Oh, the famous! We tend to think that they lead a great life, surrounded by all kinds of luxuries. We see them perfect in the magazines, smiling, with their dream home, wearing palm hearts with their partners and their children. But rich people cry too, as that famous Mexican soap opera of the late 70s taught us. The celebrities we include in today’s list have suffered the unspeakable, but have managed to overcome it after hitting rock bottom.

But his most delicate moment was in 2010, when a New York court sentenced the son from his first marriage, Cameron Douglas, a 5 years in prison for drug trafficking. “I thought I was losing it,” he would declare years later. As if that were not enough, that same year he was diagnosed with a laryngeal cancer, from which he was fortunately able to recover. His wife, also an actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, was treated in 2011 by a bipolar affective disorder, and two years later, for a bipolar disorder of the second type.
