnson. “Did you smoke at the White House?”
The “Miami Vice” star seemingly struggled to reply. “I don’t know how to answer this. Well, yes… I guess I did,” admitted Johnson.
Based on the veteran actor, he’s visited the White Home throughout every president’s administration since Carter. Johnson continued to inform Kimmel about his escapades, together with a time he performed a spherical of golf with Bush.
“He wanted to gamble when we played golf out at Camp David,” Johnson mentioned. “And so I took his money,” he recalled to laughter and applause from the viewers.
“I’ll tell you something else: He’s a trash talker, and he ran into a buzzsaw, because so am I.”
When questioned about how a lot Bush wager, Johnson mentioned “it wasn’t that much.”
“Eighteen or 20 bucks,” he informed Kimmel, including, “But that’s the best 18 or 20 bucks you’ll ever get.”
Johnson isn’t the primary movie star to share wild tales from the White Home.
Nation legend Willie Nelson initially claimed he smoked weed with somebody in Carter’s administration throughout his notorious journey to the White Home. Nevertheless, Carter later clarified that Nelson really smoked together with his son, James Earl “Chip” Carter III.
“When Willie Nelson wrote his autobiography, he confessed that he smoked pot in the White House one night when he was spending the night with me,” Carter mentioned within the 2020 documentary, “Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President.” “And he says that his companion that shared the pot with him was one of many servants within the White Home.
“That is not exactly true — it actually was one of my sons, which he didn’t want to categorize as a pot-smoker like him.”
