Don Johnson's White House Confession: The Drug Story No One Expected
Scandalous Secrets and High-Stakes Shenanigans: Don Johnson's Wild Ride Through the Years
Don Johnson, the charismatic star of Miami Vice, has been a regular at the White House for decades, rubbing shoulders with some of the most powerful men in America - including Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. And it seems that Don's good fortune didn't just end there. According to sources close to the actor, his many visits to the nation's capital were often a recipe for debauchery and high-stakes shenanigans.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Don shared some salacious stories about his White House exploits. The 75-year-old actor was shown a photo of himself with the late President Carter at a campaign concert in 1976, along with Melanie Griffith (Don's ex-wife) and other notable musicians, including the Allman Brothers. When asked about the photo, Don quipped, "I don't remember that photo but we were all stoned." Ouch!
Kimmel pressed Don for more details, asking if he had ever smoked marijuana at the White House. Don hesitated before confessing, "I don't know how to answer this... Well, yes, I guess I did." Wow! That's some serious 1970s-era partying right there.
But that wasn't all - Don also regaled Kimmel with stories of his adventures with President George H.W. Bush at the 1992 Winter Olympics in France. "He was fantastic," Don gushed. "He was a great guy." However, things took a turn for the competitive when Don and Bush engaged in a heated game of golf at Camp David. According to Don, Bush wanted to gamble with him, but things didn't go quite as planned: "I took his money... And let me tell you something, he's a trash talker. But he ran into a buzzsaw because so am I!"
Don's White House escapades are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his life of excess and debauchery. The actor has been married five times, including to Oscar nominee Melanie Griffith, whom he began dating when she was just 15 years old! Talk about a scandalous affair.
But that wasn't all - Don's personal life is riddled with other juicy secrets. He has three children with his current wife, Kelley Phleger: Jasper (22), Deacon (19), and Grace (25). However, he also has four other kids from previous relationships, including 35-year-old Dakota with Melanie Griffith.
Don's wild ride continues to this day - the actor is currently starring in ABC's medical drama Doctor Odyssey, although his show hasn't been renewed for a second season. Not to mention, three crew members have filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Disney and 20th Century Studios, citing alleged mistreatment on set. Yikes!
Despite all the controversy surrounding him, Don remains unapologetic about his checkered past. As he told Kimmel during their conversation, "Well, I don't know about him [Jimmy Carter]. I don't want to cast any aspersions on the former president... God rest his soul." Oh, Don - always one for a clever quip!
