Kevin Costner was pressured into trying cocaine in the early days of his career.
The 69-year-old actor was offered the Class A drug by crew members on one of his first projects, and he reluctantly accepted after being pushed into it several times in a club.
Speaking on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast, he told host Dax Shepard: "The electricians came over like rock stars. They were prepping it, strong like [Dax], you know, the whole thing. They were there for three weeks just stringing cable and then sets were being built.
“At one point, they take me back into the grip room and say, ‘Here,’ and they put out a little line of coke.
"And they say, like, ‘Thank you for all you're doing for us.
"So, I do that and nothing, and I do it a second time and I do it a third time."
