Jack and Cocaine (-)

Сюжет кино: Jack Black is famous for his lighthearted comedies.

However, his own past is darker than his fans might realize.

The comedian told Parade magazine that as a teenager in Los Angeles, he struggled with substance abuse.

"I remember just lots of turmoil from that time period,” he said. “I was having a lot of troubles with was hanging out with some pretty rough characters. I was scared to go to school [because] one of them wanted to kill me. I wanted to get out of there.”

Black, 46, said that as a result, his parents enrolled him in a new school that specifically dealt with "troubled youth." While most of the students were there because they'd been expelled from their previous schools, he wanted to be there "to press the restart button."
