In January 2016 the father of five opened up to television personality Dr Mehmet Oz about his past attempts to quit drinking, People reports.
“There was a stretch where I didn’t drink for 11 years,” he said. “No cocaine, no booze for 11 years. So I know that I have that in me.”
But, he said, he fell off the wagon after he was diagnosed HIV-positive.
“It was to suffocate the anxiety and what my life was going to become with this condition and getting so numb I didn’t think about it.
“It was the only tool I had at the time, so I believed that would quell a lot of that angst. A lot of that fear. And it only made it worse.”
The actor recently visited the Moonlight Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park in Australia.
“To the good people of Melbourne and Sydney; thank you, thank you! thank you!” he shared in an Instagram post. “Nothing but love at every turn! To be continued . . . #moonlitsancuary.”
