Former teen idol Leif Garrett bares his soul for the first time ever, revealing his deepest secrets about the extraordinary highs and devastating lows he has survived over the years.
He was a hardworking child actor in the early 1970s, appearing on dozens of popular films and TV programs. Then he was offered a chance to make a record and “Leif Garrett, teen idol” was born. Millions of teenage girls all over the world covered their walls with his picture. His face adorned hundreds of international magazine covers as he became one of the biggest and most desired heartthrobs in history. There were jet-setting tours, TV specials, and hit records, along with an endless supply of beautiful women, alcohol, and ultimately, the drugs that sent this shooting star into the darkest depths of addiction. Idol Truth is a harrowing survivor’s story as well as a charmed tale filled with compelling pop culture characters-from Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields to John Belushi, Freddie Mercury, and many more. It’s the first time ever that Leif Garrett has come clean about his life, revealing all the details of his spectacular journey.

He was a big part of my early teens . Such a beautiful person . After reading his book one can’t help but feel that those who should have been watching out for him, didn’t. So sad I pray things get better for him.
I ordered the book last week and it came a few days ago. I started reading it this morning and oh my goodness what a great read so far.
I ordered the book 2 through Amazon I'm up to the part where he's meeting David McLeod.
And if you do Google David you'll see all the stuff that.. he did he was a total perv. His mom just pretty much let these men take him anywhere. I think she had good intentions but she was naive. He starts really taken cocaine around the age of 15
I remember in high school, I had a T-shirt with a big picture of Leif Garett
i was LUCKY enough to meet leif in 1977 and 1978...HUGE FAN STILL
I would have liked to met him.
I wasn't even born in the 1970s or 80s but I would have loved to met him back then and I think we would have been great bffs best friends forever and so I can help him be sober from his addictions and so I can love him and be by his side as a BFF forever 😊❤️❤️. My father is an alcoholic I know what he went and been through because my dad has an alcoholic addiction and he's sick and he needs help my dad had kidney cancer renal cell carcinoma and In his one of his kidneys and he had his kidney taken out October 2th and he's going back to work soon and he's recovering well and he has done well from his surgery and I bless my dad and lefi Garrett to get through this and I pray for Jesus to help lefi and my dad too God bless you my dad and lefi Garrett ❤❤😊.
I hope nothing but the best for him
How can anyone not love Leif?❤😚
Can´t wait to read it. Leif Garrett was the hottest Teen Idol of the late 70´s. I remember Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy battled it out to be the hottest Teen Idol.....obviousley Leif took over the Teen Idol Arena!!!
I loved Leif. Couldn't wait to see him in all the teen magazines. I looked forward to them.
No offense to Shaun but I always thought Leif was way hotter.
Nothing has changed......it is all like day one ....Magic!
Almost through with it !! Wow, I love that there's so much that I never knew, instead of the same stories over and over that people want to bring up. He tried to bury a dad blame car !!!! I love Leif forever !!
Yes I’m reading “Idol Truth” now and yes, he did try to bury a car! 😆
When I read that I HAD TO 😂 LAUGH!
I pray for the best to happen to Leif...and that's for him to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ...to become a born again Christian! I wish you Jesus, Leif! I love you, always! ❤
Absolutely, my prayer as well. God certainly has spared Leif’s life in so many ways so hopefully Leif will make that important decision to follow the Lord.
I forgot how adorable he was
He’s smoking hot 🥵
Another thing I would like to add is that Leif Garrett is not the only one that has fallen the way he has because of producers or those that contracted him to do records, events, concerts etc. Many others such as those of different strokes were used and taken advantage of and then disposed of like their lives didn’t matter.
He is on drugs, his mother treats him in a state of stocking, and has no way to teach his children
Being a solo singer must be tough being in stardom. Group band said they have a support system as not alone. Regardless being in public eyes must be stressful.
I hope there will be Leif Garrett movie just like Bohemian Rhapsody, you know with songs, please! :)
Yep an imagine growing up in the late 70’s and sharing the same first name. And I still get it from folks over 45 still today
Espantoso este artista. Já se está a concluir o grandioso futuro deste jovem.
I listened to the audio book for Idol Truth and I enjoyed it. I think the irony is that Leif was so upset throughout the book of Lip syncing and how it caused so many problems for him. He should have at least used his voice to narrate the book!!!
Yes, it would have been nice to hear his voice.
I Got This Book At Barnes And Nobles For My Bday Yesterday / Cant Wait To Read It /So Happy 😀
Hope you enjoy it and Happy Birthday. I had my copy for Christmas. The chapters are short but I enjoyed reading it.
I remember seeing him in my brothers CREEM rock magazine back in the day. I was crazy about girls at the time, but whew, I thought he was gorgeous.
Currently reading his book ugh don’t want it to end 💔112620
the most beautiful boy in the world bring me here
Björn Andrésen and Leif Garrete has a beautiful angelic face
I definitely remember this guy....I had such a big crush on him😁🥰🤩
He had a nice butt
Can't explain (see what I did there) how excited I am for this book. I've wished for so many years, that Leif would write it, and come September it's going to be in my hands. It's beyond a dream come true. Can't wait.
Such a great book ❤️IT😊‼️
I am a Chinese fan of Leif! ! ! He is not a celebrity in mainland China, but I was still attracted by his beauty at first sight! ... He is cute and handsome, and his songs have also been covered by artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Alan Tam and Frankie Kao have sung his songs!
Love him then & now💋💋💋🎶🎶😁
Can't wait for this
Yeah so did I and it BROKE MY HEART!!
I'm reading this book and I mean the amount of women he had sex with before he was even 18... Way older women like 28 29 30.
The amount of Coke.. there really was no supervision. Wow
I too am reading “Idol Truth”, totally unbelievable that not ONE ...not ONE responsible adult tried to rein Leif in or guide him. Leif is an absolute miracle that he survived and lived to tell about it with much more mature wisdom now as he looks back. Great read and as a fan back in the day, my heart hurts for Leif for all he went through and the choices that he made. With no supervision it wasn’t a matter IF he would go totally off the rails but WHEN he would go off the rails. All those “ so called friends/management” that used him back in the day just used Leif as a cash cow and when that dried up, they threw him to the curb.
Prayers for you Leif, keep getting better and remember you have MANY fans who believe in you!!
살아 있는 전설!!!! ㅎㅎ
I had a crush on Leif as a young girl, then met a guy that looked familiar, on looking through his teen photos, I understood why, he was the spitting image in every way of Leif Garrett, its crazy how much they looked alike, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, face shape even figure is exactly the same, I bet he's kicking himself he never realised back then, he could've been his lookalike and got paid for doing as Leif would say, nothing. 😁
Yes am reading it and am loving it so far. 😁
I got my copy pre-ordered alredy!
He was so beautiful at 17 and 18 yrs. Is it natural curly hairs? I am glad he made it thru. Andy Gibb never got out of his demon.
Good song 🎶
I hope he makes some money from this book
I still listen to Leif all the time 😊🥰
Per favore fate uscire anche la traduzione ITALIANA!!!! GRAZIE ❤
Eu queria tanto este livro aqui no Brasil, sou fã dele desde os anos 70. Leif ❤️
I can't wait to hear about him and Nicollete
Why was his hand 🤚🏻 on her upper thigh when they were in the bed 🛏️
Nadie va igualar la sensualidad y bellesa como se movia era unico leif vello el mas vello de todos los tiempos tendria que aver una maquina del tiempo para que vuelva unico leif jja jja❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
I loved him them and I love him now, 😍 love and light to you Leif 🙏❤️
I am looking forward to reading it and can't wait to see what pictures are in it.
I am going to get it also , saw him on Dr. Oz he had a hard rode with having been so famous so young. I think he didn't have anyone to watch out for him. He got pretty much what ever he wanted.
One thing I noticed he kind of skipped over or barely discussed his affair with Diane Lane he talked about it in the premiere magazine article years ago with the Outsiders so we know they fucked but all he says in the book is I feel bad for what happened. my man.
Icon!
Still a good singer 🎶❤️
He started filiming a movie in 1982, Gossip, which was never completed as I read there were money issues. In 1983 he was supposed to be in Hi-Jinx, a college comedy with Todd Bridges and Scott Baio, which was never made. I hope the book touches on those ones
He doesn't mention any of these. I didn't know about theses movies. He also talked on American Bandstand about a movie he was to star in about a boxer. That didn't happen, either. Don't know why.
@@lorissagross6657 I got the ebook and yeah I was disappointed he doesnt say much about movies from 1980 onward. I found a magazine article online which showed him boxing probably training for the movie, and it was a biographical film planned to have been made around 1979. The powers that be wanted him to be in Longshot instead, possibly because it was more teen oriented film
@@lorissagross6657 also he only weighed about 120 pounds at the time which would not make him effective or realistic as a boxer
SamsungGalaxy Wish he had finished the films and I would have liked to see the show with Leif and Scott Baio. Also would have liked more content in the Idol Truth book, not much personal stuff and really short chapters, though it was easy to read and I could imagine him saying it.
@@samsunggalaxyj3prime889 The movie was supposed to be about an American Indian Featherweight boxing champion, if i recall correctly.
So handsome
Sus canciones me encantan!!!
원조 꽃미소년 아이돌 😍😘🥰
He’s a dream 💭
Love it Noven Jaisi. Can't wait to read it. You should put this on Leif's official Facebook page and website. Originally they said a July book release date. Your video says September. Why was it changed?
Apparently the release is being push to September. Just checked on Amazon.
November 5 is the release date now.
Mm i was thinking about a bio pic, Hollywood needs some good stories, there’s a Spanish singer and looks just like Leif back in the 70s
저때가 진짜 음악이었음 ㅛ.ㅛ
No le sale ninguno jja leif teñia una sensualidad que no la va tener nadie el mas vello de todos los tiempos ❤❤❤❤❤
Subtitulos en español por favor.
Eu quero o mesmo aqui para o Brasil!
What a beautiful boy!
可愛い💖
女性よりも美人。
ブルック・シールズとマリリン・モンローを合わせたような美貌。
其れにアラン・ドロンを少しミックスしたような、翳りのあるハンサム🌹
どの曲も素晴らしい🎉
哀愁でいとより、御本人の歌が１番！！
Lo amó 😍 desde el día 1 forever 😍😍😍🇨🇱🇨🇱💥🔥
So handsome Leif Garrett ❤❤❤❤
Guapisimo❤❤❤❤
He was definitely a cutie!
He had a nice butt
Liked the book but wish it talked more about his home life and mom and sister. Does his sister have kids is he an uncle? I know in book he said when he was about 16 he decided not to bring children into this world. Shame I wish he did, his life might have been different then. The book talks a lot about sex and cocaine surely there is more to Leif than that. In it he said that teen mags kept asking him his favourite food, favourite colour, type of girl etc he should have put a list of those questions and answers in at the end even for a joke as i'd have liked to know the answers.
I couldn't get over the amount of older... Women that he was with before he was even 18!! it was the seventies and his mom was just letting him do whatever it was a completely different era she was kind of naive.
@@peck404 I think the story where he worked in a bike shop was good. You might not have read that bit yet.
빛나던 청춘은 어디가고 슬퍼요
He was getting it
Can't wait to read it. I wonder if he knew Andy Gibb. Andy and Leif were my sister and I favorite teen stars. We liked the bad boys haha.
You'll love reading about Andy in the book!
Yes he mentions Andy Gibb.
Was he friends with rex smith
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wooow !😯
He’s smoking hot 🥵
