Ryan Reynolds on Anxiety After Wrapping Deadpool

Speaking candidly with GQ, Reynolds shares how he experienced anxiety after filming wrapped for Deadpool. The 40-year-old actor explains, “I felt like I was on some schooner in the middle of a white squall the whole time. It just never stopped.” Reynolds continues, “When it finally ended, I had a little bit of a nervous breakdown. I literally had the shakes. I went to go see a doctor because I felt like I was suffering from a neurological problem or something. And every doctor I saw said, ‘You have anxiety.'”

Already ahead of critics, Reynolds relates, “I say this with the caveat that I completely recognize the ridiculously fortunate position that I am in. But the attention is hard on your nervous system—that might be why I live out in the woods. And I was banging the loudest drum for Deadpool. I wasn’t just trying to open it; I was trying to make a cultural phenomenon.” Read more on GQ.com.
