Mr. Wild was Drunk the whole time during filming??


Jack didn't seem drunk to me, he seemed pretty normal!!!

That came later in his life.

if you look on the trivia on this site, it says "Jack Wild later admitted he was drunk every day of filming"

Mr Wild could certainly hold his drink then.

Its that man again!!

I don't doubt it for a minute. I had to see this since I loved Jack Wild at the time and noticed he kept mouthing everyone's lines. I realized he had reached the end of his career.

He admitted he was drunk “every day”, but that does not mean he was drunk all-day.

You start drinking at some point after work and basically drink yourself to sleep. That can easily happen every day of a shoot (and he'd be in good company.)

It's an excuse for not performing well, for not bringing his “A” game - not that he was drunk on-film.
