“She got to date me right out of [drug] recovery, which is what they call a reverse catch,” the 39-year-old actor joked during his appearance on “Late Night with Seth Myers.” The comments were noted by Yahoo.com in a piece published Wednesday.

“I’m always very happy to be your friend and I’m very happy to be in your presence and this year, I was lucky to spend a lot of time with you, and it was a real roller coaster,” Meyers shared “But I’m very happy you’re on the other side of it. I am so happy for you and Olivia, this is very exciting news. I love you very much and I’m glad you’re doing well.”
