Mulaney checks into rehab

COMEDIAN John Mulaney has checked into rehab for 60 days for alcohol and cocaine addiction.

A source exclusively confirmed to Page Six that the 38-year-old current golden boy of comedy checked into a Pennsylvania rehab facility this past weekend.

Netflix stand-up star and former “SNL” writer Mulaney has been open about his past struggles with sobriety, telling stories of his partying and drug abuse from a young age.

The source said, “John’s friends and family are happy that he’s finally getting some help and focusing on his health. His fans know he’s struggled in the past with sobriety. He has talked about it openly. Unfortunately, he has struggled again during the pandemic. He’s onboard . . . he’s not fighting rehab.”

In an interview last year, Mulaney revealed he began drinking at 13. “I drank for attention,” he said. “I was really outgoing, and then at 12, I wasn’t. I didn’t know how to act. And then I was drinking, and I was hilarious again.”

He told Esquire that his drinking also prompted him to start using drugs. He says he “loved” cocaine and dabbled with prescription drugs. “I wasn’t a good athlete, so maybe it was some young male thing of ‘This is the physical feat I can do. Three Vicodin and a tequila and I’m still standing,’ ” he said. “Who’s the athlete now?”

After years of blacking out and even drinking perfume, the tipping point was a 2005 bender when he was 23. He said, “I was like, ‘You’re f - - king out of control.’ ”

Mulaney said he was sober for many years after that. But earlier this month he revealed that he had taken a role as a staff writer on Seth Meyers’ show for the sake of his own mental health. “During quarantine, I was like, ‘Why am I going totally crazy, and why am I suddenly telling my own wife my accomplishments?’ ” Mulaney said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” “I really needed a job.”

A rep for Mulaney did not comment.
