Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 495 Downey

"Use magic to help people detoxify from drugs!?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then reacted,

"Judy, do you have any friends who have this problem?"

From Charlotte's observation, Jodie Foster herself does not have this problem, so the problem can naturally only be caused by her friends.

After all, Hollywood stars do have serious problems in this regard, and they commit suicide one after another.

Jodie Foster nodded,

"Yes. Do you know Robert Downey Jr.?"

"...This really talks about the devil, and the devil will appear."

Charlotte sighed;

"I've actually been thinking about who to star in my next movie recently, and I was considering Downey."

"Ever considered it?"

Jodie Foster sighed;

"That means you won't consider it now, right? Is it because of his drug addiction?"

"Roughly the same!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Judy, is he the one you want me to help with detoxification?"

"Yes."

Jodie Foster explained,

"Since you know about Downey, you should know how serious his drug addiction is - this is the second time he has been arrested and imprisoned for drug possession, which has ruined his reputation. The key issue is Yes, with the way he is now, it would probably be very difficult to quit using normal methods."

"No, actually, no matter what method you use, quitting drugs will be difficult."

Charlotte shook her head;

"After all, the physical symptoms are easy to explain, but the mental addiction is difficult to quit. Without enough perseverance and reasons, relapse will be a matter of time."

"You're right."

Jodie Foster frowned,

"Actually, I was originally asked by Mel Gibson to help Downey find a new role. After he came out of prison this time, he wanted to turn over, and he still needed a new role after all. But I went to the prison to visit him. After meeting Donnie once, I changed my mind."

"Is it because his drug addiction is too serious? If he can't get rid of it, it will be useless to give him the best role?"

Charlotte asked.

"Yes."

Judy nodded,

"Because he is also a friend, I want to help him get rid of his drug addiction first. Given his severity, normal drug addiction methods may be useless."

"So you thought of me? Want to know if there is a spell you can use!?"

"Yes."

"Well..."

Charlotte couldn't help but hesitated,

"There are indeed ways to help with magic, but what can basically be dealt with are physical symptoms. For mental addiction..."

Charlotte shook her head.

In fact, Robert Downey Jr. in his original world was finally able to successfully quit drug addiction, not only because of his own will and the help of his friends, but also because of many other factors——

Having been in and out of prison many times, I gained insights from the harshness of the world;

After meeting his future wife, Susan, the sense of responsibility for the family developed through marriage;

And the most important factor - time.

The combination of these factors allowed Downey to finally get rid of drug addiction.

But now Downey lacks these latter motivations.

Although he may have gained a lot of life insights due to being in and out of prison twice, but wanting to get rid of drug addiction does not require more life insights.

Even Charlotte didn't know whether the final result would be bad or good if she used magic to help Downey detoxify.

"After all, the pain of the drug detoxification process is also one of the forces that prevents people from relapse-it is not necessarily a good thing that I use magic to reduce his pain."

"That's true."

Jodie Foster understands what Charlotte means.

The actress frowned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask,

"But, isn't there any way to solve the problem once and for all? Like a magic medicine that can cure the disease."

"Judy, do you still believe this?"

Charlotte chuckled lightly,

"There are so many things in this world that can be cured once and for all, and the only thing that can cure the disease is deadly poison - when the person dies, the disease will naturally disappear."

"..."

Judy can understand what Charlotte said.

After all, although it is cruel, this is the truth of the world.

However, from this, the actress thought of another plan——

"Then, can we use a method similar to poison to fight poison with poison? Like in "The Count of Monte Cristo", isn't the highly poisonous wood turtle spirit a medicine for treating stroke?"

"This is indeed a solution."

Charlotte thought about it for a while.

"When it comes to fighting poison with poison, I have thought of a feasible plan. This should really allow Downey to successfully quit drug addiction forever. However, the pain caused by it will probably be no less than normal drug detoxification, and it can even be said to be more."

"This should be fine."

Jodie Foster was relieved,

"Let Downey decide whether to use this plan or not! But -"

——If Donnie continues to seek death this time and the mud can't hold him up, then he is no longer worthy of help.

Judy secretly made up her mind.

***********

So, when Robert Downey Jr. walked out of prison again, he was surprised to see his good brother Mel Gibson waiting for him.

Next to Mel Gibson, there is Jodie Foster, who also has a good relationship with Downey, and——

A strange man with black hair.

"Hello, Mr. Downey, I'm here to help you from Miss Foster."

The man took the initiative to introduce himself,

"My name is Patrick Jane, you can call me Patrick!"

"Patrick!?"

Donnie was stunned.

——This Patrick is naturally Charlotte.

In order to prevent too many people from knowing about her magic skills, Charlotte did not appear in her usual identity, but once again transformed into the psychic master Patrick Jane.

——Anyway, because of the "Titanic" incident, the name Patrick Jane was somewhat famous among some of the more superstitious people in Hollywood.

——This is also thanks to "Titanic" producer Jon Landau.

In short, acting in the name of Patrick Jane, Charlotte will be more free to cast spells——

People who don't believe it will only think that this is a scam by a so-called "psychic master";

Those who believe it will feel that this is a normal method of the master, and will not doubt some deeper issues.

*********

That's how Robert Downey Jr. feels at this time.

After listening to Charlotte, or rather Patrick Jane's complete self-introduction, he secretly muttered to Mel Gibson on the side,

"You actually found a psychic for me!?"

"What else can happen!?"

Gibson glared at Downey angrily.

"If you could quit that damn thing earlier, would we use this unreliable method?"

"this……"

Donnie touched his nose sheepishly.

After two years of practice, he certainly knew that taking medicine was not good.

But those were normal times.

Even if he quit for a while, he still couldn't resist the urge to take a bite whenever he felt depressed.

In particular, the drug heads he knew before would contact him from time to time...
