Some celebrities have chosen to live a sober lifestyle, despite the allure of extravagant parties and wild lifestyles. In this article, we’ll highlight 20 such celebrities who have embraced sobriety.
Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo consistently ranks high on celebrity lists and manages to maintain a youthful appearance that defies her age. While her dedicated workout regimen is often credited for her timeless beauty, it appears that another contributing factor is her choice to abstain from alcohol entirely.
Lopez firmly believes that alcohol has negative effects on the skin, particularly as one ages.
Robert Downey Jr.
RDJ faced significant battles with alcoholism during his early career, but in 2003, he made the life-altering decision to declare himself sober. This timing was crucial as he was soon to embark on his iconic Marvel journey as Tony Stark in the “Iron Man” franchise a few years later.
Remarkably, Downey has maintained his sobriety for over 20 years and has steadfastly abstained from anything that could jeopardize his hard-earned recovery.
Natalie Portman
Natalie is known for being an activist and a vegan, but did you know she’s alcohol-free as well? Although she tried some drinks when she was younger, she hasn’t sipped anything alcoholic since her college days.
It probably helps that Natalie isn’t one for parties, having admitted that she never went to any of them, even during her high school years.
Dax Shepard
After being molested at the age of seven, it’s been a long road for Dax Shepard. He turned to drugs and alcohol for a while and couldn’t take himself off the substances until 2004.
Thankfully, his wife Kristen Bell is very supportive of his efforts, helping Dax reach nearly 19 years of sobriety.
Shania Twain
Country singer Shania Twain doesn’t just avoid alcohol for herself – she also prefers that anyone around her doesn’t drink at all. As she revealed in her biography, she’s a proponent of “clean living” and would rather work with people who live the same way.
Terry Crews
Even though Terry has been an open book about his pornography addiction, alcohol is one thing he hasn’t touched yet. He’s not brave enough to see what a drunk version of him would be like. It’s probably for the better, too.
Tyra Banks
Aside from a “little taste” when she was 12 years old, Tyra Banks was never really one for alcohol. According to an email she wrote to her fans, Tyra believes her non-addictive personality is how she managed to stay away from drugs and alcohol.
Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy stays away from alcohol nowadays, but this hasn’t always been the case for the actor. As he revealed in an interview with GQ, Hardy used alcohol in the past to deal with being socially awkward.
Thankfully, he’s now “sober longer than [he’d] been drinking,” which is great considering he’s a father. Even better, he never takes sobriety for granted; he knows his alcoholism can always come back if he’s not careful.
Blake Lively
Blake Lively is another celebrity who’s never touched alcohol in their life. Blake revealed during a 2012 photoshoot with Allure that she doesn’t even go to nightclubs. She’s not a fan of how loud those places can be, which prevents any attempts for a regular conversation.
Her sobriety is likely a good thing since she’s now a mother of four.
Rob Lowe
Rob received his “Spirit of Sobriety” award in 2015 to celebrate his 25th year of being dry, which means he’s now 33 years sober this year. Interestingly enough, he views his alcoholism as a gift that led him to recovery and, ultimately, his family.
Leona Lewis
Not liking the taste of alcohol is usually a surefire way of staying sober for life, and that’s true for Leona Lewis. Even when celebrating a career milestone, she avoided alcohol and opted for a non-alcoholic version of champagne instead. Lewis proves that you don’t need alcohol to celebrate.
Joe Manganiello
Joe is another recipient of the “Spirit of Sobriety” award, receiving his in 2018 to commemorate his 16th year of sobriety (making him 21 years sober in 2023).
According to his acceptance speech, his typical image of a toothless drunk made him refuse to accept that he was an alcoholic because he didn’t look like one. As a result, he had difficulties asking for help.
Sarah Silverman
Comedian Sarah Silverman has always wanted to try alcohol, but it seems her body is intent on stopping her. Drinking gives Silverman a stomach ache, thanks to what she calls her “Jewish stomach.” And instead of enduring the discomfort, she chooses to skip drinking altogether.
Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick might talk about alcohol in some of his songs, but that doesn’t mean the artist actually drinks them. When GQ did a profile about him in 2013, people found out for the first time that Kendrick doesn’t touch booze (and weed, for that matter). Even his entourage doesn’t drink, despite the industry surrounding them with endless alcohol bottles.
Jennifer Hudson
Despite acting in roles that involved drugs and alcohol, Jennifer Hudson has never touched alcohol in her life at all. Hudson also revealed that people usually don’t believe her when she admits to being completely sober. Her reasoning: she’s just not interested at all.
Andy Murray
It took one hangover for British tennis star Andy Murray to swear off alcohol. According to an interview he gave to the Daily Record, he once had a hangover after celebrating a friend’s birthday in Barcelona; he was 16 at the time.
After that, he vowed never to drink again, fearing that alcohol might compromise his performance.
Yvonne Orji
For Yvonne, abstaining from alcohol stems from a straightforward concept: her Christian values. She holds her Christianity in high regard and uses it to guide her career and private life. That doesn’t mean she won’t play roles that involve drinking; she just won’t touch the stuff in real-life.
Elton John
Elton John’s extensive drug and alcohol abuse back in the day was well-known, but what’s even more outstanding is how he became sober and for how long. The singer got spooked by the AIDS epidemic, which immediately got him straight within six months.
It’s been over 30 years now since he stopped drinking, and Elton John is still clean.
Kat Von D
Kat Von D might be a well-known name in the tattoo and beauty industry today, but most people don’t know about her previous struggles with alcohol. Thankfully, she’s been sober since 2007 and can focus on her business and career without worrying about hangovers.
Tobey Maguire
Years before he donned the iconic Spider-Man suit (and did the “dance”), Tobey was experiencing a drinking problem. But he had his sights set on success, so he stopped using when he was 19; he’s now 47 and sober. He even tries to keep his health in tip-top shape by going vegan.
