Jon Bernthal<\/strong> has become a leader in Hollywood, on and off the screen, as The Punisher star has helped a ton of A-list actors maintain their sobriety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something special about Jon\u2019s energy and, yes, his sobriety, that people just want to be around,\u201d a source exclusively tells Globe. \u201cIt\u2019s not an act. The guy practices what he preaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the source, Bernthal, 48, has \u201chad a huge impact\u201d on actors like Tom Holland<\/strong>, Bradley Cooper<\/strong>, Shia LaBeouf<\/strong> and Ben Affleck<\/strong>, with whom he recently starred alongside in The Accountant 2.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Tom and Ben] have had some tough demons to battle over the last few years,\u201d the source adds. \u201cJon has become a leader within his generation for this kind of stuff, and even his former costars like Shia LeBeouf look to him for guidance and support as they chart their own journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernthal \u2013 who is currently shooting his second film in a row with the Spider-Man star \u2013 has been sober since 2009 after a bar fight forced him to reevaluate his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ended up hitting a guy and he got knocked out and hit his head on the ground,\u201d Bernthal told Dax Shepard<\/strong> during a May appearance on his \u201cArmchair Expert\u201d podcast<\/a>. While behind bars, he recalled\u00a0 \u201cnot knowing whether this guy was going to wake up. It was literally as profound and clear a moment as I\u2019ve ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernthal reflected on turning his life around before landing his role in The Walking Dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going this way, this is your life now,\u201d he added. \u201c[A year later] I was in Atlanta, starting The Walking Dead, engaged to my wife, a year sober. A year later, my first son, Henry<\/strong>, was born. I\u2019m like blown away with gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all comes down to authenticity,\u201d the source says. \u201cJon comes from a very real place and relates to people and their struggles intensely \u2026 The guy is in incredible shape and he\u2019s a living example of what can be accomplished when you buckle down and focus on your mental and physical health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
