Veteran actor Micheal Caine revealed that late in the '60s his contemporary Richard Harris had offered him marijuana.
The 84-year-old actor said although he did not indulge in drugs regularly, he smoked the weed given by the "Gladiator" actor which made him laugh so hard he almost "had a hernia", reported The Independent.
"It was midnight. I was trying to get a cab home from Grosvenor Square to Notting Hill Gate and I was standing on the corner, laughing maniacally. No cab would stop for me. I had to walk all the way home to Notting Hill," Caine said.
"The Dark Knight Rises" star said he never smoked marijuana again.
"It also affects the memory and as an actor, I've to remember lines," he added.
