Ryan Phillippe has revealed that he was on the verge of suicide after his divorce to Reese Witherspoon, in a recent interview with U.K. magazine, Man About Town.
The Stop Loss actor said he couldn’t cope for a while after the split, and used to wake up physically sick most mornings.
“After the divorce, I was a physical wreck. I wanted to die,” he said.
“I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit.”
There is a plus to all the emotional baggage the star carries around with him now, though: he’s able to cry on cue when he’s filming, whereas before it used to be near-impossible.
“Now, it’s f—king easy,” he explained. “When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.”
At least he’s looking on the bright side of it all.
