AJ McLean Recalls The First Time He Did Cocaine Before Video Shoot For ‘The Call’

etcanada.com:

AJ McLean was very open about “being an addict” and the first moment he did cocaine in a new interview. The Backstreet Boys singer spoke to People about hiding his substance abuse problems for years before seeking treatment. “I never really had a desire for the drugs, but being an addict — to me, that word encompasses everything,” McLean said. “I was introduced to cocaine literally the night that we shot the video for ‘The Call’.

It was the first time I ever tried it because it was a late-night shoot. I was with a ‘friend’ at the time — who’s clearly not a friend anymore — and offered it to me.

I said, ‘No.’ Then I caved and I did it.” RELATED: Cheryl Burke Reveals She And ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Partner AJ McLean Bond Over Their Sobriety
