Dennis Hopper's son was upset when Jon Stewart joked about his dad's drug habit while hosting the Oscars.
Teenager Henry failed to see the funny side when Stewart suggested the actor "didn't know" where he was, referring to his apparent memory loss caused by past substance abuse.
Hopper, who had taken Henry to the ceremony, said: "I think Jon's terrific. I think it's better to be noticed than not. My 17-year-old son was upset by it. He said, 'Don't they know you?'
"He's never experienced that with me since I've been sober for 24 years. It's not exactly a new joke".
