LOS ANGELES, USA – Hollywood star Emile Hirsch was sentenced to two weeks in jail after pleading guilty to assaulting a Paramount movie executive at the Sundance Film Festival, US media reported Monday, August 17.
The Into the Wild star also was fined $4,750 and sentenced to 50 hours of community service for attacking executive Daniele Bernfeld at a disco in Park City in January, at a hearing in the Utah city that hosts the famous festival.
The actor – who earlier said he was drunk and does not recall the incident – said there was “no excuse. It was wrong, reckless.”
“I thought I was going to die,” he added.
Hirsch, 30, recently went to rehab for alcohol addiction.
He also apologized to Bernfeld.
The actor is known for edgy and challenging roles – such as AIDS and LGBT rights activist Cleve Jones in Milk. – Rappler.com
