Hollywood is the land of fame and excess. It is a place where your wildest dreams can come true and, upon coming true, completely wreck your life. Many of Hollywoods ‘bad boys and girls’ have become famous for the way their drug rehab stints and drug addiction treatment programs have played out in the tabloids. Guys like Charlie Sheen or Jason Mewes have famously been in and out of rehab like valets in a parking garage, to nobody’s surprise. But there are stars out there who have surprised us by their need to enter into drug treatment centers. Let’s take a look at 8 celebrities that you just won’t believe had to go to rehab.
Daniel Radcliffe
Harry Potter wasn’t just focused on broomsticks and Voldemort. As it turns out, young Daniel Radcliffe didn’t have as easy a time dealing with his early fame as many might have thought. Radcliffe admits candidly that he ended up becoming a ‘party focused guy’ that used alcohol as a means to coping. His on screen performance in several of the later Harry Potter films is notable due to the fact that Radcliffe admitted to being ‘mostly intoxicated’ throughout the filming. Daniel managed to get himself into rehab, clean up, and get back on the straight and narrow again.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers
One of Hollywood’s youngest and exciting talents, Jonathan Rhys Meyers broke a lot of hearts when he had to go spend some time in rehab for his problems with alcohol abuse. The ‘Dracula’ star claimed that he would be drinking before 10AM every morning with his problems culminating at JFK airport where he was kicked off of a flight. The reason? He had drank so much vodka for his ‘breakfast’ that he was slurring his speech, yelling, and even spouting racial slurs. Yikes. Meyers checked himself into rehab 6 times up to 2011 before he was finally able to kick his habit.
