In May, which marks Mental Health Awareness Month, Hugh Jackman passionately championed the cause in 2021. Such efforts from luminaries like Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry are truly commendable. The Me You Can’t See was a documentary series jointly curated by Winfrey and Prince Harry. Particularly, in the wake of the post-pandemic era, when mental health struggles intensified, this Apple TV series acted as a much-needed sanctuary for combating inner demons.

Jackman went the extra mile to give a heartfelt shout-out to this documentary series. In the grand scheme of things, he also tipped his hat to his Deadpool friend, Ryan Reynolds, for bravely baring his soul about his struggles with anxiety.

As the world grappled with the aftermath of the pandemic, and the shadows of depression and mental health issues loomed large, celebrities united to support one another. In this spirit, the documentary series The Me You Can’t See featured star-studded guests like Lady Gaga and Zak Williams, who fearlessly laid bare their inner struggles on the show. This act of courage was truly commendable, and Jackman gave it a heartfelt tip of the hat. Moreover, he lauded Reynolds with the words, “I couldn’t be more proud and inspired by your honesty.”

In that very same month, Reynolds laid bare his struggles with anxiety in an Instagram post. Furthermore, he once even shared that his humor has helped him battle it. Jackman, deeply moved by Reynolds’ raw revelation, chimed in, affirming that this act would be a guiding light for others battling anxiety. He declared that the stigma surrounding mental health should be put to rest once and for all. The show provided a platform for Winfrey’s experiences with anger and assault, and Lady Gaga’s battles with PTSD.

The Duke of Sussex has already bared his soul in his memoir Spare. But, back in 2021, he made significant revelations in the series as well.

The Duke of Sussex back in 2021, reflecting on his memories of Princess Diana, shared with Oprah Winfrey a haunting recollection of being in a car with his brother and mother, relentlessly pursued by paparazzi on mopeds while she wept uncontrollably. This vivid memory left him feeling powerless. He also opened up about how the weight of royal obligations took a toll on his mental health, leading him to seek therapy.

He candidly revealed his struggles with anxiety, drinking, and drugs. The Duke admitted to regrets about not addressing Meghan Markle‘s confession about her suicidal thoughts and detailed plans to end her life, as their royal duties immediately pulled them into a public event, leaving no time to process the situation.
