The Bear's Matty Matheson Marks 11 Years of Sobriety After He Says Addiction Led to Heart Attack at 29

Matty Matheson detailed his previous life of "lots of drinking and doing drugs" in a recent 'The Guardian' article ahead of his sober milestone

Matheson recalled partying less for just a few months before “[turning] it back up.” He said friends banned him from their bars and his drug dealers cut him off until his loved ones held an intervention in November 2013 — two years after his heart attack. Making videos for Vice’s food-focused YouTube page Munchies helped him to pay back his friends and drug dealers, Matheson explained. Ten years of marriage, three children, three cookbooks, 1.5 million followers on his YouTube channel and many more accomplishments later, Matheson’s skills have been taken to the small screen for three seasons of The Bear.
