Zac apparently once complained of a pain in his side and asked doctors to remove his gall bladder so he could have access to heavy painkillers. He was also thrilled to receive drugs after a brain tumor was removed from his head.

The article says Zac snorted and smoked OxyContin, shot heroin intravenously, smoked crack and did "whippets," which is inhaling bursts of nitrous oxide for a short-lived high.

Zac was eventually arrested for possession of crack and driving while intoxicated, and then he decided to turn his life around.


Zac loves a tough woman

Zac says he is a sucker for good style and loves a woman with curves who is both tough and confident.

Zac also hopes to find a woman with hobbies and goals of her own so that her entire life isn't wrapped up in their relationship.



What is Zac's dream excursion?

Zac would love to travel to Italy and eat his way through the country one day. But in terms of what he won't eat, he hates fruit! (But he still loves desserts).
