White foam/spittle on Downey's lips.


Did anyone else catch this? Weird. Was it supposed to make him look sickly or on drugs?

I have known many degenerate drug addicts, and I have never seen white foam on their lips.

It's the "crust " it happens to users of differnt drugs . Stimulants give you very little saliva . Also with downers such as benzos you get dried saliva .

Hmm...considering he was being pimped out to gay men, I don't wanna know what that white stuff was.

Coke makes you have severe dry mouth, so it was extremely realistic, and repulsive!
