1. Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. is a living proof that people with addiction can bounce back to achieve great things in their life. In fact, RDJ’s biggest achievement came after he recovered from his problems.
In 1990s, RDJ was struggling from heroin addiction for years. He was arrested many times and had to go in and out of rehab. He went into the same rehab facility as Ben Affleck, the Promises.
In 2001, RDJ announced that he was fully recovered. During his long struggle, RDJ went through series of recovery. He had therapies, twelve-step recover programs, yoga, and Wing Chun Kung Fu practice (this helped him becoming one of the sexy superhero over 50 as well).
RDJ went from what it seemed to be the end of his career into becoming one of the highest-paid actors.
