Ryan Reynolds has made somber confession about secret struggle with anxiety, revealing “it’s a slippery slope.”
During a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Deadpool & Wolverine star addressed Martha Stewart's recent claims about him being "not so funny" in real life.
“I don’t think what happened was designed to hurt anyone. That was just an incredibly valid observation that someone made,” Reynolds told the outlet.
He went on to explain, "I can’t imagine entering any room in which I don’t intimately know the people, where I suddenly kind of turn on and perform."
The IF actor further confessed about living with anxiety since childhood.
"I’ve always been one to be very quiet, and part of that is anxiety I’ve carried with me since I was a kid," Reynolds said.
He added, "And at times it’s very normal for anyone and everyone to experience anxiety. Some people’s anxiety, and I include mine, has a tendency to go down a slippery slope that needs to be managed to some degree."
Moreover, Martha Stewart made the comment about Reynolds on Bilt Rewards’ November Rent Free game show, where she was asked about celebrities, she thought respondents had named as the most fun to hang out with.
"Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those? And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious,” she said at the time.
Later on, Ryan Reynolds also playfully responded on X.
