4:36Now PlayingPrison Break star Wentworth Miller has opened up about his weight gain. He was depressed and suicidal and gained a few pounds so the internet pounced. Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger), and Aasha Davis, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"“In 2010, semi-retired from acting, I was keeping a low-profile for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I was suicidal.
“In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food. It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me through. There were stretches when the highlight of my week was a favorite meal and a new episode of TOP CHEF. Sometimes that was enough. Had to be. And I put on weight. Big f—king deal.”
“The first time I tried to kill myself I was 15… I waited till I was alone in the house… and I swallowed a bottle of pills.
“And when someone asks me if that was a cry for help I say ‘no’, because you only cry for help if you believe there’s someone to cry for.””*
