Going Ape

Question: What’s big, hairy, and went ape-sh*t on the set of King Kong?Answer: Jack Black on ecstasy.
As if a giant ape weren’t enough to get Jack Black going in “King Kong,” the actor says he let loose one time while making the film.“I had a bit of a lost weekend while we were doing ‘King Kong,’” Black says in the January issue of GQ magazine. “Overall I’m very responsible on set. I’m not one of those dudes who come drunk to the set.“But there was a lost weekend where I had a little time off and I did some Ecstasy and I went on a kind of crazy rampage and I started smoking [again],” he says. “Me and another member of the cast, who will remain nameless, just running around, dancing around, drinking and Ecstasizing, smoking like a chimney. And then it was over.”
And I get the feeling that Black’s “ecstasizing” ways are not behind him.
The 36-year-old actor says he’s since quit smoking and is on a strict diet.
Anything missing?

there’s nothing too wrong about the lost weekend – everybody goes overboard sometimes – it’s talking to the press about it as if he has nothing to be ashamed of. Plus 36 sound about 14 years too old for that.
