Steve “Steve-O” Glover has been sober for 8 years but that doesn’t stop the Jackass star from reliving some of his most outrageous, drug-filled memories. Steve-O sat down with GQ where he recalled that time he and Mike Tyson engaged in a three hour drug bender.
“I have so many fucking crazy Mike Tyson stories, man,” Steve-O tells GQ. “Oh my God. I’ve done f*cking cocaine with Mike Tyson, dude. We spent three hours locked in a bathroom together. There was this house party in the Hollywood Hills. And I remember I was distinctly not invited, but I showed up and rang the doorbell. Mike Tyson opened up the door. I said, “Hey, is it cool if I come in?” And he said, “You got any coke?” And I told him, “Yeah, dude, I got a bunch.” And I did. I had like a whole eight ball in one pocket, half an eight ball in the other pocket.”
“So there we are, and he asked me for a cigarette while I was chopping up a bunch of blow on the counter. He rolled it back and forth between his fingers and all the tobacco fell out, and he kept doing it until nothing was left except a tube of paper connected to the cylinder. And he turned it right side up and started scooping cocaine into it, like pure cocaine. Nothing but. And I’m fascinated. I’m thinking that can’t work. It boiled down to the most fucking gripping science fair project ever. He filled it until it was fucking full as fuck. And he made it work, man. He sat there and smoked the whole deal.”
So what else happens when Steve-O and Tyson get high? They have in depth conversations about randomness.
At that time in my life I would develop Tourette’s syndrome if I was fucked up enough, just blurting out inappropriate shit,” Steve-O tells GQ. “So I said to him, my exact words, “You know, Mike, I don’t have a racist bone in my body, but I like to consider myself a n—-r.” [laughs] I’ll never forget, he said, “You ask me, the definition of that word is anybody who uses it.” And I was like, “Damn! Iron Mike, deep as fuck!” And so we’re talking about the finer points of racism in America, or whatever, just sort of philosophizing about how to make the world a better place, and it was just fucking incredible, man. The last thing he said to me was, “You know, Steve, everybody’s got you wrong. You’re actually really smart.” And the next time I spent real time with Mike Tyson, one-on-one conversing, was when we were locked up in the psychiatric ward together.”
