"I tend to get pretty depressed and I have some issues with anxiety and things like that," he confessed in an interview with Mr. Porter magazine
He said that he exercises every day because "otherwise, I start to get a little bummed. For me, it is more psychological. Exercise is a means of expelling those demons.”
Ryan said that he's suffered with anxiety every since he was a child, which he believes was caused by his relationship with his father.
”This is not meant to be some sob story – everyone carries their own bag of rocks around and I am no different in that regard – but growing up in my house, it was never relaxing or easy and I know that, throughout my life, I’ve dealt with anxiety in different ways.”
Ryan Reynolds added: ”I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but anxiety is also a great fuel. I mean, my God, it’s the anti-complacency pill, but it’s also something that you need to manage.”

Coincidentally, I ran into @RealHughJackman at his coffee shop, @laughingmanco after I followed him there. pic.twitter.com/sFrpmEuF97
