Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel thought he needed alcohol to have fun: “I became so reliant on (alcohol) to enjoy stuff. There were a few years there when I was just so enamoured with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me. I really got away with that because there were many instances when a shot like that could have been taken. I’m actually enjoying the fact I can have a relationship with my girlfriend where I’m really pleasant and I’m not f**king up totally all the time. As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully. I’d just rather sit at home and read, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh. There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life. And that’s been the realisation of the past few years for me.”
Johnny Depp
Johnny used to drink his way through parties: “My drug of choice was alcohol more than anything – hard liquor, spirits. It’s very difficult to see the ignorance of it when you are spinning around in it. But when you are doing that to yourself, it is to avoid feeling. There is a degree of me, me, me that you can’t escape. And it might have had the facade of being recreational but even then I knew it wasn’t. I’d go to these functions, and back in those days I literally had to be drunk to be able to speak and get through it….you get liquored up or whatever and then once you are in that spiral you don’t even get hangovers any more. You wake up and have a drink again.”
