On Friday night, Michael Douglas stopped by “Real Time with Bill Maher” to promote his mammoth memoir “One Helluva Ride,” chronicling the acclaimed actor and producer’s rise through the Hollywood ranks, from winning the Best Picture Oscar for producing “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” to winning the Best Actor Oscar for “Wall Street” to the present-day.

The book also covered “sex, drugs and rock and roll,” as he told Maher, including how Douglas helped pay for college by smuggling marijuana across the country in fancy suitcases gifted to him by his actor-father Kirk Douglas.
