Billionaire James Packer and superstar Robbie Williams | A deeply honest and powerful conversation

James Packer is best known as the billionaire businessman.
What many don't know is the private mental health battle he’s faced since his late 20s, a fight so crippling, he has been suicidal.
It’s fair to say anyone with Packer’s fortune expects little in the way of sympathy. But that’s the point about mental illness: it doesn’t discriminate.
In this candid, warts-and-all exclusive interview, Packer opens up about his deeply personal and decades-long struggle.
Packer is raw and honest as he reveals in his first television interview in over a decade some of the darkest times in his life, the merry-go-round of medication and doctors who have tried to help, and the daily addiction he can’t shake.
Packer’s conversation is one of several featured by 7NEWS Spotlight as part of a broader, hour-long special on mental health ahead of the release of a powerful book, Profiles in Hope, by John Brogden, the former NSW Liberal leader and now President of Lifeline International.
