On the topic of his DUI, John told Howard Stern that he was not worried about his career in the aftermath.
“And that’s the problem. I went home after that. It was horrible, Howard. I could have killed somebody. it just makes me sick to my stomach. Seeing myself in handcuffs, that’s not the kid my parents raised. My parents were good, and I was disrespecting my childhood because it was beautiful,” he said. “I went home, and you know what I did? I drank another bottle of wine by myself.”
He continued, noting that he had to film for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 the very next day.
“I was just with Rita Wilson and Nia [Vardalos] in Greece, and I realized… I forgot that the next day they said, ‘Oh, you’ve got to go to Toronto, you’re in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,’” he said. “I’m like, ‘What?’ I don’t remember being on that set.”
He continued, noting that he was sent to rehab by his family “as soon as I came back from Toronto.”
