Baby No. 2! Hunger Games actor Wes Bentley and his wife Jacqui Swedberg welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Brooklyn, this past June, his rep confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

The happy couple are already proud parents to toddler son Charles.

In an interview with UK's Independent in April 2014, the American Beauty actor opened up about his past struggle with heroin and cocaine. 

"I came to Hollywood and I got caught up in all the glitz and glamour of the nightlife," the Arkansas-raised actor said in reference to his decade long drug bender. "All the stuff I had no idea about in Arkansas. In a way, it made me a little more prone to it. It was like looking behind the curtain. And I went behind the curtain and hung out."
