Prison, drugs, accidents: 10 tragedies of celebrity children
Fate gave them the opportunity to become successful and famous, but evil fate or addictions crossed out all the chances.
Cameron Douglas
Cameron, the actor's son from his first marriage to Diandra Luker, got hooked on drugs at the age of 13. All the father's attempts to cope with his son's addiction were in vain. Douglas Jr. played in a single film — "Family Values" — together with his father and grandfather. This was the end of the young man's creative successes, and continuous troubles began.
In 2010, Cameron Douglas was sentenced to five years in prison for possession and distribution of drugs. A year later, the actor's son received another 4.5 years for drug use in prison. There were rumors that Cameron was cooperating with the investigation, for which the rest of the prisoners disliked him. Cameron was even severely beaten in prison once: Douglas Jr. suffered a broken leg and a finger on his hand.
Andrey Livanov
Irina Bezrukova lost her son last year. On the night of March 15, her 25-year-old son from her first marriage, Andrei, died. A young man was found dead in his Moscow apartment. It is still unknown exactly what happened. According to one version, the young man died as a result of an accident (allegedly Andrei fell and hit his head hard), according to another, the tragedy happened due to heart failure.
Daniil Pevtsov
The son of actors Dmitry Pevtsov and Larisa Blazhko Daniil received multiple fractures, spinal injuries and bruises of internal organs due to a fall from the third floor. The guy... for fun at the party climbed over the balcony railing.
Guillaume Depardieu
Depardieu had a difficult relationship with his eldest son Guillaume. Meanwhile, Guillaume's life was very similar to the life of his famous father. The young man had been in prison several times and suffered from alcoholism. Guillaume also had diabetes, but died after contracting a virus that caused fleeting pneumonia.
Boris Livanov
In 2009, Boris Livanov, the son of the famous actor from his second marriage, was sentenced to 9 years in a high-security colony for murder… The actor's son suffered from alcohol addiction, because of which he often showed aggression - his own mother wrote a statement against him. Later, in a state of intoxication, a young man stabbed a guest at a party. Boris was released in 2014 after serving half of his sentence: the man was released early after several family appeals to the court.
Sage Stallone
The body of Sylvester Stallone's eldest son Sage, an actor, screenwriter and producer, was found in his Los Angeles home on July 13, 2012. There were reports in the media that Stallone Jr. died of a drug overdose, but his friends denied it. The cause of death was a heart attack caused by atherosclerosis.
Vladimir Tikhonov
Actor Vladimir Tikhonov died of a heart attack. According to doctors, it was caused by Vladimir's alcohol and drug addiction. The actor has a son Vasily from the actress Natalia Varley and Vladimir is from his second marriage to figure skater Natalia Egorova.
Vladimir Kuzmin
The eldest daughter of musician and poetess Tatiana Artemyeva became a victim of her man, who stabbed a girl with a knife during an argument. Seven years after the tragedy, the couple's second child, son Stepan, died, who fell off the ledge of the 18th floor, trying to escape from the apartment fire through the balcony.
Olga Eliseeva
The heiress of the famous actor was a ballerina and danced in the Kremlin Ballet — she took over her passion for this profession from her mother Inna, a former ballerina. But dancing was the only thing that connected women. In September 2009, Olga hanged herself, unable to withstand the total control of a despotic mother. It was because of the domineering nature of the woman that the actor once parted with her.
Jett Travolta
Travolta's son and actress Kelly Preston often had epileptic seizures, and during another attack in 2011, Jett fell and hit his head on the edge of the bathtub. Then Travolta admitted that his son Jet was one step away from death at the age of two, and then the doctors gave him a terrible diagnosis - Kawasaki syndrome, an acute febrile disease affecting the vessels. Years after the death of the young man, John dedicated a heartbreaking open letter to his son:
