It’s people like Gerard Butler, and Demi Lovato who give me hope for the actors in Hollywood today. I feel as though them just saying that they have a problem is a good thing, and them getting the help they need is an even better thing. It’s the people that don’t even realize they have a problem that I worry for, and the fact they have fans that they will let down worries me more. In the future I hope to see  actors and celebrities in general that can come forward like this. I feel like them just saying they have a problem, and accepting it while getting the help they need is the first step to take. The media is one thing that I feels scares them, they are sacred that the media will twist their personal problem, by making it a public one.
