Do you know why Jims eyes often had very much dilated pupils? His eyes look almost black in some pictures..
And another question - Why was Jim sterile in the last years of his life?
Thanks
LUX
Answer Hi Lux.
Thanks for your question. James Douglas Morrison’s eyes were by nature, a blue colour. His pupils were dilated due to alcohol and drug use. Both alcohol and recreational drug use does this particularly over a long period and I am told that in some people it can be 40% or more that the pupils will dilate. I am informed though that none of the above will change the colour of your eyes but may appear so due to the pupils being contracted and could appear that way just by the camera shot itself in a photograph.
Booze was the main reason that Jim became impotent towards the end of his life. Alcohol affects the male sexual drive and performance in many ways, lack of erection, loss of interest in sex etc, you may have heard of a term called “Brewers Droop”? Mind you drug use on top of that would not have helped either.
Although it appears that towards the end Jim had eased back on drugs considerably but was drinking heavily at that point. He also had put on heaps of weight and his bad asthma had flared up in Paris and he was being treated by a Doctor so he was in a bad way on a few fronts.
Trust this has shed some light on the subject for you.
