Simon Pegg
Comedian and actor Simon Pegg told the Headstrong podcast how he was left in “kind of a wreck” whilst filming Mission Impossible III due to sobriety issues. Pegg told how he used alcohol as a tool to curb anxiety and nerves early in his life. Pegg admitted that he reached “rock bottom” when he stopped to have a drink on the way home from the airport after returning from a Comic-Con convention. He told how when he arrived at home he was unable to “disguise the mess” he was in from his wife. This specific event led to him seeking professional help and he is now sober and happier than ever.
