Just two months before he was supposed to make his boxing comeback, Ricky Hatton died at 46 years old. Naturally, fans and friends in the sports world were heartbroken and wanted answers regarding his cause of death, which has yet to be confirmed. However, some may recall that Hatton opened up about health struggles during his final years — specifically, with mental health and drugs.

Below, Hollywood Life is breaking down what we know about Hatton’s life before death.

Ricky Hatton’s Mental Health Struggles

In August 2023, Hatton sat down with Daily Mail to discuss the aftermath of his fights against Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, both of which he lost.

“After the Mayweather fight, I started drinking a lot more heavily, and ultimately, I fell out with my parents, and that was difficult for me and I did not care if I lived or died,” Hatton said, before admitting, “I contemplated suicide many, many times. I started thinking of different ways to get through it, and I thought I could drink myself to death.”

Hatton elaborated by confessing he “couldn’t walk down the street” after his defeats because he was “so embarrassed,” adding, “I didn’t want to show my face. I know that seems a bit strong but that’s what was in my mind.”

“I thought everyone was looking at me saying, ‘He told us he was going to beat Mayweather and he didn’t,’” the late world champion explained. “It’s a shame really but was the start of my mental health struggles.”

Hatton was also concerned that his son, Campbell Hatton, could inherit his late father’s struggles.

“There’s a possibility Campbell could experience the same mental health problems as me,” Hatton said. “I have said to Campbell, ‘If there is anything on your mind, come to me.’ I nearly wasn’t here to enjoy the things that I am loving today. Spending time with my grandfather and seeing Campbell turn professional. Seeing my girls turning into the young ladies they are today. I nearly wasn’t here to experience that, as I was suicidal. So, I will hammer him every day asking if he’s OK.”

Ricky Hatton’s Drug Use Before Death

In that same interview with Daily Mail, Hatton pointed to his past drug use in addition to drinking. “So, consequently I got more depressed, and I ended up taking drugs to enable me to drink more, and it was a vicious circle,” he said.

In mid-2018, a video of Hatton’s cocaine usage surfaced, and he entered rehab, according to multiple outlets.

How Did Ricky Hatton Die? His Cause of Death

Hatton’s official cause of death has not been determined by the time of publication. Authorities were called to Hatton’s Hyde, Greater Manchester, England, home, where he was found dead. Greater Manchester Police noted his death was not considered “suspicious” in a public statement.

If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or considering suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Darshan Kumaar opened up on how he struggles to get a banner film even today. Despite his performances in The Kashmir Files and Mary Kom, the actor revealed how producers and directors request actors to reduce their fees. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Darshan Kumaar admitted it’s still a struggle for him to get big banner films. Scroll down to read more and watch the full interview.

Darshan Kumaar Reveals Not Getting Big Banner Films

Speaking about how he got big banner films like Mary Kom, Darshan Kumaar revealed, “Abhi bhi aapko bade easily kuchh woh ho jaata hai. Abhi bhi yeh hai ki producers kehte hain directors ko ki unko manao, woh bahut charge kar rahe hain — A-listed directors. Aur directors keh rahe hain ki producer, main jitne bade level ki larger-than-life film banana chahta hoon.”

Darshan Says Producers Ask Directors To Request Actors To Reduce Their Fees

The actor clarified that the producers ask directors to request actors to adjust their fees accordingly. Darshan said, “Woh A-list matlab superstars ke saath kaam kar rahe hain toh theek hai. Lekin agar aapke saath karein, toh unko bolo thoda sa adjust karein. Maine kaha, main yeh baat kaise kar sakta hoon? Aur directors kehte hain ki yaar, producer ko thoda samajhna chahiye. Meri toh fees hai, ya yeh film ka itna budget toh hoga hi hoga. Woh kaise hoga? Toh woh thoda sa abhi bhi jung chalu hai. Even The Kashmir Files, jismein maine lead kiya, 400 crore kamaayi. Mujhe lagta hai koi aur hota toh shayad alag hi baat hoti.”

When asked, despite giving such hits, why does he have to face this, the actor responded, “Abhi tak bhi, abhi tak problem aati hai badi filmon ko leke.”

‘I Used To Sweep The Set of An Ad Under The Feet of Actors’, Kayoze Irani Opened Up On His Internship Struggles

This year seems to be the debut year of Bollywood nepo kids after Ahaan Panday and Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan. Now, actor Boman Irani’s son Kayoze Irani has also made his debut as a director with the film Sarzameen. But he has carved his niche in the film industry before this. Kayoze Irani attended an interview in which he said, ‘I think I am not a thinker, so I cannot make any big claim. But I think that when you make a film where you are sharing something from your life, then honesty comes into your film’.

Kayoze Irani

Kayoze further said, ‘When that honesty comes, the film itself becomes good. See where to put the camera of the film, how the craft should be, it can happen, but the story is king. Your script should be strong; otherwise, no one can save you.’ Talking about the hard work to get fame and success in the industry, Kayoze said, ‘You have to work very hard. I am the son of a big actor, but I started as an intern. In my first job, I had to sweep the set of an ad film. So I used to clean the set by getting under the actor’s feet.’

Kayoze Irani

Talking about the differences with his father, Bama Irani, Kayoze said, ‘There is a lot of love in my house. I get so much love from my mother, but I feel that a child wants to be like his father. We have different thoughts on some topics with Papa, but our friendship is very strong. Whenever we talk, everyone listens to each other, but when Papa gives his opinion, it is just an opinion; he does not say that this is how it should be. That means we have the freedom to express our views and follow them.’

Kayoze Irani

Talking about casting Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in his first directorial film ‘Sarzameen’, he says, ‘I never felt that I am working with such big stars like Kajol ma’am and Prithviraj sir. They have given me a lot of respect. They made it very easy for me to make this film. They helped me a lot. As far as today’s generation is concerned, we are in the era of social media.’

Ileana D’Cruz is married to Michael Dolan and is the mother of two sons. Their first child, Koa Phoenix Dolan, was born on August 1, 2023.

In a candid conversation about all things motherhood, on an Instagram Live on August 30 for Live for Freedom To Feed, Ileana D’Cruz shared with actor Neha Dhupia about how she is navigating parenting. She talked about one of the first essentials of early motherhood, which is breastfeeding, and how the journey was, including any initial inhibitions.

First reaction

Before stepping into motherhood, especially around the time before the delivery, many often turn to their close friends for guidance, what to expect. Illeana did the same, gathering details of what to expect so she could prepare.

She said, “She did tell me, you know, breastfeeding is really intense. It can be really painful, but she’s like, it’s the most beautiful thing as well. And she was absolutely right. She’s like, it was definitely painful initially. And then, you know, you have the other complications that come with breastfeeding… I had no idea it was going to be as intensely painful as it was.” The initial reaction was a bit overwhelming, wondering about the possible complications and how the process of breastfeeding can be painful.

But Illeana also acknowledged how breastfeeding is a privilege. She continued, “But it is such a, I don’t know, maybe privilege is the right word. It’s such a privilege to be able to feed your child, and the connection that you can have with your baby is really lovely.” Breastfeeding allows a mother to bond and connect with the child in a special way.

Illeana’s experience with breastfeeding

The actor further recalled her first experience with breastfeeding, when she was very stressed. As a new mother navigating those first moments, Ileana remembered feeling judged by a lactation consultant at the hospital.

“At the hospital, we were told, you know, ‘Would you like a lactation consultant to come and speak with you’? So I was like, ‘Yeah, of course, you know, I’d love to have an expert come and talk to me’. And I just felt so much judgment from this woman. She was like, the first question, she’s like, ‘Do you plan to breastfeed? Are you going to be formula feeding as well’? And I’m like, ‘Well, I plan to breastfeed only, but you know, you don’t know what’s going to happen’… I’m like, every woman has her own journey. Every mother has her own journey with her child, and you know, what’s best for your kid, instinctively, ” she shared.

There was a lot of contradictory information from everyone around, which confused the actor initially, as everyone had their two cents. Illeana shared another personal experience where someone at the hospital told her not to pump milk for six weeks, while her doctor recommended it earlier due to inflammation. Looking back, Illeana remembered that she was worried a lot, “I think I was so worried. It’s very, very painful. So like I had a fever and everything was really bad.” Especially for the first time around, she admitted to depending on the lactation expert, fearing that any mistake would harm the baby’s health. But as time went on, she learnt how to trust her instincts.

Jake Anderson Struggles Amid Death of His Uncle Nick Mavar

[Warning: The below contains spoilers for Deadliest Catch Season 21]

At the start of the August 29 episode of Deadliest Catch, Captain Keith Colburn spoke about the danger factor of the job and reflected on losing friends over his storied career. Perhaps none knows this more at the moment than Jake Anderson. 

During the episode the Titan Explorer captain expressed frustration at his lack of progress. He received a call from his Uncle John Mavar, who was checking in with his nephew. Members of the family were having dinner on what would have been Jake’s Uncle Nick Mavar’s birthday. “It has been a lot harder than I thought,” Jake said. John said the best way to honor him was to catch king crab. Nick was a regular on the Discovery Channel series almost 100 episodes across much of the show’s run.

Nick Mavar/Facebook

 Nick died of a heart attack in Crystal Bay, Alaska on June 13, 2024. Jake found out about his relative during his son Cadence’s birthday. This news hit him hard considering it was Nick who Jake credited with helping through addiction and got him started in the crabbing industry. “It’s the biggest gift I have ever been given,” Jake said. “My Uncle Nick picked me up and helped save my life.” With the passing weighing on his mind, Jake knew he had to move forward with the task at hand. He looked to move northeast and a canyon area, which has been where crabs go in to hide from the tides and currents. There were four or five days left until an offloading deadline. 

Jake was trying to organize a memorial and began reaching out to other captains. First was Sig Hansen, who was working through his own issues on the Northwestern. Sig met with crew member and son-in-law Clark Pederson to work through a ledge and ridge that were impeding their crab numbers. They looked to create a counterweight to pull the pots and tighten up the line. Sig also had Nick on his mind and felt his presence. He ended up working through the problem and received a big score.

The Wizard had around 40,000 pounds before drop off. Keith Colburn bet the farm on the one space. However, the hot-headed captain needed to figure out why he wasn’t getting the results he wanted. He stepped out to find new bait and old bait were on top of each other. This led to a shouting match between Keith and his brother Monte over the fish issue.

Jake rang Keith in the middle of their argument to talk about Nick. Keith was on board for any kind of tribute. He got emotional about the call and told Monte they had to get things right. It got them both thinking how there are more important things than what they were arguing about. The call put things in perspective. Keith told “Mouse” he never thanked him for saving his life after his medical emergency suffered onboard last season. The two embraced. An emotional moment for the brothers. Keith said, “I don’t say I love you enough. I don’t say thank you enough to my brother. I have to start remembering that.” 

Elsewhere, the Aleutian Lady were in the midst of a storm to work through. Co-captains Sophia “Bob” Nielsen and Rick Shelford heard thunderous sounds. Rick went down to investigate and found out the pump three shut off and wouldn’t turn back on. There were more than a quarter of a million dollars that could be lost due to a slack tank in the middle of the storm. The crew needed to get water back into the tank pronto. Rick noticed the breaker was tripped, even though the alarm didn’t go off. The pump was working and the breaker reset but dead crab was a real concern. They had to offload quickly to find out what kind of damage was done. Offloading out  in the  sea with boats rocking was easier said than done. Swells were coming on strong, but they fulfilled their mission. Luckily, not much was lost. 

Jake put out a call on the radio to honor his Uncle Nick. The other captains listened in with tears flowing throughout. “If anyone wants to take a moment to say a prayer, my family would really appreciate it, “Jake added. Keith said his prayer for the fallen shipmate and tolled the bell to mark Nick’s “final watch.” Jake fired off a pot with his name and years of life on it. Sig and crew shared a drink. Keith led off fireworks with clips shown from Nick’s time on the show. A heartwarming scene.
