Leif Garrett's Tragic Fall from Fame

Leif Garrett is the perfect example of how exposure to fame at a young age often leads to a lifetime of mistakes and bad press. This teenage heartthrob was incredibly popular in the 1970s, but tragedy struck when he was exposed to drugs, something that happens to far too many child actors. Many actors in the film and television industries end up abusing stimulants and other drugs, sometimes even to help them stay awake while filming! Others get addicted to these illegal substances at high profile parties, where they submit to peer pressure. Like this content? Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/factsverse?su...

It’s all too easy to blame drug abuse on a person’s moral standing, but genetic factors and mental health often play a much larger role. Because of all the stigma surrounding addiction and drug use, however, most people end up thrown in jail and isolated from their friends and family. Recovering from addiction is a long and winding road, and by cutting off a person’s support and slandering them for their “immoral” decisions, they end up feeling even more isolated, and are more likely to continue to feed their addiction. This is a pattern all too often seen in celebrities especially. Actors and musicians begin dabbling in drugs at a young age, and if they are caught by law enforcement, they’re put on the front page of every tabloid and magazine imaginable. Not only is this a devastating blow to the person’s career, but it also means they are likely to feel ashamed and all alone in the world, only heightening their chances of continuing their drug use. Some celebrities are able to get help anyway, and sometimes they even manage to make a stunning comeback when it comes to their career. After spending time in rehab, talking with supportive friends and family members, and slowly rebuilding their self-confidence, they’re able to jump back into acting or music. Robert Downey Jr., Drew Barrymore, and Elton John are just a few of the many legendary celebrities who have been able to overcome their struggles with drug addiction. Tragically, however, for every success story, there are several failures. Judy Garland, Kurt Kobain, and Janis Joplin are some of the most well known cases of suicide due to depression and drug use. Leif Garrett had a promising start to his music and acting career at a very young age, but all of that potential was squandered when he turned to drugs. In today’s video, we’re going to take a look at exactly what caused his career to tank, as well as what he’s doing today. Make sure you stick around, because we’re also going to reveal how one poor decision as a young teen left his friend tragically paralyzed.
