Netflix The Gentlemen star Vinnie Jones is celebrating 11 years of sobriety this week, but the footballer-turned-actor has opened up about his battle with alcohol and mental health.
Footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones, who is celebrating 11 years of sobriety this week, has shared his journey from living a hedonistic lifestyle to finding joy in life. Once known for his "hardman" image on the football pitch and on screen, the 59 year old star prefers a quieter existence now. Speaking from sunny Palm Springs, Florida, where he's enjoying a break away from his rainy West Sussex farm - as well as a spot of golf - he's been opening up on his new priorities.
Battling with mental health issues since a young age due to his parents' difficult split, his drinking started out as fun, but some of his actions quickly became serious. Reflecting on his past drinking habits, he shared: "I think it clouds the passion. You know, the passion becomes misty, it becomes clockwork. "Other people say in AA, you're a functioning alcoholic. You're a functioning drinker.
Vinnie wants to encourage football fans to follow his example and start discussing what's on their minds. He says the laddish culture that surrounds the sport can make it a hard environment in which to talk about mental health. It can be tricky for people to confess to being vulnerable, or discuss issues like sexuality. "I'm passionate about this, " explains Vinnie. "My daughter came out six years ago. She's getting married in June to her girlfriend.
