What personal problems did River Phoenix have?

Stop listening to crazy theories. Many people that use drugs don't have a "dark secret" pushing them into the adiction.

Like usually happens, River Phoenix got into drugs seeking instant gratification, he got addicted, couldn't quit on his own, but was too immature to recognize he had a problem that required seeking help, and then he accidentally overdosed. That's it, there is no mystery.

Yes, that s correct. It s not a theory, a few friends very close to him said he used to define them his "old secrets". Everything started with his disturbed father joining the sect named Children of God. He provided for his entire family at the time and his relationship with his father deteriorated because River basically took his place at some point. He never had a normal life, he didn t even know if he wanted to act at all, he was pushed into it when he was too young to have a choice. And the list goes on...

Drugs, money fame. Lethal

He was in love with Keanu Reeves.
