“I know I’m not alone and more important, to all those like me who over schedule, overthink, overwork, over-worry and over-everything, please know you’re not alone.

Ryan’s longtime friend Hugh Jackman applauded the actor for being so candid, tweeting: “Mate – your honesty is not only brave but, I’m positive will help countless others who struggle with anxiety too. Good on you!”
