While sharing insight into his pristine health, Severance star Adam Scott revealed he’s been sober for 12 years, noting, “I was never a big drinker.”
When it comes to a night of drinking, Adam Scott is outie.
In fact, the Severance star recently revealed that it’s been quite a bit of time since he indulged in any alcohol.
“I don’t drink,” Scott told Jake Shane during an Aug. 27 appearance on Therapuss. “I stopped drinking like 12 years ago and it wasn’t a thing. I was never a big drinker, I just kind of faded it out.”
Scott’s restraint when it came to liquor made total sense to Shane.
“That’s why you look so young,” Shane surmised. “It’s poison.”
To which Scott deadpanned, “Alcohol is poison.”
And while the Parks and Recreation alum didn’t venture too far into the details of his sobriety journey, he shared he was in tip-top shape. As he noted, “I haven’t been sick in two years.”
This is the first time Scott has detailed his more than a decade away from alcohol, but he has previously alluded to his lack of interest in alcohol and drugs. Last year, he admitted he took a bit too far on the Severance set out of fear his castmates would believe he was actively doing cocaine.
“I got this nosebleed that would not stop,” Scott said during a January 2025 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “No matter what we did, we could not get my nose to stop bleeding. It was disgusting and frustrating.”
Aside from the constant dribble, he admitted the ailment made him paranoid.
“When there’s an actor that has a nose that will not stop bleeding, obviously it’s cocaine,” Scott continued. “We all know that. I was just overcompensating and making way too many cocaine jokes, trying to reassure everyone that it wasn’t cocaine.”
Ultimately, the attempt backfired. As he put it, “For sure, by the end of the day, everyone thought it was cocaine.”
And when it came to solving his nosebleed issue, Scott ended up needing to get his nose cauterized.
"I asked the doctor, I was like, 'Is this—Is this going to hurt?'” he recalled. “And he's like, 'Well yes, but also the more challenging aspect of this will be the extreme feeling of pepper being shoved up your nose.’”
