John Travolta Wants Action Taken on Drug Abuse in Hollywood

Daniel “Danny” Zuko from Grease was what most people will always identify actor John Travolta as. It is maybe his most iconic role and something he will be continually remembered for. It’s the type of role that most actors would beg for. Since then, the actor has portrayed even more challenging roles such as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction and Chili Palmer in Get Shorty. Travolta has taken on many fights such as the battle to help children with special needs. He started the Jett Travolta Foundation following his son Jett’s death in 2009 while on a vacation in the Bahamas. Jett had struggled with autism and regularly had seizures. It was a tragic death he credited Scientology and his immediate family as being the reasons he continued on with life and his film career.

Since then, Travolta has decided to take on a new fight: substance abuse. While at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre 44th Anniversary Gala, he made a direct statement about the need to do something about it in Hollywood. “Something needs to be done about all the artists we’re losing to drugs because I’m tired of it,” Travolta stated. He attributed his reasoning for speaking on it because of his passion for this fight.

“I don’t want to lose any more artists,” Travolta stated. “It’s too much already.” In nearby Orange County, the Orange County Register noted that fatal drug overdoses got up to at least four hundred during 2015. This was a sixty-three percent increase from the number in 2005, which was at 246. It was a six percent increase from 2014.

About 286 of those deaths were from overdoses involving heroin, prescriptions painkillers like OxyContin and Percocet and other opioids. It’s tough to think that so many people suffer from using these drugs and others such as Adderall. It could be challenging to ponder going to an Adderall rehab. Things may not be easy for anyone dealing with an addiction and it might be that someone such as Travolta is calling for you to seek help. This could come from your loved ones during an intervention held.

Recognizing the benefits of an Adderall rehab might be something very straightforward for Scientologists. “Scientologists do use prescribed medical drugs when physically ill and also rely on the advice and treatment of medical doctors,” the Church states. “They consider drugs cause extremely damaging effects on a person – physically, mentally and spiritually. Specifically, that drugs decrease awareness and hinder abilities.”

The Church says they accept drugs but they don’t seem to accept them all. Instead, Ron L. Hubbard, their founder, developed a solution to these harmful and difficult drugs. “Mr. Hubbard developed an entire body of technology to enable individuals to recover from the harmful mental and spiritual effects of drugs, including the Purification Rundown,” The Church stated.

The Purification Rundown is a detox system that, “enables an individual to rid himself of the harmful effects of drugs, toxins and other chemicals that lodge in the body and create a biochemical barrier to spiritual well-being.” It involves a, “tightly supervised regimen of exercise, sauna and nutrition.” Some of this does not sound anything different than an ordinary detox experience at the Adderall rehab.

The Scientologist beliefs on drugs and substance abuse seem to be compatible. They understand how harmful certain drugs can be and are against them. However, it’s not obvious how much tolerance they have for someone abusing those drugs they’re banned from abusing and being able to get away with it. Yet, there seems to be compatibility mostly.

The question is: just who would go to a Scientology church for Adderall rehab? Despite the Church Travolta calls allegiance to and its strange stance on the substance abuse issue, there continues to be a need, as Travolta stated, for substance abuse rehab.

Joaquin Phoenix Walked Off Set of Joker

While Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of Arthur Fleck, a failed comedian, who becomes The Joker, he had some strange behavior throughout his time on the film’s set. Certainly, he probably had a wake-up alarm clock but it was his befuddling of his coworkers that caught the eye of Todd Phillips, the director of co-writer of Joker. “In the middle of the scene, he’ll just walk away and walk out,” Phillips said. “And the poor other actor thinks it’s them and it was never them – it was always him, and he just wasn’t feeling it.” During an especially intense situation, Phoenix would reassure Phillips he would always return if he walked off the set. The actor would say, “We’ll take a walk and we’ll come back and we’ll do it.” Robert De Niro, who plays Murray Franklin, a late-night talk show host in […]

How Sleep Deprivation Can Cause You to Become Depressed

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over one-third of US adults do not get enough sleep. This is crazy to think about. However, sleep deprivation is a real thing, and it’s leading to some difficult realities. The Economist has found there are larger numbers of people, especially older folks, working longer in advanced economies. The states that are the most sleep-deprived are Hawaii and South Dakota. Wayne Giles, M.D., the director of the CDC’s Division of Population Health, said this is an overly concerning trend. “As a nation, we are not getting enough sleep,” Giles said. “Lifestyle changes such as going to bed at the same time each night; rising at the same time each morning; and turning off or removing televisions, computers, mobile devices from the bedroom, can help people get the healthy sleep they need.” While older […]

Hoffa Murder Comes to Life in New Martin Scorsese Film Trailer

The Irishman film trailer was released recently and caused a great deal of excitement when it came out. Fans have been waiting for this film and looking forward to the day they get to see the first footage from the film. Director Martin Scorsese did not disappoint with the trailer.

It’s interesting to see a story that portrays the last days of Hoffa’s life. https://youtu.be/h_2RjQwQGV0 The film, itself, has been something that Scorsese has been interested in making for some time. It’s based on Charles Brandt’s I Heard You Paint Houses, which were the last confessions of Sheeran before he […]

Daniel Craig Crutches His Way Back to Bond 25 Set

To say Daniel Craig has had an easy time in recent days is one that is a complete lie. From the beginning, Bond 25 seems to have had a fair share of problems. For a franchise as old as the James Bond franchise, things would seem to be moving along better than they are today. However, that’s not been the case. When the movie began filming, it was supposed to be under the creative control of Danny Boyle, the director, and John Hodge, the screenwriter Boyle chose to work with. However, following their departure from the film over creative differences with longtime Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, and Craig, the star. This led to the hiring of Cary Joji Fukunaga as director and a reworking of the script by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the longtime Bond film screenwriters. Craig has just been seen at JFK International Airport […]

Bond 25 Faces More Problems

After the controversy over the script rewrites, more bad news has struck the set of Bond 25. Daniel Craig, the film’s star, has injured his ankle while filming an action scene in the sequel to Spectre. He slipped while running in his suit and was flown to the USA for X-rays. Similar to Tom Cruise doing all of his own stunts, Craig insists that he do as many of the stunts as he can. However, that did not stop Craig from being very angry when this happened. “Daniel was suited and booted for one of the last scenes in Jamaica,” The UK Sun said. “He was sprinting during filming when he slipped and fell quite awkwardly. He was in quite a lot of pain and complaining about his ankle. As you’d expect he was also pretty angry that it had happened. He threw his suit jacket on the ground in […]
