Trust me, they do! These remarkable fellas had a rep theatre industry to work in, so they’d be doing 10-12 plays a year and constantly working and getting reviews and drinking and enjoying themselves. And becoming famous and going on talk shows to tell stories! Nowadays all the parts for actors are on telly and film and you have to eat well and drink smoothies and behave. If you’re a lucky sod like me and you get to do the odd play, you’ll meet amazing actors full of their own stories like these!

Richard Harris once found himself on a train late at night. He was alone on this train without any idea how he got on it. At the end of the line. The conductor of the train told him he had to get off as the train was stopping for the night. He found himself in a terraced street in the early hours of the night. He started throwing small stones at the nearest upstairs window of the first house in the street, eventually a woman opened the window and said "what do you want"?, he said he wanted a drink!, ......he was there 4 weeks lol

You can actually appreciate their drunken, brawling days by listening to their storied lives. You won't get that today.

They still possessed charm, wit, intelligence and an overwhelming appetite for overindulgence.
