In the interview, Sir Richard also admitted to experimenting with class-A drugs, and even taking Viagra. “I took ecstasy once … but it didn’t have a massive effect on me. Asked about cocaine, he said: “I suspect I’ve tried it, yes.”`
The tycoon also said the Rolling Stone Keith Richards was “the first person to teach me how to roll a joint”. He added: “I haven’t tried skunk, I have smoked cannabis though. I mean, I went with my son on his gap year, for God’s sake. We learnt to surf and had some nights where we laughed our heads off for eight hours.”
Explains a lot.

Maybe little children will stop saying that they want to be astronauts when they grow up. They’ll want to be Sir Richard. He gets to do everything astronauts do, but he’s rich to boot!

You can hardly be surprised about this.
Another indication of typical British prurience -
> Sir Richard also admitted to experimenting with class-A drugs, and even taking Viagra
Right - because taking heroin is nothing compared to the naughtiness (nudge nudge wink wink) of taking Viagra.
Honestly, what a non-story.
