<p>Actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/tom-arnold-gets-angry-news-congressional-shooter-hank-berrien/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Arnold</a> said that he warned the late actor and comedian Chris Farley about his drug use — especially coupled with his weight — staging an intervention and telling him at one point, &#8220;You can&#8217;t be super fat and do drugs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Arnold, who was himself well-acquainted with the ups and downs of addiction, was <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/05/tom-arnold-issued-a-stark-warning-to-chris-farley-before-his-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Farley&#8217;s</a> sober sponsor at one point — and he made the comments during an interview that was published Sunday on entertainment site Page Six.</p>
<p>&#8220;I told him early on, ‘You can’t be super fat and do drugs, that’s death. You’ve got to make a choice. It’s best you don’t do either but you cannot do both,'&#8221; Arnold recalled.</p>
<p>He described one time that Farley had come to visit him in Los Angeles, staying at his home — and when it was getting to be time for him to leave, he and a few others staged an intervention and begged the &#8220;Black Sheep&#8221; star to get help.</p>
<p>&#8220;He sits down and we tell him how much we love him and we want him to go to this rehab, it’s all set up,&#8221; Arnold said, flanked by fellow actor Rob Lowe and one of Farley&#8217;s brothers. &#8220;And he’s like, ‘I’m gonna do this but I need to run back to New York just to grab some stuff,’ and that means, go back to New York to get some more heroin.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was not until a therapist informed Farley that he would get drugs in rehab – to avoid seizures while his body was in detox — that he finally agreed to go. In total, Arnold said, Farley entered rehab more than a dozen times.</p>
<p>When Farley died in 1997 at just 33 years old, his death was attributed to an overdose of cocaine and morphine — but a buildup of fats and cholesterol known as advanced atherosclerosis was also listed on the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1998/01/03/chris-farley-died-of-drug-overdose/3706d464-bd7b-4d2e-a889-8be618e18293/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autopsy report</a> as a factor in his early passing.</p>
<p>&#8220;He did his best, it’s terribly sad. He had a lot of conflict with his Catholic religion. He really showed up in church all the time — and then being what he considered being a bad Catholic,&#8221; Arnold added.</p>
