Bobby Farrelly, who along with brother Peter Farrelly has directed numerous hit comedies like There’s Something About Mary and The Heartbreak Kid, has confirmed his 20-year-old son Jesse lost his battle with drug addiction this week. Jesse died Wednesday of an apparent drug overdose. He was reportedly found in a Cosa Mesa, California apartment.
"It is with profound sorrow that we accept the passing of our beloved Jesse following his struggle with addiction. We fully trust that he is now in the hands of our Lord," the Farrelly family said. "We are immeasurably grateful for the abundance of happiness and laughter he brought into our lives, and we will rejoice eternally for all the moments we got to breathe in his wondrous spirit. The family thanks you for your well wishes and kindly asks that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
No other details were released. The Farrelly Brothers’ Three Stooges remake starring Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso is scheduled to hit theaters this April.
