Jason Mewes recently spoke up about his substance addiction over the years and shared a sad story involving his best friend, filmmaker Kevin Smith. After being silent for 11 years, Mewes spoke about his struggles on the latest episode of the podcast, Steve-O’s Wild Ride!
According to the actor, Smith saved him by forcing him to get sober several times for his health so he could act in the latter’s movies, including Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Mewes mentioned:
“I remember me and him sitting out in front of his house, and he’s crying, saying ‘I want to let you in, but the whole family is here.’ And I had on a tank-top on, and I had track marks. And he’s like, ‘I can’t have you see them like that.’ And I’m like, ‘I can’t come in for a plate of Thanksgiving dinner?’ And he’s like, ‘You can’t. Here, I am going to bring you some food.’ That was the first time I got sober for a while.”
The Clerks II star said that Kevin never judged him or made him feel inferior while he was struggling. Smith also paid for the treatment and just wanted the podcaster to get clean and be a member of the family.
