If Jérémy Ferrari (real name Jérémy Larzillière) is one of the most gifted comedians of his generation, he also has his dark side. The 37-year-old comedian has struggled with alcohol issues.
In an interview with Konbini in March 2022, Jérémy Ferrari had a terrible revelation about his alcohol consumption: “In one day, I could drink, without any problem, six liters of wine. People think it’s impossible to drink six liters of rosé, but in fact, you don’t realize it (…). I took large shakers. I put in ice cubes, I crushed them at the bottom, I took a bottle of rosé and I filled the shaker. I drank it ice cold. A shaker like this is practically the entire bottle of rosé. I could drink that in half an hour, no problem.”
Wishing to turn the page on these dark years due to alcohol and drug abuse, Jérémy Ferrari posted a message of hope on Twitter on Thursday July 7: “Remember that it is possible…“, he accompanied by an image worthy of a fireworks purple background where is written: “You are 6 years sober.“What to give strength and hope to anonymous people who know (or have known) problems with alcohol.
In an interview with Paris Match in February 2020, the comedian revealed in the show We only ask to laugh on France 2, had also revealed another addiction, that of drugs. Worse, Jérémy Ferrari did a suicide attempt in a hotel in Aix en Provence. “When I was alone in my bed at night, I wanted to diedid he declare. So I tried to hold on with the alcohol and the drugs. The psychiatrists put my despair on the account of alcohol, stress, notoriety (…) I did not want to become this accursed artist who destroys himself. Following this, the 37-year-old comedian checked himself into rehab and surrendered to Alcoholics Anonymous.
