He has openly spoken about being exposed to drugs and alcohol as a child, something that would go on to shape much of his life.
His father battled addiction, while his mother also struggled with alcoholism. In a shocking admission, he revealed that his father introduced him to marijuana when he was just a child — something his father would later deeply regret.
”I passed him a joint. And suddenly I knew I had made a terrible, stupid mistake … giving a little kid a toke of grass just to be funny,” the father once shared.
Over time, those moments created a confusing emotional bond. He once explained, ”When my dad and I used drugs together, it was his way of showing love for me in the only manner he knew.”
Despite the instability at home, he was already stepping into the spotlight. As a young boy, he appeared in small roles in his father’s films, making his acting debut at just five years old. By the time he was seven, he had already taken on another role, showing early signs of the career that would later define him.
