Paul Sculfor, once one of the most sought-after male models in the late 90s and early 2000s, has opened up about his struggles behind the scenes, revealing the dark battles he faced despite his glamorous career.
At 21, Sculfor’s life took a major turn when his mother secretly signed him up for a modeling competition. This pivotal moment is one he credits as the beginning of his successful career. From there, he became the face of numerous high-profile campaigns, gaining attention for his striking good looks and effortless charm. However, his career in the spotlight came with its own set of challenges.
Sculfor’s personal life quickly became just as public as his career. His high-profile romances with Hollywood stars like Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, and Lisa Snowdon kept fans and the media buzzing, solidifying his place in the public eye. Yet behind the headlines, Sculfor was dealing with much more than just the pressures of fame.
Struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, Paul hit rock bottom and found himself at a breaking point. The relentless pressure of his career and personal demons led to a dark period where he even contemplated taking his own life. Recognizing that he needed help, Sculfor entered the Priory rehabilitation center, a renowned facility that has supported many celebrities, including Kate Moss, Robbie Williams, and Lily Allen. There, he spent six months working on his recovery.
Today, at 54, Paul Sculfor has left his troubled past behind and embraced a quieter, more peaceful life. He now resides in East London with his wife, Dr. Federica Amati, a nutritionist, and their two young daughters. His story is one of resilience, showing that even those who appear to have it all can face immense personal battles. Sculfor’s journey is a reminder of the importance of seeking help and taking the necessary steps toward healing.
