Samuel L. Jackson Opens Up About His Drug Addiction: ‘I Had Moved Into The (de)Basement’

The (de)Basement’ –

Dec. 24, 2024 – Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most famous actors of the age—he’s not the highest grossing actor of all time for nothing! But before he garnered worldwide fame, the Star Wars actor was a drug addict , and in a recent interview, he revealed that his addiction got so bad that it nearly destroyed his marriage. Jackson started acting back in the 1970s, and has consistently booked major roles in award-winning films, like Goodfellas , Jurassic Park , Star Wars , Pulp Fiction… 

In the 1980s, he was frequently drinking heavily, using marijuana and LSD, and abusing cocaine. This trickled into the 1990s, when he finally had a wake up call: his wife and daughter, then aged 8, found him unconscious at their home in New York City surrounded by drug paraphernalia. After this, he was determined to get sober.
