Last year, the 38-year-old comedian told Esquire that he ‘loved cocaine’ and ‘drank for attention’ as early as age 13.
‘I was really outgoing, and then at 12, I wasn’t. I didn’t know how to act. And then I was drinking, and I was hilarious again,’ John said in his cover story.
‘I never liked smoking pot. Then I tried cocaine, and I loved it. I wasn’t a good athlete, so maybe it was some young male thing of “This is the physical feat I can do. Three Vicodin and a tequila and I’m still standing. Who’s the athlete now?”‘
As a teen, Mulaney’s parents sent him to a psychiatrist, who told him he was ‘one part nice kid, one part gorilla that wants to kill the other half.’
