AceShowbiz - Tom Sizemore tells all in new memoir "By Some Miracle I Made It Out of There". The action movie star talks about his past relationships with movie beauties like Elizabeth Hurley and Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, as well as recounts his journey to sobriety.
The "Saving Private Ryan" actor claims he was seeing Liz Hurley while she was dating Hugh Grant. The English hottie reportedly became the object of interest for both him and "Passenger 57" co-star Wesley Snipes after they shared screen in the movie.
She chose Sizemore, but he was too intimidated by her beauty to do more than just a cuddle on their first night. She took matters into her own hands on the second night, enticing him in a skimpy lingerie and stripping for him in "a goddamn good routine."
He allegedly moved in with her but had to move out of her place whenever Grant was in town. "Hugh is coming: when do you think you should move your things out?" she said as claimed by him in the book excerpt obtained by New York Daily News. He eventually broke things off because he fell for her and couldn't take it anymore.
Another actress he was seduced by was his "Natural Born Killers" leading lady Juliette Lewis. In his book, he says they were involved in a drug-fueled relationship when she was only 19 and he was 32. They got blessing from her former boyfriend Brad Pitt, who allegedly said to her, "I'll drive you there! I want to be your agent on this one!"
His introduction to drugs happened when he hung out in a party with Robert Downey Jr. He snorted cocaine for the first time, contacted Downey Jr.'s dealer and became a daily user within weeks. He then lost interest in cocaine after being introduced to heroine.
He went sober during the making of "Saving Private Ryan", but returned to the dark path again after his then-wife, actress Maeve Quinlan, filed for divorce from him. He hooked up with Fleiss afterwards and was introduced to meth and a number of hookers by her.
His tumultuous relationship led him to get arrested for alleged domestic violence. He also landed in jail for possession of controlled substance. According to him, he fought off a rape attempt and was holed up in his cell out of fear of being murdered by other inmates.
After cleared of his legal woes, Sizemore has since stayed out of trouble in the past two years. Most recently, he was reported being assaulted in his home by a boyfriend of the woman he was dating. He was allegedly put in a headlock in a bathroom before the man took off with his expensive guitars and other properties.
The suspect was arrested and booked on suspicion of assault. His stuff was recovered after the man was taken into custody.
