When The LAD Bible posted a (since-deleted) meme fat-shaming Prison Break star Wentworth Miller on Monday, he addressed it by opening up about his suicidal past. The 43-year-old Golden Globe nominee explained on Facebook that the 2010 pictures of his fuller figure were taken during 'the lowest point in my adult life.'
'I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food,' the British-born, Brooklyn-raised actor wrote.
'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***ing deal.'
Wentworth continued: 'Now, when I see that image of me in my red t-shirt, a rare smile on my face, I am reminded of my struggle. My endurance and my perseverance in the face of all kinds of demons...Like a dandelion up through the pavement, I persist.'
Miller - who's struggled with this since age 5 - then urged others with depression to contact the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.It wasn't the first time the Princeton grad - who publicly came out in 2013 - detailed his battle with mental illness.
In prison break...
