Steve Guttenberg has admitted his ego took over at the height of his Hollywood fame<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old actor became a huge global star thanks to his hit films \u2018Cocoon\u2019, \u2018Three Men and a Baby\u2019 and the \u2018Police Academy\u2019 franchise, and has now confessed he drank the showbiz \u201cKool-Aid\u201d and became consumed with self-importance.<\/p>\n
He told Page Six: \u201cMy God, I drank the Kool-Aid several times and went out and bought a Ferrari and had my times where I thought I was a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor, whose blockbusters also included \u2018Short Circuit\u2019, added about realising fame, fortune and power was meaningless: \u201cYou get to the end of that tunnel and you realise you\u2019re not that big a deal and that nobody\u2019s that big a deal, right? <\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest, the biggest star in the world is not a big deal. The biggest CEO in the world. It\u2019s not a big deal, right? Because you\u2019re fungible. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou\u2019re human, right? You have a limited amount of time to dance on this earth. Try to do the right thing all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSteve credits his parents for eventually keeping him grounded, and said: \u201cMy dad would say to me, \u2018Anytime you want, get your marbles and leave. You don\u2019t have to stay in this thing.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThat was great.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSteve\u2019s dad Stanley Jerome died in the summer of 2022 aged 89 after a battle with a series of health issues related to kidney failure \u2013 and the actor stepped away from showbiz to become a caregiver to his father until he passed away.<\/p>\n
\nAlong with his sister, Steve became a trained dialysis technician so his dad did not have to leave the house for his daily treatments. <\/p>\n
\nHe also told Page Six ahead of the publication of his upcoming memoir \u2018Time to Thank: Caregiving for My Hero\u2019: \u201cI was in love with my dad. He was one of the smartest, strongest, kindest guys ever born on this earth.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe was a US Army Ranger. He was a New York City policeman. He was an electronics executive. He was a caring husband and father and friend. He was a great citizen, a great patriot. And I loved being in his company.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
