SUMMARY
– Angelina Jolie’s biography is full of bitter experiences: she used to suffer from anorexia and depression. However, by the time she got the lead role in the Lara Croft movie, Angie was already ‘clean.’
– Following the well-deserved success of Downey Jr.’s performance in Iron Man, the time came for the actor to start dictating his own contract terms to the Hollywood bosses. Still, who knows what prestigious movie awards Robert might have won were it not for those years lost to addiction.
– At the beginning of her career, Adele used to worry a lot about how she looked onstage. To gain courage, she started to drink before her shows. Gradually, this habit turned into a real problem.
– “Alcohol almost killed me. If I hadn’t stopped, I would’ve been lying somewhere in Mexico now. At best — in a gutter, at worst — buried under some cactus.” Today, Hopkins is 79 years old, and he has been sober for 41 years — almost half of his life.
– Drew became wildly popular at too young an age, and, unnoticed by herself and others, she became an alcohol addict at 13. Slowly but surely, she was making a reverse transformation: from a beautiful swan to an ugly duckling of Hollywood. Countless scandals, tantrums, and overdoses eventually led the actress to an eight-month stint in a rehab clinic.
– What helped him to eventually climb out of the pit of drug use was the sense of responsibility for his daughter and his two foster daughters. Today Eminem is a model father, with music being his sole addiction.
– Kristin Davis. The actress used to suffer from acute stage fright, so she started to drink for courage. Little by little, by the time she was 25, Kristin had turned into a full-blown alcoholic.
– The success of the Harry Potter films prevented the actor from leading a normal life, and he began sinking into depression. During the shooting of the last chapter in the saga, Daniel often appeared on set drunk.
– Samuel felt drawn to acting since early youth, so he chose to attend the Faculty of Drama at the Morehouse College in Atlanta. After graduation, he dabbled in film, theatre, and television but without much success: directors simply refused to work with him because of his alcohol and drug problems. In the late 1980s, the actor ended up in a rehab center.
– Kelly surely inherited the tendency for self-destructive addictions from her great and terrible dad, Ozzy. Add to this psychological problems, and what you get is a young celebrity who consumes dozens of pills every day, sometimes mixing them with other substances.
– Looking at the singer now, it’s hard to believe that Sting was once a big fan of alcohol and hallucinogenic substances. And yet, at one point in his life, this had indeed been the case.
– “Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll!” This used to be young Steven’s lifestyle and credo. Back in those days, there was hardly any popular rocker around wilder than him. But, after 20 years of carousing, Tyler finally managed to get rid of his addictions with the help of his second wife.
– Sir Elton John started using drugs in his youth to overcome shyness. Gradually, friends and loved ones turned away from him. Even his mother eventually left the country. Then, in 1975, Elton almost died from an overdose.
– Britney Spears’s rise to stardom began in early childhood. First it was singing in a choir, then TV show appearances, and finally a solo career. Recording three crazily successful albums in three years, keeping to a tight schedule, earning money and fame — all of this propelled Britney into a violent period of drug taking, alcohol abuse, and family scandals.
