RIP Torn Took His Demons To The Grave!

RIP TORN — who died at 88 on July 9 — was a beloved movie funnyman in modern comedies like “Men in Black” and “Dodgeball.”

But the laughter hid a shocking, self-destructive secret life!

Born Elmore Rual Torn Jr., the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actor was a rising rocket in Hollywood until his wild dark side emerged.

He was slated for the role that made Jack Nicholson famous in the 1969 counterculture classic “Easy Rider” — until he got into a vicious argument with Dennis Hopper that ended with Rip allegedly trying to stab him!
