As the son of a Hollywood A-Lister, expectations were placed high on Cameron Douglas. The actor, in return, didn't disappoint; he gave solid performances in It Runs in the Family - starring his grandfather Kirk Douglas, grandmother Diana Douglas, and father Michael Douglas - and National Lampoon's Adam & Eve (2005).
But, Cameron couldn't keep his focus and gave in to drugs for comfort. By his 20s, the Santa Barbara-born was using heavy doses of cocaine and later, started dealing "the stuff."
It was his imprisonment of over a decade that took the actor back to sanity. Now, he has joined the sober club and is doing pretty well with his girlfriend and baby girl.

Sentence Extended After Smuggling Drugs In Prison, Released Now
Like many actors in Hollywood, Cameron also had a history of drug abuse. To sustain his addiction, he even succumbed to dealing drugs. While he had been charged earlier, the first time in 1999 and later in 2007, it was his arrest in 2009 that turned serious. After he was arrested for the possession of heroin and dealing drugs in 2009, the artist had no option but to come clean.
He pleaded guilty on 27 January 2010 and was sentenced to five years in prison. But, his sentence was extended after Cameron was found smuggling drugs in the penitentiary.
The actor was finally released on 1 August 2016, after six years of imprisonment. He now lives in a halfway house and is doing his best not to return to his messy past life.
