6 Celebrities Who Partied Like Animals Then Suddenly Became Saints

Robert Downey Jr. — From Prison To Iron Man

RDJ is the ultimate comeback story. In the 1990s and early 2000s, he was arrested multiple times, spent time in prison, and was found by police passed out in a neighbour’s child’s bed. He was unemployable. Mel Gibson famously had to insure his own salary to get him cast in a film. Then, in 2003, he got sober and stayed sober. He became Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes, and one of the highest-paid actors on the planet. He’s now a devoted husband and father. The party years are barely a memory.
