Anna Faris is now sober after personally discovering a correlation between “drinking and depression.”
During an appearance on the “Dear Chelsea” podcast, Faris told host Chelsea Handler that in the past year, she began to feel “ungracious” about her comedy career and movie roles.
“I really started to notice and appreciate if and when people recognize me, they would usually smile … thinking about something f—ing stupid I did onscreen,” Faris said, which prompted Handler to bring up her sobriety.

“Do you think that has to do with not drinking? Because I know you stopped drinking. Maybe that lit that a little bit,” Handler said.
Faris confirmed that she “stopped drinking” and said “one of the many gifts” she’s gained since becoming sober is shifting her perspective.
“Turns out there’s a correlation between drinking and depression for me for sure. I had to take a step back to not self-sabotage,” Faris said.

The “Scary Movie” actress explained that her son is strong, which allows them to have deeper conversations.
“He’s impressive, actually. Because I try to challenge him. I’m like, ‘Do you think it’s a luxury that you get to be pro-life? Do you think that’s kind of a luxury?’ And he’s like, ‘Maybe.’ Or I’ll say, ‘What do you think of this megapastor that’s kind of a grifter?’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, megapastors are the worst.’ So it’s like, ‘OK, he’s getting there,'” Faris said.
