READ MORE:Julian Clary's censored eulogy left Paul O'Grady's pals in stitchesBarry himself had battled with alcohol addiction, which he said almost killed him.

He began to drink heavily in the 1960s as his comedy career was going from strength to strength. His family and friends soon became concerned that his drinking would become detrimental and even cost him in life.

His parents eventually had him admitted to a private hospital after he was found drunk at the side of a street, BBC reports.

After the incident Barry gave up booze and managed to steer clear of it for more than half a century. He told the Independent in 2004 that he discovered "life was more stimulating without stimulants".

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Halle Bailey recently praised her “The Little Mermaid” co-star Melissa McCarthy for teaching her how to speak up and say what works for her on set, but there was a time when McCarthy herself wasn’t always so vocal. In a recent interview with The Observer, McCarthy revealed she once became sick due to working on a toxic set that left many of the cast and crew “weeping.” The experience led McCarthy to realize she can’t remain quiet amid inappropriate working conditions. “I did work for someone once who ran such a volatile, hostile set that it made me physically ill,” McCarthy said. “My eyes were swelling up, I was absorbing all of this nuttiness.”
