‘Of course I smoked marijuana!’ Elliott Gould on stardom, Streisand and Elvis Presley

The best review ever received by Elliott Gould – renowned actor and star of M*A*S*H and The Long Goodbye; not to mention, Ross and Monica’s dad on Friends – was from Groucho Marx.

 

The two of them had become close in the comedian’s latter years – so close, Gould says, “he used to let me shave him”. One day Marx asked Gould to change a lightbulb in his bedroom. Gould took off his shoes, stood on the bed and replaced the broken bulb. Marx told him: “That was the best acting I’ve ever seen you do.”

 

Gould, now 81, has been telling the story for decades – but it is clear even in our pixelated video call that it still delights him.

 

“Isn’t that great?” he says, his distinctive nasal, New York baritone now deepened with age.
