Jul.02.2008 Dennis Leary knows how to get off drugs
People in Hollywood are smart. Check out how Dennis Leary thinks that Tatum O’Neal’s work on FX show Rescue Me will make her stay sober.
Tatum O’Neal’s Rescue Me co-star Dennis Leary is convinced the drama series will help the actress stay sober - because her character will also be forced to kick alcoholism.
The star was charged with a minor narcotics offence earlier this month after cops caught her exchanging money with a dealer three blocks from her New York home. She claimed the incident was her first lapse in sobriety after a longterm battle with drug addition. O’Neal subsequently joined a recovery program for alcoholics.
And Leary - who plays O’Neal’s onscreen brother in the show - is convinced that as her character is battling a drinking problem in the upcoming second season, she will be able to put the experience to use in real life. He tells AOL Television, “(Her character, Maggie) got clean at the end of last year and we have this game plan for her that involves staying sober, so it’s probably gonna work in Tatum’s favour. We were in the middle of planning the next bulk of Tatum’s work before (her drug bust), so she’s got a place to come back to.”
Man, Dennis Leary is smart. Because you know what works really well for sobriety? Being on a TV set all day hanging around, then going out and partying with your resulting celebrity. It’s worked so well for countless Hollywood stars!
It’s true though, acting sober on TV will help you get over any problems you have in real life. Just like acting like a superhero in a movie will help you fly! And you know how Ellen Pompeo plays a doctor on TV? Well, hopefully if your kidney ever explodes, she’ll be nearby because she must know how to save your life as a result of her immersion in her role! Being a celebrity has many perks.
