It was Hollywood in the 80s I bet the entire cast was coked out of their heads every day

RDJ actually contributes his drug addiction to his childhood. His dad introduced him to marijuana when he was 6 or 8 or something like that. He was struggling with an addiction prior to this movie that just got way out of hand and more publicized in the '90s. Well, not "out of hand" but you know what I mean.

Is it safe to say at least on one take during filming that actual coke was snorted up? I def. think so. Or did they do it between takes?

There were only a few times actual lines were shown, it was mostly spoon bottle or crack. It's possible, probable that it was real at that time but for sure in the trailers between scenes. Pretty well known they all did then.

I know this is 5 years late, but RDJ was doing drugs before this movie, during this movie, and after this movie. I think he finally kicked his habit around the time he did the Sherlock Holmes movie or sometime before. But he started doing drugs at the age of 9. In fact, the scene where Julian is begging his dad for a second chance didn't require any makeup on RDJ. He just naturally looked that busted b/c he had been out partying all night before that shoot.

I believe he even blamed LESS THAN ZERO for relapsing. Which was childish because it's not like they forced him to play in this.

He was doing research for his role as Julian and became addicted for real. Yep, blame Less Than Zero for putting Downey's mouth on the barrel of the gun!

Rdj has said in multiple interviews that he barely remembers filming less than zero because he has high the entire time so he already had a drug problem prior to filming this.
