Spyder Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Don himself actually quit. Yes, there was that People magazine article in '87 covering Sonny and Caitlin's marriage, and it made mention of Crockett's chubbier-than-usual appearance, which DJ attributed to his quitting smoking in real life.

Administrators Ferrariman Posted August 25, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think he was eating a bread roll in the episode "no exit" just before Bruce Willis' wife organised to meet a hit man. Crockett was on his boat.I'll have to check' date=' but that does sound like I remember something like that.[/quote'] I believe Sonny was eating what looked like a hero sandwich. You can see it pretty clearly when he shoves the rest of it in Elvis' mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 It's a good thing I started this thread (I'm the king of starting threads by the way), as I really didn't realize that Crockett was shown eating so many things.I'm glad I started this thread.Everyone has come through on this, and proved that he DID in fact, eat on the show.

When he already started to lose it, the director called him again to retake some scenes. And after that he didn't have enough time to lose weight before MV shootings. Can't name the article now, but it has to be somewhere on this site. Don't know if it's true or not, though... It's kind of weird how we get so many different versions of everything.

Brenda Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Oh' date=' by the way... Spyder, do you know where to find the People magazine article you've mentioned?[/quote'] I'm not Spyder but I guess I can help you with this one as I read this article online a few weeks ago. It actually says: " Johnson, 37, appears chubbier than when he started the show four years ago, probably the result of kicking cigarettes." and it can be found right here: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20097654,00.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Now I remember that I've read this article too (though it was no harm for me to have this pleasure once again ), but probably didn't pay much attention to the "quitting smoking" part. Actually it doesn't say it in DJ's words, it looks like just a reporter's observation: "Johnson, 37, appears chubbier than when he started the show four years ago, probably the result of kicking cigarettes. " So the mystery is still unsolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aly 7 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 DJ smoked in "The Hot Spot".I think this film was made around 1990.He probably did quit,but must have picked up the habit again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes, he did start smoking again after Vice. (I remember an interview with him and Melanie Griffith, where the reporter described them smoking, and they also said that it was very hard for them both to quit). But I don't know the exact time period when it happened, so it's hard to tell concerning "The Hot Spot". (For example, Nash Bridges never smoked, but Don did at the time of filming the show, as far as I know.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 This is weird - he barely ate, in fact he just nibbled at food but in the first two seasons he smoked like a chimney! As a non-smoker I found it quite annoying although I must admit that the way he was lighting up his cigarette sometimes looked sexy I'm sure my reaction would have been different if I had smelt it - nothing sexy!
