Chapter 343 The more painful the more addicted
Jimmy's father is a screenwriter. Although he hasn't written too many famous works, he is still well-known in Hollywood. The ratings of several American dramas he participated in are not bad.

This is why Jimmy was able to act in movies at the age of five. His father's contacts allowed him to be exposed to this industry since he was a child, and also made everyone aware of his talent in drama.

Jimmy's career started off without a hitch, and his path as a child star allowed him to realize his talent step by step.

In terms of appearance, Jimmy is not the most handsome, but his audience popularity has always been good. Although Jimmy was only a young man in his 20s when he was nominated for an Oscar, most audiences felt that he deserved his name.

He has been in the industry since he was a child, and his career has been smooth sailing. He has been called Hollywood's lucky boy by the media more than once.

This is the Jimmy Kench in the eyes of the public before the DUI scandal broke.

Many people think that Jimmy accidentally drunk and drove because of Hollywood's riches and money. As long as he admits his mistakes and corrects them, he is still that promising movie genius.

But after Jimmy frequently broke the news of alcoholism and troubles, everyone realized that another Hollywood star of tomorrow was quietly falling.

Many people couldn't figure out why Jimmy would give himself up, but it was only a few days of sighing. People have seen too many such news.

Perhaps it is due to pressure, or it may be succumbing to desire. Hollywood has never been short of addicts of all kinds, and Jimmy Kench is just one of them.

When he gradually disappeared from the public eye, no one cared about who he used to be, and why he fell to this point. At most, he secretly said it was a pity when he was mentioned.

This is also the version that Yan Fuguang heard before, and now the story behind the scenes has surfaced for the first time.

"I drank for the first time when I was six years old..."

Jimmy's voice has softened a lot, but his story is very different from the word smooth.

One night many years ago, when Jimmy was a boy, he took a sip of white wine out of curiosity, and just happened to be seen by his father.

But the old Kench, who is a father, not only did not take the wine from his son, but instead mixed a large glass with Sprite and gave it to him as a drink.

Jimmy was only 6 years old that year, that is, under the temptation of his father, he tasted what he hated most in his life.

Old Kench is a complete addict. He is a screenwriter when he is working. This is also the rare time when he thinks normally. When he is not working, he is a lunatic whose body and mind are infinitely destroyed by alcohol and drugs.

Jimmy thought the "drink" mixed with Sprite was delicious, so old Kench often fed it to him. At first, most of it was Sprite, and later it was a whole glass of wine.

As for Jimmy's mother, he died when he was 5 years old. The cause of death was suffocation after drunkenness, and he even had a marijuana in his hand when he died.

"I grew up in a family where everyone was an addict."

Although Jimmy tried his best to hide it, Yan Fuguang could still hear the trembling in his breath.

Jimmy closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.

"My dependence on alcohol is like the smell of gun barrels. I have been addicted to alcohol since I was a few years old. By the time I realized it, it was too late."

Alcohol made him forget many things, but some scenes are still fresh in his memory.

When old Kench handed over the sweet "drink", maybe the smile on his face could be called love?
"Alcohol became the only connection between me and my father, and it seemed to be the only thing my father knew to express his love to me."

A lifelong obsession with childhood memories, Jimmy moved out of his father's house at 16, and even that didn't cut him off from his alcohol addiction.

Jimmy has always concealed it well, and his acting career is booming. He gave his acceptance speech on the stage of the Golden Globe Awards with high spirits, and strode onto the red carpet of Oscars to attract the attention of the world...

But behind the glamorous appearance, no one knew that he had to rely on alcohol to fall asleep every night.

Jimmy once thought that it would be like this for the rest of his life, and since he couldn't quit, there was nothing wrong with being drunk and dreaming of death.

He thought less and less of his father, and even seldom visited him after he became an adult, but what he didn't expect was that he would soon hear news of his father, and this time it turned out to be his death.

Old Kench's cause of death is not uncommon in the United States. He took an excessive amount of aspirin after drinking, which led to massive bleeding in the digestive tract. Two full days had passed when he was discovered.

Jimmy thought he wouldn't be sad, he thought he would feel relief, but it wasn't.

He has no mother for a long time, and his father is his only relative.

After old Kench left, Jimmy often wondered if his father loved him as a father loves his own children.

He doesn't know, maybe it's love...

But unfortunately, not everyone is qualified to be a parent, nor is everyone capable of raising offspring.

After learning the news of his father's death, Jimmy made up his mind to quit drinking for a while, but the double entanglement of will and memory made him unable to see the hope of success.

The death of old Kench hit Jimmy far more than he imagined. Not only did he fail to quit drinking, but he got lost in the vortex of alcohol getting deeper and deeper until he was arrested for drunk driving.

Oddly enough, it wasn't until his alcoholism was exposed that he finally experienced the relief he'd been seeking.

No more pretending to be nothing, no need to play the expected Hollywood star in the spotlight, he is just a rotten piece of shit inside and out, always has been.

He doesn't need the pity of the world, so Jimmy doesn't say a word about his past.

Sinking made him suffer, but the more he suffered, the more sinking he became.

Jimmy indulged himself even more, whether he was punishing his dead parents or himself.

Canaan Chung knew Jimmy a long time ago. After the Oscars that year, Jimmy was going to shoot Canaan Chung's new film, but Jimmy got involved in a drunk driving scandal.

Zhong Canaan didn't immediately give up the choice of the leading actor. He didn't know that Jimmy had been entangled with demons all year round, and thought that he just couldn't accept the shock of his father's death for a while and did something wrong.

He went to Jimmy himself, hoping that Jimmy could adjust his state, and his favorite actor was always the same.

It's a pity that Jimmy wasted this opportunity in the end.

Zhong Canaan appreciates Jimmy very much. Although it is a pity, there will be a next time if it doesn't work this time. He looks forward to the future cooperation between the two.

But what I didn't expect was that Jimmy never recovered.

As a friend, Canaan Zhong said he was not sad, but he was lying. He visited Jimmy many times, but Canaan Zhong couldn't do anything about Jimmy's depravity.

After that, Jimmy's friends stayed away one by one, but Zhong Canaan still remembered him and went to visit him occasionally.

Such a talented actor might die drunk at home one day without anyone knowing, Zhong Canaan couldn't bear it, so he said a word to Jimmy when he was sober——

If you can quit drinking, we'll work together again.
