The 1969 movie scene Jack Nicholson was stoned out of his mind for: “I smoked about 155 joints”The 1969 psychedelic road film Easy Rider is in itself an iconic artefact of the counterculture movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was famously written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern, with Fonda and Hopper both starring alongside Jack Nicholson. Peter Fonda then backed up the claim, adding, “Everyone had their drug of choice on Easy Rider“. The same could not be said, however, for Jack Nicholson. Keeping it all in mind stoned, and playing the scene straight and then becoming stoned—it was fantastic.”
