January 31st, 2024

Drew Carey, an American comedian and actor, has shared personal details about some of his worst days.

In his Friday interview on Max’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”, the 65-year-old host of “Price Is Right” talked about his attempts to end his life when he was 18 and in his early 20s.

“I think the suicide attempts were calls for help,” he remarked according to Entertainment Weekly.

“I was furious that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.” I recall that.

“I recall thinking, ‘What the hell are they so happy about?’ as I was walking down the stairs and saw that everyone was drinking.”

“I was just angry that they were so happy,” he continued. I was simply fed up with my lot in life and wondered, “Who’s going to miss me?”

“I was furious that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.” That’s something I recollect,” he said.

The comic acknowledged that he still gets the occasional “Who’s-gonna-miss-me?” thinking.

I find myself thinking to myself a lot. As in, “I’m just going to have my body cremated if I die.” He went on, “No funeral and nothing related to, like, all my mementos and stuff.”

He told Wallace that his success has molded him into a more confident person.

“[Fame has] changed a lot of things for me. Like, don’t take things personally,” he stated

“I took everything personally. If somebody wrote a bad review, I’d be like, ‘What the hell? Coming after my money?’”

“All that’s gone.”
