In an Exclusive ENQUIRER INTERVIEW with the late JAMES GANDFOLINI he revealed his debauched drug filled, boozy and sex-crazed lifestyle that may have caused his sudden death at age 51.
The Sopranos star went one on with The ENQUIRER’s executive editor of news, Barry Levine, in a no-hold-barred interview in 2002 speaking candidly about his drugs and booze nightmare after bombshell charges were made by his wife Marcy during their divorce proceedings.
“God, I can’t believe I’m doing this,” he told The ENQUIRER. “I’ve watched celebrities do this. It’s like a rite of passage. But I’m clean and sober now. I’m done with everything.”
In the interview Gandolfini said he hit rock bottom with his substance abuse three years earlier in 2009 before he started back on the road to sobriety. But there were moments he struggled in his battle against drugs and booze.
