Arthur Logay paired with Anna Karelina managed to get a cup on the floor of “Dancing with the Stars”After that, the young actor began to appear more often in interviews and share details from life outside the show.
So, in an interview “Glory +” with Slava Demin, Logay admitted that for a long time he was in serious dependence on gambling.
The actor said that he first tried to play a slot machine when he was only 12 years old. Then the boy saw nothing wrong with having extra pocket money.
The future actor realized that the hobby had grown into an addiction only when he began to steal jewelry from his mother’s house. This happened when Arthur was about 15-16 years old.
At some point, Logay realized that he could not cope with a dangerous hobby. At some point, despair reached the level where Arthur decided to commit suicide by cutting his veins. At that time he was 18 years old.
This crap is annoying in the head, every time you walk, step over and as if you are constantly cutting your finger. At some point, I realized that it was painful for me, that I didn’t want to, ”the actor admitted.
Arthur managed to cope with addiction on his own. Then he loaded himself with work and often traveled to different cities of Ukraine for work, where there was simply nowhere to play, and upon arrival in his native Melitopol, he also tried to devote all his free time to earning.
It seems to me that there is no common one recipe. People who suffer from gambling addiction, suffer from drug addiction, all this is individual and depends on internal readiness, says Logay about the way to combat addiction.
Leaving Melitopol, the actor had huge debts for gambling – several thousand dollars. According to Logay, he continued to pay off debts until the moment when he began acting in “Kiev Day and Night” (2016-2019). The actor admits that he still gives some money to his parents.
