Josh Peck was almost a tragic cliché — and he knows it! And now he’s opening up about it like never before.

Looking back at the beginning of his days as a child star, doing standup comedy that led him to Amanda Bynes‘ sketch comedy hit The Amanda Show, he says he was teased mercilessly about his weight:

Luckily, he’s been sober since 2008 and doing better than ever. He’s also found a great outlet in social media — gaining popularity on both Vine and YouTube — being himself. He told the mag:
Now that he’s a grown 35-year-old man with a wife and 3-year-old son, he’s finally made peace with his teen self. He concluded:
Wait, happily ever after?
