A Perfect Heart charts John's incredible journey towards a new beginning with warmth, humor and honesty. In it, the popular TV star opens up about his present health fears, as well as his past traumas, revealing the sexual abuse he suffered as a child and the hidden side of a drug and alcohol-fueled lifestyle that quickly spiraled out of control.
