Was Macchio on cocaine during filming?


… Or was Daniel’s jitteriness a creative choice?

Someone check the visitors' log at the White House and see if there was recently an R. Macchio on the premesis.

Whinielle was so hopped up on cocaine that a crapshack got him excited. Imagine how he’d react being at the White House?? He’d probably consume a whole sandbox of cocaine and strip naked and run into the Oval Office “Isnt this great Mr President! Look at all this stuff… this couch… this desk.. YOU OWN IT!”

This reminds me of that Family Ties episode where Alex takes speed to help him study for school and his dad wakes up in the am and wonders who dug the ditch out back and did all these different things overnight. So funny.

Macchio was the Hunter Biden of his time. It was reckless of him to be all coked out in front of the underaged Robyn Lively. He’s lucky camera phones and social media didn’t exist back in ‘89.

Under the pretense that the movie was made in the '80s, yes.
