Not Just An Occasional Beer

[Blind Gossip] This handsome actor has had a very successful career in both TV and movies.

He is best known for starring in a TV drama series that went off the air a few years ago after a successful run.

You might think that we are going to talk about his newest relationship.

Frankly, after he broke up with that actress he had been with for over a decade without marrying her, we sort of lost interest in cheering on any new relationship of his.

Yes, he has a new girlfriend, but there is nothing special or unique about an over-40 actor dating a much younger woman.

Today, we’re going to bring up something else about his life.

A few years ago, Actor went away to rehab for a serious drinking problem.

He had managed to keep the problem quiet for years. Until it started messing with his ability to work. Then it was off to 30 days of rehab!

It was great that he cleaned up his act.

Unfortunately, though, it seems that he has fallen off the wagon.

He is drinking practically every day again. Part of the problem is that his new girlfriend is young, really likes to party, and hangs out with other young people who also like to party. He winds up just going right along with it.

Supposedly, Actor is not just having an occasional beer or glass of wine. His drink of choice is reportedly vodka martinis. Straight up.

Is he mad? Does he really think that after years of sobriety he can handle drinking hard liquor again?

We saw something similar happen to Ben Affleck, who also struggled with sobriety. Although Ben enjoyed dating Lindsay Shookus, Lindsay loved to party and drink, and thus was a poor choice of girlfriend for him.

We’re not trying to blame Actor’s girlfriend for his lack of sobriety. It’s Actor’s responsibility to surround himself with good influences so he can remain sober. His new girlfriend just doesn’t seem to be a good influence.

Let’s hope our Actor makes better choices going forward and can regain his sobriety.

Nothing to do with Pierce Brosnan (who just happens to look dapper drinking a vodka martini)!

    Ditch the party friends and get some help. Maybe a sober coach? A male sober coach

    You’re going to lose your career if you don’t clean up…

    The Hamm-bone. Advice: take a dating break to “sniff the coffee beans” between candles, bc you’re obviously drawn to Sturm und Drang, i.e., strong drink that could wake a man from the dead—or bury him in his grave—and women who are either benign or deadly. Read Joseph Campbell, listen to Jordan Peterson, and take a few trips to visit museums alone, sans bedfellow. Find a crackerjack therapist who can excavate the essence of who you are—before life’s catastrophes, compromises, and boredom set in.

    He is a big boy and needs to figure it out. OBTW…Older men look so stupid dating longer women. You really think she is not in it for the money?? Joke is on you!

    [Optional] Advice for him? Nothing is as important than your sobriety, if she loves you then it should be important to her as well.

    Asking for help is nothing to be ashamed of. If you fall down, get back up and try again. I pray for your health and sobriety.

    Ahhh Jon Hamm…too bad….his skip the dishes are kinda cute though…hope he gets good advice and counsel!

    Jon Hamm

    He has to come to the realization that he’ll always need some sort of support system and that starts by being around people that are good for his sobriety. It’s up to him to make that choice. I’m dealing with a 57 yr old ‘functional’ alcoholic who finally realized he can’t be around ANY type of alcohol. He will always need a sober coach. His father dying when he was young from it and he almost dying countless times was not enough of a wake up call for many, many years.

    Jon hamm, Mad Men. I liked the 10 year girlfriend he dumped, Jennifer Westveld. She derves better. He doesn’t seem very likeable any more.

    Jon Hamm (“Is he mad?”) dating Anna Osceola who is almost 20 years his junior. Also mention of Lindsay Shookus who Hamm was rumored to have dated.

  72. spoofbyrd says

    I will just go for a brainstorm. Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves , or Chris Pratt. Al Pacino ? Wouldn’t know the girl friend . Girl friends take a while to go beyond the scratch your head huh stage for old farts like me unless they are well known established have their own identity etc

    Get rid of the girlfriend and get back into rehab and attend AA every hour of the day if you need to. I am not shocked he did not fully commit to rehab. He was with his girlfriend for decades and couldn’t commit to marriage.

  91. jacksonian says

    Forget rehab. It relies on your willpower. Read Allen Carr’s “Your Personal Stop Drink Plan” or any of his Easyway to Stop Drinking Books. It works by totally removing your desire to drink and only costs $12!

    I’m gonna go out on a limb here.. Jesse Metcalfe?

    He’s 41. He recently broke off a 10+ years long relationship with Cara Santana. He went to rehab for alcohol problems in 2007. And he recently has been spotted with a model, Corin Jamie-Lee Clark, who is 14 years younger than him.

    Dear Paul Rudd, please put your friend on a plane to someplace in Alaska where he can get help and not go anywhere easily. He’s good at comedic and serious roles. I think we all would like to keep him around.
