Wes Bentley: Robert Downey Jr. saved my life
Wes Bentley has thanked Robert Downey Jr. for saving him from drug addiction.
The ‘Yellowstone' actor has revealed that Robert opening up about his drug use inspired him to earn help when he was in the grip of a heroin addiction.
Wes told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: “I was in the deepest throes of my addiction and in the worst place and at death's door, I assume, or at risk of it and I saw him be so bold and brave and open and it saved me.
