LARROQUETTE WAS PAID IN WEED FOR ‘TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’

John Larroquette’s very first acting gig was to provide the opening narration for Tobe Hooper’s 1974 ”Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” The actor did so as a favor, but a popular internet rumor has long claimed he also received a little weed for his troubles. While speaking with Parade, Larroquette confirmed the weed rumor as “totally true.“

“He gave me some marijuana or a matchbox or whatever you called it in those days,” Larroquette recalled. “I walked out of the [recording] studio and patted him on the backside and said, ‘Good luck to you!’”

Larroquette returned to provide narration for several of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies,” including the recent Netflix sequel – but he revealed that he’s never actually seen any of them. “I’m not a big horror movie fan,” he said.
