HOPPER LEAVES SCHOOL IN A BLAZE
Actor DENNIS HOPPER was so angry after a disagreement with his former teacher as a teen, he tried to light his school on fire.
The Easy Rider star admits he was a troublemaker growing up - but he insists he didn't intend to harm anyone with his dramatic exit.
Hopper remembers: "I tried to burn the school down when I was 14 or 15. I got caught smoking, and my answer was to pour lighter fluid down the hallway and light it.
"It was just for effect. But it was very effective - I got kicked out of school."
