Gay Former Child Star Tells Oprah About Meth Addiction

Remember Danny Pintauro? He was the adorable little kid who played Judith Light's son Jonathan on the 80s sitcom "Who's the Boss?" It's hard to believe he's almost 40. It's even harder to believe that he had a crystal meth addiction.

On an episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" airing Saturday on OWN, Pintauro speaks with the queen of talk about his own experience with crystal meth and the danger that it poses to the gay community.

"My goal is to make that known that this is a big problem and I'm not okay with it," Pintauro told Oprah in a promo spot. "I've been in it so I know."

Exposing the dark underbelly of the drug culture, he tells Oprah, "There are websites that are built for people just to connect with people who are doing crystal meth." He added: "As a community we should not allow that to happen."

Pintauro's past drug use had long been rumored since he was spotted in 2007 on the gay hookup site Manhunt, posting nude photos with a profile describing himself as "sexy, passionate, fun, verbal, obedient (and) open to anything."

It's been an interesting road for Pintauro since "Who's The Boss?" went off the air in 1992. In 1994, Pintauro went to college at Stanford University where he studied English and theater, graduating in 1998. In 1997, he confirmed everyone's gaydar suspicions by coming out publicly after the National Enquirer told him they intended to out him. In 2014, he married longtime boyfriend Wil Tabres. The couples resides in Las Vegas.

According to RichestCelebrities.org, he is worth $300,000.
