When on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 28, Ringo Starr was asked a lot about his life through a series of "true of false" statements. A man like Ringo Starr has amassed many many stories over the decades, including the myth that he's never eaten a pizza. Which turned out to be true, by the way, thanks to his several allergies.
Another story that Jimmy Kimmel wanted more clarity on was whether Starr's first time getting high was with Bob Dylan. After a moment, Ringo Starr simply answered, "yeah."
"He gave it to you?" Kimmel followed-up.
"He didn't personally hand it to me, he had a friend of his in the room who actually handed it to me," Starr clarified. Whether or not Dylan passed the blunt, Starr still got very high with him.
"Did you love that experience?" Kimmel then asked, to which Starr adamantly confirmed.
Ringo Starr And Bob Dylan Got So High They Forgot About Their Room Service
Like every story about someone getting high, this one included food and something they forgot. Classic.
"After we'd like sat around in that room smoking," he elaborated. "I came out that room into the living room of the hotel, and we'd forgotten we ordered room service."
"So this guy came wheeling in a couple of trolleys for the four of us, and it was like 'oh, okay, yeah good,'" he said after impersonating themselves with the weed munchies.
"You know, cuz it makes you a little hungry," he joked, referencing weed's infamous reputation of making one hungry.
Despite devouring what the room service offered them, he assured everyone that he "still didn't eat a pizza."
It's not just pizza he's shied away from, however. Starr also revealed that he's never eaten a curry. As he's allergic to "several items," he doesn't want to take a gamble with such foods. "You don't know what they're putting in it half the time," he said about pizzas.
I mean, you could have a look to see exactly what's on the pizza. Considering the severity of his allergies, however, he gets a pass.
