Eminem and 9 other famous celebs who do not drink alcohol at all

In an industry often synonymous with wild parties and champagne-fueled celebrations, a growing list of Hollywood’s elite is proving that life is better lived with a clear head.

Leading the charge is rap royalty Eminem, who this month is celebrating a monumental milestone. As of April 20, 2026, the 53-year-old, born Marshall Mathers, has officially marked 18 years of sobriety.

The ‘Slim Shady’ star took to social media to share a photo of his latest sobriety coin, a tradition he has kept since he first vowed to change his life in 2008.

But the road to this “superpower,” as he now calls it, was nearly cut short by tragedy.

Eminem’s brush with death

Eminem’s journey began following a terrifying near-fatal drug overdose in December 2007.

The rapper, who had struggled with a cocktail of alcohol and prescription drugs including Vicodin, Valium, and Ambien, was just two hours from death after overdosing on methadone.

He officially got sober on April 20, 2008, and has since credited fellow music legend Elton John as the mentor who saved him, revealing the ‘Rocket Man’ singer checked in on him weekly during his early recovery.

The transformation redefined his career; his hit albums Relapse (2009) and Recovery (2010) were born from the struggle of relearning his craft with a sober mind.

Today, he says sobriety allows him to be “fully present” for his children.

The teetotaler A-list

Eminem is far from alone in his teetotal lifestyle. Here are nine other superstars who have famously turned their backs on alcohol:

Kendrick Lamar

The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper is a rare breed in hip-hop, often rapping about the dangers of substance abuse.

He chooses to stay sober to maintain his sharp lyrical edge and creative focus.

Tyra Banks

The supermodel mogul previously revealed she tasted alcohol at age 12 and hated it so much she never looked back.

“I feel like I’ve been very lucky because I don’t really have an addictive personality,” she famously stated.

Miley Cyrus

After years of a very public “wild child” persona, Miley committed to a sober lifestyle following vocal surgery in 2019.

She has spoken candidly about the importance of mental clarity in her 30s.

Brad Pitt

The Oscar winner famously quit drinking following his split from Angelina Jolie. He spent a year and a half in Alcoholics Anonymous and described the move as a way to “stop running” from his feelings.

Bradley Cooper

The A Star Is Born director got sober at age 29, admitting that if he hadn’t stopped drinking, he would have “wrecked” his entire life and career.

Robert Downey Jr.

Perhaps the most famous comeback story in Hollywood, the Iron Man star has been sober since 2003 following years of legal troubles and addiction that nearly ended his life.

50 Cent

Despite his ‘In Da Club’ lyrics and owning a successful champagne brand, 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) revealed he doesn’t drink or smoke, preferring to keep a “clear head” for his massive business empire.

Samuel L. Jackson

The Pulp Fiction legend went to rehab in the early 90s after his family found him passed out in the kitchen.

He has remained sober for over three decades, crediting it for his longevity in film.

Tom Holland

The Spider-Man actor recently celebrated over two years of sobriety after a “dry January” led him to realize he had an unhealthy relationship with booze.

He says he is now the “happiest he has ever been.”
