Drake Bell looks to be in a bad place — inhaling from a balloon that appears to be filled with nitrous oxide … a troubling move that comes amid some tumultuous weeks for him.
The former child star was sitting in his car Tuesday outside of his L.A. home sucking on a fully inflated balloon. In one of the photos, you can see a cannister of some sort — which resembles a typical nitrous oxide container.

Of course, huffing nitrous is a dangerous but popular method of getting high — a few seconds of euphoria and head rush — without using hard drugs.

BTW … this is not Drake’s first rodeo with nitrous oxide — he was pictured doing the exact same thing back in December, and, in that instance his young son was in the car too.
And yes, inhaling nitrous oxide without a medical professional’s supervision or guidance is, indeed, bad for one’s health.

As we reported … Drake’s clearly been going through it of late. He told Twitter users last week that he was contemplating suicide after the trolling and attacks over his child endangerment conviction in 2021 — which has led to people labeling him a “pedophile.”
On top of that … his wife filed for divorce just a couple days prior, this after he was reported missing in Florida — only to pop up on the radar again in what turned out be a false alarm.
We know Drake has been thrust into a child custody battle with his now-estranged wife — and, apparently, it’s gotten so ugly behind the scenes … he’s been sending scary messages to his family that made them worry for his safety and his life.

The guy’s had a lot of ups and downs in recent years — everything from a choppy music career to even more legal issues like a DUI bust and bankruptcy.
As we reported, family members called police a couple weeks ago, because they were so worried about Drake. These images won’t ease those concerns.
Drake’s rep chose not to comment on the photos.
