Hollywood is filled with celebrities who attempted suicide but failed. Fortunately , the 10 famous persons on this list were saved on time and continued with their lives. Most of them are back on track and found their happiness. Here are those 10 stars who wanted to end with their lives but they were unsuccessful:
1. Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore did not have a great start in Hollywood. As a child actor, she was introduced, by her own mother, to drugs and alcohool, to which she became addicted as early as 10 years old. After trying to escape drinking and cocaine addiction (she was also smoking at 9 years old), she became depressed and tried to kill herself when she was only 15 years old. It’s amazing that she managed to get cured and stay clean since then!
2. Halle Berry
Halle Berry had an attempt to poison herself with carbon monoxide after breaking up with her first husband, David Justice. Fortunately for her and for her fans, while sitting in her car and waiting to die, she thought of her mother finding her and could not go on with it.
3. Owen Wilson
In 2007, Owen Wilson was also among the celebrities who tried to kill themselves and lived to tell the story. He slashed his wrists, but was found by his brother in time, so he could be saved. His reasons are linked to his breaking up with Kate Hudson and drug abuse. However, we are sure happy that he is still around!
4. Fantasia Barrino

5. Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor’s life was not free of troubles and moments of despair.

7. Elton John

Unfortunately, she was one princess that did not “live happily ever after”…
10. Britney Spears
