Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and others who spoke candidly about their sobriety

In May 2023, the One Direction alum celebrated 100 days of sobriety.

“I feel amazing,” he said at the time. “I feel very, very good, the support from the fans and everything else has been very, very good.”

His battle began at the height of 1D mania. “The problem we had in the band – and I don’t blame anyone for it… But I think that when we were in the band, the best way to keep us safe, given how big it got, was to just lock us in a room. And, of course, what’s in the room,” Liam shared. “So at a certain point I thought, ‘Well, I’m going to throw a party for one,’ and that seems to have continued for many years of my life.”

At the same time, he spoke openly about his sobriety. “It wasn’t until I saw myself after that that I was like, ‘OK, I need to get better,'” he recalled in June 2021, when he said he had been sober for more than a month at that point. “It was like some pictures of me on a boat and I was all bloated and I call it the pills and booze face… My face was 10 times bigger than it is now. And I just didn’t like myself very much, so then I made changes.”
