John Mulaney Checks Into Rehab For Alcohol, Cocaine Abuse: Report

John Mulaney has decided to get some help for alcohol and cocaine addiction and has checked into rehab for 60 days, a report says.

An unnamed insider told Page Six that the "Saturday Night Live" alum, who has been open about his struggles with sobriety, checked into a rehab facility in Pennsylvania over the weekend. He allegedly relapsed during the lockdowns following a decades-long battle with addiction.

"John’s friends and family are happy that he’s finally getting some help and focusing on his health," the source said.

"His fans know he’s struggled in the past with sobriety, he has talked about it openly," the insider continued. "Unfortunately he has struggled again during the pandemic. He’s on board with his recovery, he’s not fighting against rehab."

Mulaney's rep declined Page Six's request for comment.

The comedian opened up about his struggles with alcohol and drugs in his interview with Esquire last year. He admitted that he spent the entirety of his teenage years and the early part of his 20s as an addict spiraling out of control.

Mulaney said he began drinking when he was 13 to deal with the awkwardness of adolescence and couldn't stop because "alcohol is addictive."

"I drank for attention," he added. "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."

Mulaney started using drugs soon after he learned to drink alcohol.

"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?" he said.

When he was a teenager, Mulaney's parents sent him to a psychiatrist, who told him that he was one part nice and one part "gorilla that wants to kill the other half."

Mulaney first became sober at age 23 after deciding that he no longer wanted what he had observed in himself. He claimed he was able to flip without using any recovery program.

"But yeah, I was like, You’re fucking out of control. And I thought to myself, I don’t like this guy anymore. I’m not rooting for him," he said.

Mulaney had been sober since but struggled again during the pandemic. He touched on this when he appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" earlier this month where he explained how the lack of routine affected him negatively.

"During quarantine, I was like, ‘Why am I going totally crazy and why am I suddenly telling my own wife my accomplishments?’" he said. "I really needed a job."
