Richard Branson admits: 'I smoked drugs with my son'
Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson has revealed that he has taken drugs with his son.
The extrovert billionaire says he smoked cannabis with model son Sam, now 21, during a surfing holiday in Australia.
Sir Richard, 57, "I went with my son on his gap year. We had some nights where we laughed our heads off for eight hours."
"I don't think smoking the occasional spliff is all that wrong. I'd rather my son did it in front of me than behind closed doors."
In the interview with Piers Morgan for GQ magazine, the entrepreneur also admitted trying cocaine and ecstasy.
In the interview, Sir Richard also described how he became a member of the mile-high club with a married woman.
He told Morgan: "I was sitting in economy on a Freddie Laker flight, next to this very attractive lady, as we headed to LA.
"We got chatting and it went a bit further. And it was every man's dream, to be honest. I was about 19, I think.
"I remember getting off the plane and she turned to me and said, 'Look, it's slightly embarrassing but I am meeting my husband at arrivals, would you mind holding back a bit...'.
