A Continuous Battle: Matthew’s Lifelong Struggle with Addiction

Matthew’s journey through addiction and recovery has been fraught with life-threatening incidents, as detailed in his candid accounts. One such near-fatal event occurred around November 2020, during a rehab stint, when his heart stopped for five minutes. This critical situation necessitated life-saving CPR, albeit resulting in eight broken ribs.

This incident not only posed a significant health risk but also impacted his professional commitments, including missing scenes with Meryl Streep in “Don’t Look Up.”

Reflecting on his efforts to overcome these challenges, Matthew revealed the staggering financial and personal cost of his journey towards sobriety, amounting to an estimated $9 million.
