Paris Hilton Says ADHD Is Her Superpower


Paris Hilton has written a moving essay about living with ADHD, and says that, while growing up with the condition was challenging, it’s helped her career too

“My mind was constantly racing, jumping from one thought to the next, like a pinball bouncing around inside my head or a Ferrari with bicycle brakes (a metaphor Dr. Edward Hallowell, MD once described to me). Now a mom of two — son Phoenix was born in January 2023, while daughter London came along just 10 months later, in November of the same year — Hilton, who is married to entrepreneur Carter Reum, admits that her busy life can be overwhelming. Hilton first mentioned that she had ADHD — or ADD as it was more commonly known then — in an interview with Larry King in 2007 following her release from a 45 day jail spell for driving without a valid license (it had been suspended in 2006 due to a DUI charge).
