Overview
- Anna Faris told Chelsea Handler on the Dear Chelsea podcast that she has stopped drinking and that sobriety has been one of the “many gifts” in her life.
- Faris said she noticed a clear link between drinking and depression and that she quit to “not self‑sabotage,” though she did not give a specific date for when she stopped.
- She credited a hormone patch with making a “huge difference” for her mental health and said the combined changes helped her feel more grateful for fans who recognize her comedy work.
- The announcement comes after fan concern about her appearance and behavior at the June Scary Movie 6 premiere when she reprised the role of Cindy Campbell.
- Faris framed the decision in the context of past struggles, saying perimenopausal depression and the intensity of working on Mom contributed to a period of declining focus before she stepped away from that series.
