Brock, who had advised his client against appearing on reality shows, said Conaway had a rough childhood.

“When he was 7 years old, his grand-mother let him taste the moonshine she made in her bathtub; when he was 10 and a child actor, his dad took all his money and ran away. Later, Jeff had a the world in his hand and would find ways to destroy it,” Brock told Reuters.

Brock said that in the last month, Conaway’s “Grease” co-star John Travolta offered to pay for the troubled actor to go to rehab.

“Jeff wasn’t opposed to it, but he wasn’t ready yet,” said Brock.

Brock said that since the news of Conaway’s hospitalization, his office has been flooded with calls from the actor’s childhood and high school friends, offering well wishes.
