In an interview, Hurt said he woke up one day to realize that his heavy drinking was ‘stupid’ and ‘wrong’ so he decided ‘to do something about it.’
| Bay Area News GroupTo cope with the pressures of his 1980s movie success, Academy Award-winning actor William Hurt drank heavily, which landed him in rehab a few times and moved one of his ex-girlfriends to call him a “violent drunk.”
Alex Hurt also said in a statement to the media: “This morning, early and still dark, my father passed peacefully in the comfort of his home, held by the love of his children and surrounded in the rich green of the Northwest that he cherished. ” The actor, who became one of Hollywood’s’ top leading men in the 1980s with “Body Heat,” “The Big Chill,” “Children of a Lesser God” and “Broadcast News,” also said he was given five years to live but that his cancer at that point was in remission.
“But the cancer just got the best of him,” the friend told the Daily Mail. “He succumbed to getting morphine just in the last week.”
