Matt hooked on cannabis at 13
01.02.07|The Sun Newspaper online - the best for news, sport and showbiz

MATT WILLIS has revealed he was off his head on dope in his BUSTED years – and that he got hooked on weed at THIRTEEN.

The I’m A Celebrity winner has confessed he was a slave to the drug until two years ago, when MTV presenter girlfriend EMMA GRIFFITHS forced him to get clean.

After the pop punks split up in January 2005, “Beer Matt” checked into rehab clinic The Priory, with everyone assuming it was just for his heavy boozing.

After all, he had just won my Caner Of The Year title for his 2004 antics.

But now he has admitted the Priory stay was also to conquer a chronic dependency on marijuana, which he had been smoking for eight years.

He also says he only quit the herb after Emma threatened to leave him.

The King Of The Jungle explained: “I used to be hooked on weed. I began when I was 13 and by the time Busted made it big I was accustomed to it.

“I smoked it every single day. It was a way of life.

“You become immune to its effects, or at least you think you do, when suddenly you find yourself turning a bit weird.

“If I smoked, I’d become paranoid and forget everything.

“My memory was shot to pieces. I had no confidence. I always felt I was bad with people, but it was because I was always stoned.

“It was New Year 2005 when I gave up. Me and Emma were making New Year’s resolutions and she told me if I had another joint she would leave me. I realised I needed to do something and when she threatened to never speak to me again I took action. The Priory did nothing for me. I hated it.

“I left after two weeks. You’re supposed to be there for a month but I’d had enough.

“Emma was the one who helped me kick my addiction and I will be forever grateful.

“It has made me appreciate things so much more now I’m off the drugs.”

It makes you wonder how many things go on that we don’t know about.

No-one had a clue Matt was a stoner when he was up on stage every night.

I’m glad he saw sense and kicked his habit.

How come there are never articles about people addicted to fast food? After all, its much more dangerous than cannabis, and is a psychological addiction, just like any addiction to cannabis. Why isn't there an article somewhere about Rosie Odonnell being addicted to choclote chip cookies? I mean, that would be AT LEAST as newsworthy as this article?

Talk about quitting for all the right reasons

Ok matt .. put down the script and walk away .. I'm suprised he didn't say "stay in school"

Sounds like someone needs an excuse ...

I'm glad he quit ... Teens should not be using any mind altering drugs.

No one should be smoking pot, drinking alcohol, or even smoking a cigarette at the age of 13. He also said he smoked everyday.

There was that movie out called "Supersize Me" Did you ever watch it? It was a documentary some guy made about 3 years ago i think, showtime aired it a few times. The guy did an experiment, ate nothing but Mcdonalds everyday, his goal was to go a month eating nothing but Mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner while getting checkups from his doctor. By the time day 15 or 16 arrived, his doctor said his liver was beginning to get damaged or somethin. Eating nothin but fast food everyday was like an alcoholic getting liver damage. He also said that he started to feel a craving for the food(addiction)

Some people really do eat fast food just about everyday, maybe not for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but i bet a few people go to a fast food place a few times a week or everyday to get something.

Who would have imagined that a guy who abuses alcohol and his body is also an abuser of marijuana? It's not a stretch to say that this "celebrity" is simply a media whore. Thirteen-year-olds should be playing sports and trying to figure out girls, not smoking pot every day.

It's the personality, not the drug, Stupid!

"a chronic dependency on marijuana"

anyone else find this amusing?

and the bit where his girlfriend threatened to leave was kinda funny (in the way that usually you make a resolution for yourself... maybe it's no that funny... I thought it was funny)
