Zach Galifianakis Does ‘Heroin’ On Bill Maher’s ‘Real Time’

Zach Galifianakis did ‘heroin’ on live television on Friday, taking a hit on Bill Maher’s ‘Real Time.’

Promoting his new film ‘The Hangover: Part II.,’ Maher decided to make Galifiankis live up to his hard-partying character’s ways and experiment a little with heroin.

To up the ante from Galifianakis’ infamous October appearance on the show, during which he lit up a fake joint to advocate for the legalization of marijuana, Maher took out a tray of heroin for the star, who was instantly game.

Of course, the heroin was fake, but it was another memorable TV moment for the wacky duo. And it definitely got an awkwardly-laughing response out of the audience.

Mario’s Arrest Related to Mother’s Drug Addiction

Remember when we reported that Mario was arrested for assaulting his mom? Well apparently there’s another side to the story.

Radar Online is reporting that Mario’s physical and verbal outbursts in his luxury high rise stemmed from the singer’s frustration with his live-in mother’s drug addiction. A documentary made in 2007 entitled “I Won’t Love You To Death” followed the mother and son as he tried to help her quit heroin, but it’s become clear that her journey towards clean living isn’t quite over.

Police were called to the apartment after they received complaints of a disturbance at Mario’s home. When the cops arrived on the scene, they discovered shattered mirror and glass and a broken door. Mario’s mama was found waiting in the lobby while her son fumed in their shared living space a few storeys up.

Mario’s legal team is describing the run-in as “an unfortunate incident between a loving son [and his drug-addicted mother].”

We feel bad for Mario as this is obviously a tough issue for him to face, but violence is never the answer!

Jack Black’s Bad Heroin Trip

Jack Black has admitted to a one-time experience with heroin.

The “Kung Fu Panda” star told Blender magazine: “It didn’t agree with me. I couldn’t really feel my legs, and my heart felt like it was slowing down too much. I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s going to shut me down. I’m going to die.’ I went down to the 7-Eleven at the bottom of the hill, and I had this strange sensation that my legs were pumping, but the feet were just sort of lifeless stumps. I did a little shopping and then walked back up the hill and survived. And never did it again.”

Black has recently opened up about his troubled childhood, when he used to sniff glue and steal money from his mother to buy cocaine before the age of 15.
