John Mulaney: Comedian’s Cocaine & Alcohol Addiction Reportedly Takes Him To A Rehab!

Fans of well-known comedian John Mulaney have been pretty worried since the last couple of days as multiple reports suggested that he has checked in to a rehabilitation center due to his drug and alcohol abuse issues.

The news about the 38-year old comedian entering a treatment facility for 60 days first came out via The New York Post’s Page Six and has been doing the rounds of the internet since then. However, no one from John Mukaney’s family, friends, or team has confirmed the news or responded to the ongoing discussions.

Since When Has John Mulaney Been Addicted To Drugs And Alcohol?

John Mulaney discussed his alcohol and drug issues in a number of interviews in the past. He had revealed that he started consuming alcohol at the age of just 13 years and later went on to get addicted to drugs including prescription drugs and cocaine. But, he reportedly overcame his addiction till the age of 23.

Mulaney, who is known for his fantastic work in Saturday Night Live, admitted that he started drinking for attention. Around the time when he turned 12, he just didn’t know how to act anymore but before that, he had been a very outgoing kid. So, he started drinking and felt normal again.
