Louis was also an adherent of laxatives, specifically one called “Swiss Criss”. He used to send out Christmas cards with a pic of him on the toilet, holding a box with the caption “Leave it all behind you”. He also gave a box of Swiss Criss to the Queen of England during his tour there.

I have such a signed card from him.

Louis was so popular that crowds of people would be in his dressing room. To make them go away, he would walk around the room, naked.

If that’s true (and I’m guessing it is), it’s an incredible story.

If it’s not, it’s still an incredible story.
