Everyone needs a friend like Kevin Smith! During a recent appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, Mallrats star Jason Mewes opened up about how his Jay and Silent Bob partner played a huge role in his road to recovery from addiction.
As fans know, the filmmaker gave Mewes his first big gig in the indie film Clerks in 1994. They’ve worked together plenty of times since and formed a close friendship — so close, Smith gave Mewes some much needed tough love to help the actor get himself sober.
During his chat with the Jackass Forever star, Mewes said the director saved his life by strongly encouraging him to stay clean.
How? He drove him to rehab, paid for treatment, and even let the actor stay in his guest home to keep an eye on him. On top of all that, Smith made it a stipulation for Mewes to be sober if he wanted to be in his films like Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
