Jason Biggs, who shot to fame at 19-years-old in American Pie, is shedding light on the depths of his past addiction—revealing he once snorted cocaine out of a trash bag. The 47-year-old actor recalled often using drugs in secret after his wife, actress Jenny Mollen, had gone to bed. One night, after snorting coke at 4 a.m., he decided to toss the half-used bag into a trash can outside his Hollywood home. But the temptation didn’t stay buried for long. “I went outside and I climbed into the bin and got the bag of coke out and went upstairs and did another line,” he said on the Well with Ariel Lorre podcast. He then drove down Sunset Boulevard and threw the bag into a bin outside a stranger’s house—only to turn around on his way home, return to the garbage, and fish it out again for another hit. Biggs eventually got sober in 2017—the same year he and Mollen welcomed their second son. Now years into recovery, Biggs said sobriety has been liberating: “There is a freedom that comes with not having to do those things anymore.”
