Anthony Bourdain final texts before death reveal he HATED ‘being famous’

Anthony Bourdain left something shocking.

In the days before committing suicide, Anthony Bourdain battled celebrity and heartache, according to a new book.

Journalist Charles Leerhsen included text texts made by the late celebrity chef in his final days that shed light on his psyche in an unofficial biography titled "Down and Out in Paradise: The Life of Anthony Bourdain."

“I hate my fans, too. I hate being famous." According to a New York Times article, Bourdain wrote to his ex-wife Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, who had grown to be one of his close confidantes, "I hate my job, I am lonely and living in constant uncertainty.”

Leerhsen also notes in the book, due out Oct. 11, that Bourdain and his then-girlfriend of two years, Asia Argento, often had fits of jealousy.

In the next book (due out on October 11), Leerhsen also states that Bourdain and Asia Argento, his then-girlfriend of two years, frequently experienced jealous outbursts.

The CNN host had seen images of Argento, 47, dancing with French journalist Hugo Clément in a Roman eatery the two frequently visited five days before his passing in June 2018.
