Jason has managed to live a dignified life in a short span of time in Hollywood, living a comfortable life in a beautiful and luxurious house in the posh area of Hollywood Hills.

Jason Mewes was born to a single mother, who was a drug addict and a fraud who often used Jason in her petty activities and crimes. Jason’s exposure in this type of environment as a child affected him badly, which extended far too long in his life. While he was in high school, Jason became best friends with Kevin Smith, an aspiring director, who has subsequently helped Jason Mewes in every step of his life, including the initial and crucial part of his career as well as personal life.

More recently, he has worked in the movies “Scream 3” and “Bottoms Up”. All these projects have contributed extensively to Jason’s net worth. Currently, Mewes has been co-hosting a podcast entitled “Jay & Silent Bob Get Old” along with Kevin Smith.

Jason lived a dark life off the screen into his twenties, as he became addicted to substance abuse. This habit went on to become extreme and even caused estrangement from his best friend Kevin Smith.

As part of his continuing recovery, Mewes and Smith co-host a podcast – “Jay and Silent Bob Get Old”, discussing drug addiction problems.
