Ex EastEnders star James Alexandrou: I smoke weed

But actor insists he’s never bought drugs

Friday, 13 June 2008

Former EastEnders actor James Alexandrou admits he’s taken drugs.

The star, who played Martin Fowler in the BBC soap, made the confession after a photo of him smoking cannabis appeared on Facebook.

‘I was at a dinner party and a spliff was rolled, which I had some of to be sociable,’ he explains.

‘I have never bought drugs myself and I smoke weed very rarely.’

And James, 23, insists the incident was blown out of proportion because he’s been seen partying with Amy Winehouse, 24.

‘It isn’t something I normally do and I feel that, because of the coverage surrounding Amy Winehouse’s drug problems at the moment, anyone associated with her is subjected to scrutiny,’ he says.

‘Unfortunately for me, I have been made to look like I’m a regular drug-user, which is certainly not the case.’
