No, he truly thinks the opposite. The insane drug use is to to forget it.
Many rich people turn to drugs because so many of the women, friends and sometimes family that “love” them are only after their trinkets. The richer and more famous, the worse it is. Especially in people born rich that never developed relationships prior to wealth.
The same thing goes for very beautiful women and people using them for sex.
Possessing extreme wealth or beauty often makes it harder to achieve the most important things in life. Things that you will never see in tabloids and MTV shows that promote meaningless possessions and sex 24/7.
As someone said: When you’re living with a 20 year-old porn star, it’s not hard to think you’re brilliant.
