Actor Ashley Hamilton, known for his role in "Iron Man 3" and his brief marriage to actress Shannen Doherty, is currently hospitalized after an apparent overdose, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
Sources indicate Hamilton was discovered last Thursday in an Airbnb located in the Los Angeles area, experiencing a medical emergency believed to be related to an unknown substance. He was promptly transported to a nearby hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition.
Hamilton, 51, has a long-documented history of battling addiction. Public records and past interviews suggest he has entered rehabilitation facilities more than 30 times throughout his life. In recent years, he has reportedly used his experiences to help others, working as a sober companion for individuals struggling with substance abuse.
His personal life has often been in the spotlight. He famously married actress Shannen Doherty in 1993 after a whirlwind two-week courtship. The marriage, which began when Hamilton was 19, lasted only five months before ending in divorce.
He comes from a prominent entertainment family. He is the son of actor George Hamilton and model Alana Stewart, and was once the stepson of rock legend Rod Stewart. Alongside his siblings, Kimberly and Sean Stewart, he appeared in the 2015 reality television series "Stewarts & Hamiltons."
Representatives for Hamilton's family have not responded to multiple requests for comment regarding his current health status.
