“I was not to be depended on emotionally whatsoever, ‘cause I was a car wreck.”

As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations.

“The biggest consequence of my drug use was losing Emma. I was still impossibly coked up when she was born, which explains everything,” he said, adding, “I never saw myself as someone who deserved to have physical custody of Emma, not in a million years.”

Maybe I Do came out in 2023, and also stars Diane Keaton, Richard Gere, William H. Macy, and Luke Bracey. Before Maybe I Do, Emma starred in a bunch of movies and TV shows, including American Horror Story, Scream Queens, Wild Child, Nerve, and We’re the Millers, to name a few.
