Former AFL star Ben Cousins is the subject of a new documentary, Ben Cousins: Coming Clean Which will air this Sunday on Seven.
From Brownlow medallist to prisoner. The epic new chapter on one of the greatest sporting downfalls in Australian history.
To footy fans Australia-wide, Ben Cousins was an AFL god. A hero and legend of the game.
But off the field, Cousin’s life went spectacularly off the rails – brought down by a decade-long and very public addiction to drugs.
The last time Cousins spoke publicly was 10 years ago. A lot has happened in that time, including two recent stints behind bars.
Relentless speculation and innuendo about his health and state of mind have shadowed him every step of the way.
Now Cousins is ‘coming clean’ … and nothing is off limits in this landmark 7News Documentary: powerful admissions about drugs, jail time, and his surprising future.
For the deeply troubled and often unpredictable Cousins, he says after years of silence it’s time to address the many unanswered questions and to set the record straight as part of his ongoing and tenuous recovery – for his family, friends, former colleagues and the public.
Sunday 29 March at 8pm on Seven.
