Zack Sharf Jamie Lee Curtis forged a strong enough bond with LaKeith Stanfield during the making of Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” that she personally contacted the actor last year when she heard from a mutual friend that he was thinking about sobriety.
Stanfield revealed in a new interview with GQ magazine that he struggled with alcohol addiction, which resulted in crippling anxiety whenever he stopped drinking.
The Oscar nominee said he hit a low point during the 2020 filming of “The Harder They Fall.”“I had become completely dependent upon [alcohol],” Stanfield said. “To the point where I wasn’t able to move or function a whole day without having it.”Curtis and Stanfield did not share many scenes together in “Knives Out,” but they formed an instant connection on set after meeting during a break in filming.
Stanfield was smoking a cigarette, and Curtis approached him in an attempt to get him to quit. “I probably said something to the effect of ‘You’re a gorgeous, talented, smart, young father with huge opportunities ahead of you: Don’t fuck it up by dying of cancer that you can prevent,’” Curtis told GQ.Stanfield ended up quitting smoking, and he’d hear from Curtis years later during another time when he needed a push toward a healthier lifestyle.
