Mighty Ducks actor Shaun Weiss took to Instagram Wednesday to reassure fans that he’s been staying clean and sober, after some said they were worried that his disheveled appearance in a previous clip indicated he had relapsed.

‘I’m OK, you don’t have to worry about me but thank you – it’s very sweet,’ the 45-year-old actor said in a clip on the social media platform Wednesday,

Weiss, who played the role of Goldberg in the hockey-themed Disney films, said that he had not broken his four-year streak of sobriety.

Weiss addressed concerns that there was a red substance on his forehead, noting that it was ‘consecrated ash from’ the famed Yoga practitioner Sadhguru.

The Montvale, New Jersey native wiped the substance off of his head in a clip, telling followers, ‘Alright, OK is that better for you?’

The actor, who has been plagued with drug and legal problems in the past, was seen in a previous clip in which he declared his gratitude for being able to work in the entertainment industry.

‘I get to go out and fly to Florida and hang out with fans and have an amazing weekend and I get paid to do it,’ he said. ‘This is an amazing life: Thank you very much, that is ridiculous and I look forward to seeing you guys out there.’

Weiss also spoke with TMZ about the concern from fans, telling the outlet that he remains focused on staying sober moving forward.

‘If I ever need help I promise I will reach out to people,’ he said. ‘No going backward.’

Weiss told the outlet that the ash was part of a ‘spiritual practice’ he’s involved in that’s ‘been a game-changer in terms of [his] overall balance and levels of joy.’

Weiss has been candid in his journey to sobriety, speaking publicly about his past addiction to drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine, which left him dealing with homelessness at one point.

In a September 2022 interview on the YouTube channel Addiction Talk, Weiss said it had been ‘hard to see’ images of himself when he was in the throes of addiction looking ‘horrible and deathly.’

In the interview, Weiss said that being a child star made him ‘an adrenaline junkie,’ which sowed the seeds of the addiction issues he would face in his future.

Weiss said he was moved by the concern shown toward him by fans, but is doing alright

‘Things were a lot more exciting for me than the average 13-year-old – taking trips and flying to places and being in movies,’ Weiss said of his childhood. ‘So I was very addicted to the excitement of things.

‘And when that went away, I didn’t really know how to get that feeling. And I found that in drugs.’

Weiss said that he had been gifted with a new set of teeth while at a sober facility after he lost his teeth amid his addiction.

He said, ‘This is a very serious problem … I was in horrible shape. I was probably going to die if those sheriff’s deputies didn’t step in and save me.’

Weiss on January 26, 2020 was arrest in connection with burglary and methamphetamine use in Yuba County, California, and subsequently ordered to rehab.

Weiss was arrested in connection with public intoxication in August 2018 in Oroville, California. Before that, in 2017, he was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he was arrested in connection with meth possession in Burbank, California.
