Ryan Wins Us Over

Ryan Phillippe does a good job winning us over in his latest interview with UK’s Man on the Town magazine. He basically says how hard he took the divorce with Reese Witherspoon and how he sobbed for days. I wonder how he’s accepting the fact that his ex-wife is not dating his ex-bud.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

On being a mess after his divorce from Reese Witherspoon:
“After the divorce I was a physical wreck. I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit.”

On using his past experiences to now cry on demand:
“Now, it’s f–king easy. When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.”

On Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John, who once took him out for tea:
“I was sitting there looking at them interact, and I’m thinking, These people have raised millions of dollars to save people. The potential power of celebrity is astounding.”

On why you won’t see him doing any endorsement deals in the near future:
“If I see actors doing commercials, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones in the T-Mobile ads now. When I see her in a movie it’s hard to disassociate the two.”
