Jerry O'Connell's Wife Refused Touch Over Smoking
21 Feb
Summary
- Jerry O'Connell quit smoking 14 years ago through hypnosis.
- His wife, Rebecca Romijn, gave him an ultimatum regarding smoking.
- O'Connell paid $800 for hypnosis, initially doubting its effectiveness.
Actor Jerry O'Connell revealed his unique method for quitting smoking 14 years ago: hypnosis.
O'Connell shared on a podcast that after struggling with nicotine for years, he sought hypnotherapy, which proved successful. He has abstained from smoking for approximately 14 years.
His wife, actress Rebecca Romijn, also played a significant role by issuing an ultimatum: she would not touch him if he continued to smoke. This led to a two-month period of no physical contact, prompting O'Connell to seek help.
Despite initial skepticism and feeling that the $800 hypnosis session was a waste of money, O'Connell discovered he was unable to light a cigarette afterward. He and Romijn married in 2007 and have twin daughters born in 2008.
