Joe Manganiello reveals hes 12 years sober
Its been a long road for
Joe Manganiello.
The Magic Mike hunk, whos engaged to
Sofia Vergara, says hes been sober for 12 years.
Of course sobriety is something near and dear to me, the 38-year-old actor
told Us Weekly at the screening of The Resurrection of Jack the Snake, a documentary about the former wrestler and his own issues with sobriety.
Twelve-and-a-half years sober, Manganiello added. So obviously this is something very close to my heart.
Manganiello, who was once homeless and struggling, opened up about his fight to stay sober in the past. In a December 2013 interview
with HuffPost Live, Mangiello detailed a four-year period where he needed to quit drinking.
The drinking got in the way [of my career], he explained.
It was one of those obstacles that I had to get over and once again I needed to clear the road in order for these things to happen, so it really is an inside job. I had to clean up my act and figure that whole situation out.
As for news surrounding his
upcoming marriage, which has been
postponed from this summer, Manganiello told Us Weekly the ceremony will likely take place this fall.
Its going to be big, he quipped. We started off with 20 [on the guest list] and now theres like pages and pages.
