Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s Partner Tells The Truth About His Last Days | Rumour Juice

[@barbstephenson3025]

It's such a loss, his acting was soooo authentic, on the genius level

[@dawn8288]

I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman was an amazing actor and human being.

[@iocantokg]

I met him and his family 1 month before his death. He was gracious and kind. What a loss to the world!

[@gianca60]

He could play a meek boy or a flamboyant gay, a priest or a thug, a cult leader or a jewels robber. He was the man of a thousand characters.

[@toddprater14]

He was good in flawless with Robert denero as a drag queen..also as a depressed gas huffer in love Liza,, capote good too actually all roles , he was a great actor .

[@danielkinney6325]

It was THE MASTER role in 2012 that I believe that cult religion made it look like an OD. the church of Scientology doesn’t like anyone saying anything about their leader or church.

[@Vinladen82]

Owning Mahoney also was awsome

[@robf6105]

As good as his other roles are, I always think of his role as a storm chaser in "Twister." Very passionate.

[@festivelady826]

I cried throughout this whole video. I have gone through this exact thing with my son and heroin addiction. You cannot help them - the only person that can save them is themselves. Hoffman was my favorite actor. This is so very tragic. God bless you, Mimi. I can only imagine your sense of loss.

[@delishme2]

And God bless you too. Until an addict is brave enough to heal their own pain, that is sadly the legacy they give to others who love them. I wish you and your child all the best in the world, I can't imagine how your heart must shatter every single day, and the strength it takes to pick yourself up each morning and continue to love them despite of it.

Try methadone maintenance, it worked for me, atleast for the meantime.

[@festivelady826]

@@DerekDaly92 - He's been doing methadone maintenance for one year and three months. It has helped quite a bit, but the guys at the clinic like to "supplement" their methadone. They drug test once per month and they all know when it is. It does work if one is committed to the program.

About 15 years ago, I happened to sit in the next table from Philip at Keen’s Steakhouse in NYC. He was quiet and unassuming. When I looked over at him, he gave me a polite nod. I wanted to talk to him, but I respected his privacy. He seemed like such a down-to-earth and a genuinely nice guy.

[@Lehmann108]

One of only a handful of superlative actors. Truly amazing. He almost ruined scenes with other actors because he was so good compared to them.

[@Penny_Royalty]

Genius actor ... he could play ANY role and it was so believable and often intense. Sad loss.

[@dameinoferrall2400]

I died a little the day I heard the news. I looked forward to his performances more than that of any other actor. Nothing compared to what his family must have experienced.

[@rikkidee]

Truly a great actor. Especially loved the character he played in TWISTER. That's the Phillip I'll remember. R.I.P

[@fritzcat6198]

Damn, this is a loss I’ve had a hard time accepting. Wonderful man, amazing actor. Gosh, how I wish Mimi had kept him at home. You should never turn an addict loose. Once on their own, they might die. May his soul Rest In Peace. May God bless Mimi for all she’s had to endure.

[@maryloy967]

A huge loss indeed. The rough thing about addiction though is that there’s often no way they’ll get better until they hit rock bottom. It’s taught in alanon that healthy boundaries must be set in order to not enable the addiction and you really can’t blame Mimi for doing so, especially for the safety of her children.

[@yvesthesleeve]

What a great soul he was

[@lexwilson2730]

I still can hardly watch him without crying 😢. Will ALWAYS love and admire him ❤💙♥

[@annettemurielle]

I first noticed him enough to look up his name and remember it when he was in Magnolia. The character he created was so rich and deep and relatable, as were all his characters. He was a truly gifted actor. He is missed.

[@laraoneal7284]

Hoffman was the most fascinating actor ever. Fascinating person ever. So complex and nuanced. I could listen and watch him all day.

[@shawnbingley5433]

Absolutely spot on..fascinating actor..he made such bold choices and always knocked it out of the park..

[@mom2adragon677]

I will never understand why the medical community doesn’t step in with legitimate help for addicts. Not everyone can quit. Dose them! Daily at a pharmacy or doctors office. Our current policies on drug addicts are absolutely worthless.

[@insatiablecuriosity2555]

Methadone

[@jamesdunn9609]

@@insatiablecuriosity2555 It's a horrible substitute. It is definitely better than heroin, but it has a longer half-life and is just as hard to stop. Methadone maintenance programs aren't actually treatment for the addict. They are actually designed to protect the community FROM the addict. By switching the addiction from heroin to methadone, the addict can be more functional so those programs do have some positive effects for them, but they remain addicts. What those programs actually do is lower the transmission rates of communicable diseases (leading to lower medical costs and increased community health) and the need to commit crimes to pay for their addiction (leading to lower rates of property crimes, petty theft, shoplifting, etc.). There has to be a better answer than this.

[@joythug37]

If someone with his kind of financial resources couldn't put together somekind of dose plan for himself ... I don't know if it works that way ...my opinion is that Mimi& friends shouldn't let him isolate.

[@backwoodsjunkie08]

Iv been saying the same!!! Give them morphine or dilaudid!! It will save thousands of lives

It's popular to view misery as a medical problem. Just like we now view the behavior of gluttony and people who weight 600 lbs as a medical condition. The problem with chronic drug abusers is not the molecule. AA powerless teaching has failed us.

His presence on screen was reassuring, you just knew the character was in good hands with PSH. Sorely missed, I mourned his passing, and I thank him for giving us some of the most memorable cinematic experiences. No one will ever beat that Philip swagger in Ripley, that slimy Red Dragon reporter, the acidic, exacting Capote. Hope his wife and children find peace, it's the least they deserve.

The filming of Robin and Phillip at 5:07 Is so powerful.

[@gogo-word]

Such a rare amazing actor. A true loss of brilliance.

[@whiteraven69]

His fallout with AA friends is an indicator he was in relapse before he picked up and used. Relapse occurs long before you start actively using ....we pick up our old Lone Ranger thinking and quit doing what it takes to maintain our sobriety.. And , especially after a long period of sobriety , we fall fast and hard.

People always choose to abuse drugs. Nobody ever "relapses".

[@scovey6]

[@whiteraven69]

@@diana2063 I hear what you’re saying and can agree. Ive spent literally hundreds of hours listening to the bot slogans. Fortnately, I stuck around the rooms listening and came out understanding the meaning of patience and tolerance. I particularly resonated with “Take what you need and leave the rest”. Sober for 35 years ...I do not go to meetings now, but they had an exclusive role in my getting sober and maintaining sobriety for years.

And his partner is right, nothing special is going on when they restart using. Sobriety is harder in the ho-hum of life.

Wow..being that incredibly self aware..even to the point of turning over his finances. Most addicts seem to lack any sort of ability to make that kind of decision. They both knew it was unavoidable.

[@SMC4117]

Firstly, if you’re not an addict yourself, then you’ll never, never understand it, period. I’m an alcoholic. Ive been an alcoholic since I first started drinking heavy at 15 years old… I’m 54 now. I’ve been fighting the demons of addiction for a long time including rehab and a few stints in AA. I’ve lived a very exciting and fulfilling life full of travel and adventure. Some long stretches of sobriety and some long stretches of drinking and fighting back to being sober. I finally came to the conclusion that I’ll never be 100% sober and that I’ll always relapse. This realization alone has actually helped me. Knowing that at some point I’ll drink again completely removed the fear. It also allows me, when I do go out, to bounce back much quicker and without guilt. Addiction is a hell of a thing and I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Just have to live life and continue the fight!

There are some actors that when a new film of theirs comes out I really look forward to seeing it. Hoffman was one. Another one to me is Michael Shannon, his performance in Nocturnal Animals made the movie for me. If you haven't seen it, you should. Back to Seymour Hoffman. Very sad when he died. Maybe it was a brief look into his private life but his best movie to me was Before the Devil Knows You're Dead which was also Sidney Lumet's final film. A very devastating film. Anyway, cheers!

@Vintage Bleached Blonde There must be a great, primal fear of the nature of Human Pain in our Western societies. So thank you for putting "pain" right out in the open with your comment. As children or young adults, could we be taught more truthfully about the nature of pain, and the many many ways in which it is experienced ? These can be such cataclysmic times in our lives. Why will some people accept, rebuild and heal ... and others will not. (It is now Oct 2022. I hope that you have stepped through the relapse that you wrote of.)

[@kiraridegen]

Damn this is so sad. Addiction is such a damning insidious disease. The shit i do to keep it at bay is so tedious, ranging from AA, fitness, kratom and socializing with my support. I had a real talk with my dad because my last real relapse was bad, and i was about to get kicked out for my isolating bizarre behavior, which led me to run away and go on this crazy bender where i dumped how addiction made me feel and the curse, dichotomy guilt and shame it brought, and the ultimate feeling of just being misunderstood. This led to a stronger relationship with my dad then ever, and a strong relationship with something greater than myself and finally reconnecting with myself. Still on kratom, but actively tapering while using it as my maintenance as im slowly but steadily getting my tiles in order. Thank god i’m always from the prescription pills and fent, kratom truly is a blessing sometimes. Being open and honest about that usage with basically my sponsor led me to a good life so far. Made so much progress, just work is a super trigger messing with the taper, but as long as i don’t really go out with the good street shit or have a drink i’ll be okay

Apparently, after Hoffman's death, Mimi's runs were countless. Even to this day, no one knows how many runs she achieved, but Philip's countless awards, which filled the island of Madagascar and the country Australia, never came close to her countless runs around the world. Countless....that which cannot be counted, is like Mimi who has not stopped running to this day. When she drops dead, we can finally count her runs! Which will be counted because they are not countless. Countless is the ineptitude and the size of the brain worm in the documentary writer-narrator's skull...which is infinity!
