Dennis Quaid Is Coming Clean

Actor Dennis Quaid is coming clean about his addiction to cocaine, and his relationship with ex-wife Meg Ryan.

The 64-year-old admits he started using cocaine when he first came to Hollywood. He told host Megyn Kelly on Today: “I was basically doing cocaine pretty much on a daily basis during the ’80s. I spent many, many a night screaming at God to ‘Please take this away from me, I’ll never do it again because I’ve only got an hour before I have to be at work.’

“Then about 4 o’clock in the afternoon I would be, ‘Oh, that’s not so bad.’ I had a white light experience where I saw myself either dead or losing everything that meant anything to me,” he said.

He hit rock bottom starring in 1987’s The Big Easy, when he was getting about an hour of sleep a night.
