Simon Pegg has admitted he hid his alcoholism from co-stars during Mission: Impossible III filming. Speaking to Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Pegg said that while his fame began to soar, he was battling alcoholism.
"You become very sneaky when you have something like that in your life. You learn how to do it without anyone noticing because it takes over. It wants to sustain itself and it will do everything it can to not be stopped." He said.
"But eventually it just gets to a point when it can't be hidden, and that's when, thankfully, I was able to pull out the dive." Previously, Pegg has said that when he watches the 2006 film Mission: Impossible III, he can see himself an unhappy, lost alcoholic.
