The 'Hangover' actor star said: 'I was at a party, and deliberately bashed my head on the concrete floor. Like, "Hey, look how tough I am!"

'I did it again. And I spent the night at St. Vincent's Hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up.'

Sobered up, he said: 'I don't drink or do drugs anymore. Being sober helps a great deal… I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs [when I was still using], and I thought, "What's happening?"

'I was so concerned what you thought of me, how I how I was coming across, how I would survive the day.

The 37-year-old told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I always felt like an outsider. I just lived in my head. I realised I wasn't going to live up to my potential, and that scared the hell out of me.

'I thought, "Wow, I'm actually gonna ruin my life. I'm really gonna ruin it."'
