Don - who used to party hard - changed when he met Kelley, a Montessori school teacher.

In 2017 he told DailyMail.com: 'People don’t develop to the place where they can have long-lasting, mature relationships till they’re in their 30s, and for some of us.'

He then said, gesturing to himself, 'It takes even longer than that.'

Don said he stopped doing drugs with the help of Buddhism and New Age self help. He also let go of 'fear.'

'When I was a young man in Hollywood, drugs, alcohol and partying were everywhere and it was hard to escape. 

'It doesn’t become a problem immediately, it takes time, and it led to some poor choices.’

By the late Noughties, Johnson changed, selling off his 20 cars and his ranch in Colorado. 

A few years later, he won a $19 million settlement for a share of the profits from Nash Bridges, which he had conceived with the writer Hunter S Thompson.
