The man looks like he needs some serious help before he ends up seriously ill or worse :-(

Openly drinking vodka in broad daylight in the street, don't even think Amy Winehouse did that, not looking good
I sincerely hope someone comes to his aid soon.:(
Hopefully he will get help, seeing pictures of himself like this could be a wakeup call.
Good call.:)
I just hope that someone can help him before he spirals any more.:(
Oh those pics are so sad.
I hope he's got someone close to him, and to whom he'll listen, who'll give him your poignant but absolutely essential advice.
He wasn't a stranger to alcohol when he worked on The Tribe. He was around 18 at the time. No different from other 18-year-olds who enjoyed drinking and the like, though.
That said, I have heard over years since that he made an effort to keep his private life and his professional life apart. As in, he doesn't - or at least, didn't - drink between three weeks and six weeks of working on a project. Some think he may be a binge drinker because of the pattern. He went on a bender as soon as his project finished, but stopped as soon as he was due to do another project. No idea if this is true, though.
To suggest that's just a bad day for him is denial made flesh. He is an alcoholic and trying to minimise/excuse it is really not helping anyone, least of all him.
I enjoy a drink myself but to swigging straight vodka out in the open on your own in daylight whether you are a household name or not is a serious cause for concern and not just someone who is having a 'bad day'
Lots of reader comments condemning the DM also publishing the papped pics
I sincerely hope he gets himself along to some meetings. I always cringe when I hear about celebrities going to rehab. Not saying it's the case with him, but too often agents and managers use a stint in rehab as a PR exercise. It's no substitute for meetings or whatever ongoing support mechanism works for an individual.
He thought it was funny, and said of course he would stay sober and clean when working
Acting is often a way of dealing with insecurity and shyness and alcohol can have the same effect of making nervous people relax.
The binge drinking is a worry - it can be more dangerous than drinking everyday.
Bloody hell! He's rapidly losing his looks. He looks like a homeless person.
The guy is either in serious denial about the extent of his problem or he really doesn't care that he has a problem.
For someone so young to be looking so rough and so seemingly dependent on alcohol is a real tragedy. He is such a good looking young man with so much talent.
I suspect he isn't at the stage yet where he really wants help or has reached his rock bottom. Despite the trips to rehab - it has to come from deep within him and as yet he isn't ready to change his life or face it without alcohol.
