Edward admitted that he “didn’t have too many people looking out for me and I was left to run wild”, referring to his rise to fame when he was just a teenager.

According to him, the addiction started with marijuana and alcohol, and then turned into cocaine.

“When I was high, I had camaraderie with other people. Just drinking and partying. All of a sudden, I felt like I was with people and I fit in somehow. That’s how it started,” he explained.

Edward went on, “I was shooting loads and loads of heroin, meth, smoking DMT all the time. That’s the way I was all day. It’s amazing I’m still alive — there were a couple of close calls.”

He added that he “definitely OD’d but that’s the cycle, you know. Once you get in there, it’s so hard to see a way out. That’s what I’d want people to understand — there is a way out but it’s hard.”

Now though, Edward says that he’s “not hungover and wondering what I did last night. There’s so many awesome things and reasons I do it for. I hope to keep it up.”

Getting sober he says was “the greatest thing I’ve ever done,” and now he’s focusing on repairing professional relationships he ruined when he was high.

“I f***ed over so many people when I was on drugs, gaining back the trust of the people that work with you when you’ve flaked on them so much is a long process,” he shared. “It’s like the friendship that happens after a bad breakup – people are learning to trust me again. It’s great and things are slowly starting to get going again.”

In 2019, Edward returned as John Connor in the Terminator franchise.
