"Harry Potter" actor Tom Felton is speaking out about his past battle with alcohol abuse, which caused him to visit rehab multiple times.
In Felton’s new memoir, "Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard," he shared that in his 20s he was drinking heavily to "escape" and revealed his struggles with mental health. "Drinking becomes a habit at the best of times… When you're drinking to escape a situation, even more so.The habit spilled out of the bar and, from time to time, on to set," Felton penned, according to excerpts shared by Entertainment Weekly.
