11. Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper deserves a spot on our list because he was able to kick his destructive addiction, give up on partying, turn his life around, become one of the most successful actors of his generation, and JLaw’s unofficial on-screen husband.

“If I continued it, I was really going to sabotage my whole life. I don’t drink or do drugs anymore,” he told People magazine.

“Being sober helps a great deal … I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs [when I was still using], and I thought, ‘What’s happening?'”

Kudos to Bradley for staying strong and motivated, and not giving in to temptation of partying and reckless behaviour.
