The Day Dennis Hopper Blew Himself Up (1983) – Rapid Descent Toward Completely Bottoming Out.
Actor/director/photographer/art collector Dennis Hopper was pretty much down on his luck in 1983 and decided to stage an old stuntman's ploy of "blowing yourself up". I am sure there is some danger associated with this act like what if the protective blast resistant backing you're nestled against gives way or the powder used in the explosive detonation burns you a bit. Anyway, Hopper chose to go through this publicity stunt to drum up some attention to a career that was faltering badly due to excessive drug use and drinking.
Hopper makes it out alive and probably needed a drink or some form of toot after the stunt got pulled off and he was still in one piece.
Better career opportunities did appear for the wild man actor and he resumed his film directing and acting gigs after he shed himself of partaking in mind altering substances. Good for him. He definitely wasn't getting anywhere with acts like this sideshow.
