He's a proper friend, if you call him then he calls back immediately."Hopper also gained another important thing from 'Rebel Without a Cause' - acting lessons from his co-star the late James Dean.He added: "As an actor, he totally changed the way I worked. I thought I was the best young actor in America, if not the world, when I met him. Then I realised I was nowhere near as good as him.""He taught me some basic stuff. Like, 'If you're going to drink something in a film, drink it. If you're going to smoke something, smoke it. Just do it as you would off set.' That was such good advice."
