While filming Easy Rider, actor Jack Nicholson was less than secretive about describing the excessive drug and alcohol use both on and off screen during the filming of the movie. In particular, Nicholson described the scene by the campfire in which he acknowledged that everyone was completely stoned. He had smoked just about an entire joint to himself and instead of trying to act stoned for the scene, he was so high that he began to have to try and act more sober than he actually was. There was even a rumor going around that Nicholson smoked 155 joints during filming, which he says was a little exaggerated.
