Share

Stephen Amell, the star of Arrow and the heart of The CW’s larger interconnected Arrowverse, come clean about the panic attack he had while doing an episode of the podcast Inside of You.

According to Yahoo News, “Amell had wrapped his eighth and final season on the CW superhero series, only a couple of weeks before, and he was open about how tired he felt. “I just feel like I’ve been trying to do things for people for the past eight years, and I just need a f***ing break,” Amell told Smallville star-turned-podcaster Michael Rosenbaum. “I wanna be a dad. I wanna be a husband. I don’t even really want to talk to my friends that much. I just need a break, and I cried about it twice today.”

After chatting about some topics that clearly emotionally moved him, Amell said needed to end the conversation short when he began to sweat. Then, he said he was going to be sick.

“I might have to cut this short, man. I’m not feeling well at all,” Amell said.

He refuses Rosenbaum’s offer of Tylenol and water.

“No, I think I just gotta go,” he said.

Amell said he wanted to walk, despite Rosenbaum’s offer to give him a ride. The actor needed fresh air, he said.

He returned a couple of weeks later to re-record the session and spoke about what happened, explaining he’d begun having a panic attack.

Amell is happy to talk about  this experience caught on camera because he thinks it will help de-stigmatize the mental illness condition.
