HBO execs ‘were concerned’ about ‘Sopranos’ star James Gandolfini ‘staying alive,' book claims
Fox News
The claim about James Gandolfini was made in a new book titled “Tinderbox: HBO’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers” written by journalist James Andrew Miller.
For the book, former Time Warner chairman and HBO CEO Jeff Bewkes spoke with Miller about execs who were allegedly worried about the actor "staying alive" during the mob drama’s six-season run.
"We were concerned about Gandolfini staying alive," said Bewkes, as quoted by the New York Post on Thursday. "Occasionally he would go on a bender or a coke binge. We had to stop production."
