Overview
- De Angelo, in interviews published Tuesday, said he now drinks occasionally after months without alcohol.
- He said hypnotherapy helped him stay sober for a period but did not keep him abstinent.
- Despite a COPD diagnosis in 2016, he said he still smokes 10 to 15 cigarettes a day and that his lung specialist sees no progression beyond Stage I.
- He revisited his July 2025 alcohol-related drive, which led to a one-year driving ban and a €50,000 fine.
