Steven Yeun, 'The Walking Dead' star Reveals going ‘HAM’ with DRUGS

Steven Yeun is sober now.

The 39-year-old Nope actor opened out in a recent interview with WSJ. Magazine on his experience with drugs after he became famous for his acting.

He explained to the magazine that the drugs "slowed down" his mind and prevented him from overthinking things, which he said was "really effective and necessary."

Yeun, who rose to fame after portraying Glenn Rhee on The Walking Dead from 2010 to 2016, remarked, "I came to a lot of things late." He continued by saying that he "went a little HAM with that stuff to make up for a lost time."

According to him, the medicines "slowed down" his thinking and kept him from overanalyzing things, which was "very effective and necessary," claimed in an interview with the magazine.

"It's the way I've been since I was 4 when I got dropped here and my brain went into a hyperdrive of self-defense," explained Yeun. "I can obsess over something. I can be taken down by thoughts."

He claimed that his attention has changed away from that stuff now that he is a father to a 5-year-old son named Jude Malcolm and a girl he and his wife Joana Pak welcomed in 2019.

"My entire life is Peppa Pig and Pokémon," he quipped.

Yet, Yeun told WSJ that she is still a little intrigued by psychedelics.

"It's becoming standard to do DMT [dimethyltryptamine, a hallucinogenic that naturally occurs in many plants] or lick a toad. I haven't done that, but I'd like to, at some point."

Yeun isn't the first famous person to acknowledge a trip; HGTV's Christina Hall and former professional boxer Mike Tyson have acknowledged smoking bufo toad venom.
