Jack Black reveals heroin experience

Rex Features

Jack Black has confessed that taking heroin caused him to go on a late-night shopping spree.

The actor admitted that he experimented with the hard drug but was so terrified by the experience that he never touched it again.

He told Blender: "It didn't agree with me. I couldn't really feel my legs, and my heart felt like it was slowing down too much. I thought, 'Oh my God, it's going to shut me down. I'm going to die.'

"I went down to the 7-Eleven at the bottom of the hill, and I had this strange sensation that my legs were pumping, but the feet were just sort of lifeless stumps.

"I did a little shopping and then walked back up the hill and survived. And never did it again."
