Comedian Robin Williams is being treated for alcohol abuse after 20 years of sobriety, Reuters reports. I guess he saw Mel Gibson, and thought, dang I don’t want to go down that road. The 55-year-old Oscar-winning actor “found himself drinking again” after two decades of sobriety and “has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family,” spokeswoman Mara Buxbaum said in a statement.

“He asks that you respect his and his family’s privacy during this time,” she said, adding, “He looks forward to returning to work this fall to support his upcoming film releases.” In addition to his new film The Night Listener, Williams has three more movies coming out later this year.

The actor was nominated for Academy Awards for his roles in Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King, Good Morning, Vietnam and won the Oscar for best supporting actor in Good Will Hunting.
