During an interview with GQ for their 2024 Man of the Year edition, John Mulaney—who sought treatment in rehab in December 2020—discussed his battles with drug addiction and his road to recovery. The 42-year-old comedian recounted a harrowing experience in his NYC apartment where he overdosed on cocaine, thinking he was about to perish. Mulaney described that evening by saying, “I just sat on the rug and gradually calmed down.” He then realized, “This is insane. I’m going to have to significantly cut back.” However, as he shared, “That was a Tuesday. And by Thursday night, I had relapsed.
In early 2021, John Mulaney and Olivia Munn rekindled their relationship following his stint in rehab. Later that year, she announced her pregnancy with their first child together. Munn mentioned that during this time, she was observing a “sober” Mulaney, but admitted they weren’t close enough for her to offer support. However, she expressed that the upcoming baby brought a sense of joy and lightness to him.
During her sixth-month pregnancy, Munn arranged a small intervention aimed at supporting Mulaney’s recovery process. They mutually decided that Munn would conduct occasional drug tests on Mulaney. The couple, now married, continue to follow this approach, which Mulaney finds comforting and liberating. He appreciates the assurance that this practice provides, stating, “There’s a sense of relief.” Moreover, he enjoys knowing that there’s no doubt in Munn’s or anyone else’s mind about his commitment to recovery. Mulaney further explained, “Undergoing those tests makes me feel like I’m taking the steps necessary. It boosts my confidence.
