Tom Sizemore is mercilessly candid about his affairs. On the mystery Hollywood star he slept with for three years, he says:
In 1989, I got a call from the assistant to a big shot in the industry – literally the biggest star in the world at the time – and was told, “She wants to meet you.”
‘When I got there I was brought into an anteroom and then this superstar walked in, sat down, and said, “So tell me about yourself.”
‘By the time I actually got into her bedroom, I wasn’t nervous, even though part of me was thinking, “You’re the biggest female star that ever lived – you’re a shot-caller. What the Hell are you doing here with me?” But I ended up sleeping with her. She liked me.’
On 18-year-old ‘wild child’ Juliette Lewis, his co-star in 1994 film Natural Born Killers, he says:
‘I knew Brad Pitt, her former boyfriend, so I’d asked him back then if it was OK if I went after Juliette. He said, “Is it OK? I’ll drive you there! I want to be your agent on this one!”
‘By the time Juliette showed up on the set of Natural Born Killers, I already had a huge crush on her. She was standing watching me and when the scene was done, she said something like, “Hey, Tom, that was really good. I’ve often wanted to be strangled to death.”
‘I said, “Whenever you want to be strangled to death, you know who to call.” Later that night we used drugs and had sex. We were at the Best Western getting high and for some reason ordered 29 bowls of corn flakes.When the movie wrapped, I spent a lot of time at Juliette’s $2.5 million Hollywood home, which had no furniture in it. She never wanted to leave, ever – not even to go outside. Essentially we were really high and really rich.’
On his then future wife, the tennis professional-turned-actress Maeve Quinlan, he says:
‘I saw what had to be the prettiest extra in the history of extras: she had blonde hair, beautiful teeth and an unbelievable body.
‘I was standing next to Woody Harrelson when I saw her. We started taking bets [on who would sleep with her first]. I said, “Robert”, talking about Downey. He said, “I bet it’s you or me – or maybe Oliver [Stone]. How about I go second and you go third?” And I said, “I don’t care when I go, as long as I get a chance.” ’
On taking crystal meth with former Hollywood madam – and one-time girlfriend – Heidi Fleiss, he says:
‘One of the first nights she came over to my house, Heidi laid out a little bit of [crystal] meth on the dresser in my bedroom. I did a line. Ten seconds later, I was flying.
‘It was the most intense thing I’d ever felt. I turned around and said, “Are you trying to kill me?” She didn’t answer because she was already taking off her clothes.
‘At that moment I want her more than I wanted to breathe.’
