    Before Justin Beiber, the world had Leif Garrett. Although life has taken some crazy turns, he is still in the game and doing his thing!

    Keep it up, Leif! Our past doesn’t define who we are becoming. It just shows how far we’ve gone to get where we are currently. He always had talent. And is still loved and admired today. Big hugs 🤗 ♥️✨

      I saw him at the Burbank airport in May of 1979 traveling with a small entourage, and I was impressed that he was waiting at the luggage carousel to claim and carry his own luggage just like the rest of us.

    Loved Leif Garrett when I was a teenager. Met him in a small bar in New Brunswick, NJ (probably in the late 90s) when he was with his band F8. He was very sweet & polite. Gotta find that picture of us! I wish him all the best. God Bless.❤

    He deserves to be happy and should be proud of his sobriety . He has had alot of ups and downs but in this later part of his life seems to have a good head on his shoulders and has overcome the negativity that alot of haters seem to wish on him . I think he deserves to be happy and is a good role model for ppl now

    I remember my 10 year old self falling madly in love with Leif when I saw him on "Three for the road"..Then I discovered Tiger Beat,and Teen Beat magazines and I had Leif plastered all over my bedroom walls..Of course like all 11 year old girls I found myself falling for Shaun Cassidy who ended up being Leif's competition..I hate that Leif had such a complicated life and to be honest his mother was responsible for not watching out for her teenage son..She admitted to this after he was already a full blown addict..I wish Leif nothing but health and happiness God knows he has earned it..❤

    OMG, I remember him. I had a big fat crush. At 17 I was in love with him. I'm so glad he is doing better. I used to watch Celebrity Rehab. I'm glad it's off the air. This is horrible what they did to people.

    I grew up enjoying Garrett's movie and television performances, especially the canceled "Three For The Road"
    Didn't know until I watched your video that he and Dawn "Dodie Douglas" Lyn are siblings!... Never once heard about that in all these years...

    You forgot to mention his 1980 album, Can't Explain, which was described as his first "real" album! Otherwise, love the detail and presentation, and especially that you take a non-biased approach to telling his story. You've earned my subscription :)

    He should do nostalgia tours as many former teen heart throbs do. Managed correctly, this could be lucrative for him. One-tme teen fans have a lot of disposable $$$ now and are willing to spend it on a look back.

    Sad people blame others for their weakness he was on Top of the world when he began drugs and he loved it as all drug users do , he never learned truth to whom much is given much is required . Now drugs have destroyed his future health . Pity him born in Hollywood Hell city of drugs and sexual perversion

    In the beginning of this video, it was said Garret was born in 1961. I'm not a mathmetician, but i don't think these numbers add up.

    To the Narrator ~ You need to try more to sound like you're NOT reading, but just talking. Its a little too robotic. Work on it. Also, words like 'singer' are not pronounced 'sinGRR'. The g is soft in ing words. You need to pronounce words correctly.
