Don Johnson<\/a> says he didn\u2019t sleep for five years while starring in \u2018Miami Vice\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Don Johnson says he didn\u2019t sleep for five years while starring in \u2018Miami Vice\u2019<\/p>\n

The 73-year-old actor was propelled to global fame playing James \u2018Sonny\u2019 Crocket on the cop series from 1984, but insisted the whirlwind he experienced after taking the part was mainly more work, and not all partying.<\/p>\n

He told Parade magazine: \u201cAt the time, there were only three or four networks and we were getting like 40 million people a week watching our show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are the kinds of numbers that people would lose their minds over now. \u201cSo I didn\u2019t sleep for five years. I was filming most of the time, and then on the weekends I was shooting magazine covers, and then occasionally \u2013 when no one was looking \u2013 I was out partying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Five-times married dad-of-five Don, whose nuptials have included remarrying his third wife Melanie Griffith<\/a>, 65, before their second divorce in 1996, added about his history with women: \u201cWell, to be fair, it seemed like I had a high number of marriages, but I always just married the same girl twice.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cYou know, I\u2019ve had a big life. That period of my life is a blur, and yet I remember phenomenal things happening.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt was a magical time. I found myself invited to the White House, I found myself meeting the Pope. And some of the actors we launched in \u2018Miami Vice\u2019 are a who\u2019s who of big stars today: Bruce Willis, Michael Chiklis, Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts, the list goes on.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI mean, I\u2019m a farm boy from Missouri. It was a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDon, who is now settled with his wife of 24 years Kelley Phleger, added he was a \u201cwild thing\u201d in school \u2013 but that side of him got him into acting.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: \u201cI was very inventive, I got in a lot of trouble, I got kicked out a few times.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI graduated from Wichita South High School and that\u2019s where my life took a turn. I was in a business class right after lunch, and about the third day in (the teacher) goes, \u2018If you fall asleep in my class one more time, I\u2019m gonna ask you to leave.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe next thing I know, I wake up and she\u2019s telling me to go see the counsellor who says, \u2018Well, it\u2019s either play football and take another semester in school, or there\u2019s this drama and speech class… .\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
