According to the internet dictionary (UrbanDictionary) specifies a coke nail as:
“one significantly longer fingernail on one or both hand(s), most often the pinkie nail, which is for scooping up powder cocaine and snorting it. This is commonly referred to as doing a bump. The nail becomes the vessel as opposed to needing an item to snort a line of coke through; ie, a straw, rolled up dollar bill, etc.”.Definition Of “Coke Nail” By Neuroscience Geek, Via Urban Dictionary
Most of us are oblivious to the existence of the ‘prosperity’ pinky and its nefarious uses. That all changed in 2012 with the release of an expose on Carrie Fisher (Star Wars, Princess Leia) opening up about her drug addiction.
This is no surprise if you were to see the photographs snapped during filming of Star Wars, The Return of The Jedi. Since its release, netizens have questioned which celebrities grew coke nails?
These behind-the-scenes film-set pictures show Fisher as Leia and Harrison Ford as Han Solo in the pilot’s seats of a hijacked Imperial shuttle as they draw up the controls to leave for the forest moon of Endor.
The hand of Fisher’s that is resting against Ford’s shoulder sports an extra fingernail on her index finger.
This is telltale signs that Princess Leia’s has a “coke nail” A.K.A. “fleek nail,” the fingernail she filled up with cocaine used it as an organic key bump.
Upon further inspection with a carefully trained eye, you may recognize the same length fingernail on the hands of Bob Ross.
We can see an example above in the picture of Bob Ross holding a baby raccoon.
Did Bob Ross Use His Long Nails To Do cocaine?
If you there are two things to know about Bob Ross is that he was a passionate painter and a Vietnam veteran.
So we can speculate that he may have had a dual purpose for this long finger at one time. The primary (arguably sole purpose) of his long nail used as a tool to help with painting.
What other famous Hollywood icons were filmed sporting the coke nail? (Long fingernail that’s allegedly linked with cocaine abuse?)
Suspect: Grandpa Joe From Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
His actual name was Jack Albertson and was a lifelong musical performer. Before embarking into Broadway he was a member of the Dancing Verselle Sisters, and somewhere in between he probably learned banjo; hence the long pinky fingernail.
