Mr Grant had struggled with substance abuse in recent years and his marriage had fallen apart.
He told the Mirror in 2014: “I’ve been on cocaine and it has just got worse. I’m drinking and smoking what I can get. I’m all right but I do need help.”
“I don’t know what I want at the moment. I had money, I blew it all, I spent it on drugs and prostitutes.”
He added: “I’ve spent a lot of money on drugs and prostitutes, money from the films.”
“I don’t know what I want at the moment. I had money, I blew it all, I spent it on drugs and prostitutes.”
The rest he just wasted...................
Is that a “Little Oscar” he’s holding?

You have to wonder how people like him, who seem to have it all, get so screwed up. And he’s not the only one.

Hollywood.
Just too sad.
People Mag had a nice article about him a couple of months ago. It was inspiring, how he overcame his disabilities to become a prominent actor.
May he rest in peace.
So, in other words...
...he went out happy.
