Wednesday, August 12, 2026 - James Buckley’s wife, Clair, has revealed that the Inbetweeners star has not completely given up alcohol despite a recent health scare that forced him to rethink his lifestyle.
Buckley, 38, recently discovered he has high levels of lipoprotein(a), an inherited risk factor associated with cardiovascular problems. The diagnosis prompted him to cut back on alcohol and make changes to his diet after a health check raised concerns.
Clair has now offered a candid update on how difficult those changes have been, admitting that her husband is still drinking. Buckley had previously spoken openly about being told to rein in his drinking and acknowledged that the diagnosis had forced him to reconsider habits he had once joked about on his podcast.
He has also reduced takeaways as he works to make healthier choices following the warning from doctors.
The revelation adds a more personal dimension to Buckley’s health story, particularly after the actor admitted that he faces a higher risk of a cardiovascular incident because of his genetic condition. Rather than keeping the issue private, the couple have discussed the lifestyle changes publicly, giving fans a direct look at the reality of adjusting to an unexpected health warning.
With Buckley also preparing to return as Jay Cartwright in a new Inbetweeners movie, his health choices are likely to remain a major talking point as he balances work, family and a very different approach to his lifestyle.
