The life of the renowned chef also went through great ups and downs. In an intimate interview with “The Guardian” he declared that not everything in his life was pink as many painted it. He admitted to feeling like an unhappy soul and had suffered a series of addictions to hard drugs such as heroin and crack, which he began to use in his 20s. He also indicated that he believed he had overcome all that dark phase of his life and regretted very much having mistreated and behaved badly with cooks, waiters and kitchen assistants because of his problems controlling his anger. Bourdain said: “It’s terrible to make people feel like they’re stupid for working hard for you.”

Anthony was also known to be a feminist activist. Since he started dating Asian girlfriend Argento, the first actress to declare the abuses that Harvey Weinstein was performing against many women, Bourdain came closer to this fight. The chef took drastic measures to promote gender equality in the gastronomic field and short-term relationships with several chefs who were intrusive on allegations of abuse.

Anthony Bourdain was dealing with a strong depression for a long time. In another interview with People, the chef declared that he had the responsibility to stay alive since his daughter was born in 2007 so as not to leave her alone. Similarly, he admitted that he had contemplated suicide on several occasions but that he had been able to “overcome” this stage and that he now felt relatively happy and tried to see the things in life that were really worth living. The chef had the unconditional support of his partner, Asia Argento, who thanks to her made him feel stable. Unfortunately, the chef could never leave behind his past and his life was overshadowed by suicide.
