In the tribute that he posted on Facebook, the 'Iron Man' star urged fans to express their love for their mothers and admitted that his mother ultimately inspired him to get sober.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, he praised both his parents for the work they did together and recalled how a call she made to him at his lowest ebb made him overcome his addictions.
