, the actor discussed how his mental health suffered when he suddenly became recognizable at the age of 17 for playing the hilarious McLovin.
"It was very tough to be a nobody one minute and then, literally, two days after the movie came out, it was me getting recognized everywhere," the now 31-year-old star explained."It was very alarming, it was very intense. There was a lot of anxiety, a lot of breakdowns, but I had a great support system of friends and family, a great agent and manager to help me guide a career that I wanted. But it was intense.
TooFab It's funny how most of u ppl on here think because he ws super famous real quick he shouldn't have anything to complain about. Not everyone handles fame the same way. This dude was 17, fresh out of HS, & was prbly a really quiet private shy person.
TooFab I remember running into him at a bar once and his voice is so recognizable. I remember him seeming to be disappointed that we recognized him. Didn’t say anything to him, but certainly gave him a surprised look. I feel bad.
TooFab Money should fix your breakdowns, man.
TooFab Oooh poor me, look like a dork, who never earns or deserves p&ssy, but gets it now free from money in movies, oh whoa es me, such a victim, dont cry for me Argentina, blah blah es BLAAH,learned THAT song before Google? Not seeing a lot of sympathy,for typical junior college,life.
TooFab That check you got from the movie was intense too
TooFab CMP got a couple of shvtty roles after Superbad. His PTSD is justified. If you think you're better CMP, reinvent yourself. Ask this guy. jackieearle one of my faves. You can be both a success and Kelly Leak.
