“I am a party animal,” Harrelson tells Vulture.  “But on the other hand, I haven’t … I’m now extremely moderate and … I actually stopped smoking pot almost a year ago.”

Harrleson hasn’t turned anti-weed.  “I think it’s a great drug, in terms of … Even cops say that the side effect is euphoria,” he says.  But he says that after “30 solid years of just partying too f****** hard,” it was time for a change.

“I feel like it was keeping me from being emotionally available,” he explained.  “I still drink.  Bu I try to be moderate with the drinking, too.”

Harrelson is starring in the new movie Wilson, out this week — an adaptation of a Daniel Clowes’ graphic novel about a middle-aged man who reunites with his estranged wife and a daughter he never knew. 

He’ll also be playing Garris Shrike in the upcoming young Han Solo Star Wars spinoff.
