‘This is absolutely insane’: Jason Biggs reveals he climbed into trash cans to retrieve cocaine during his rock-bottom addiction days

American Pie actor Jason Biggs has opened up about his intense battle with drug addiction, sharing a particularly dark moment from his twenties when he repeatedly retrieved cocaine from garbage bins. The 47-year-old actor made these revelations during a recent appearance on Arielle Lorre’s Well podcast.

According to Hindustan Times, Biggs detailed a troubling incident that occurred at 4 a.m. while his wife, Jenny Mollen, was asleep upstairs in their Los Angeles home. After doing what he intended to be his final line of cocaine, Biggs attempted multiple times to dispose of the remaining drugs, only to retrieve them repeatedly from various trash containers. His story echoes other celebrity struggles, similar to moments when stars have publicly hit “rock bottom” before finding recovery.
