Ryan Reynolds along with Michael Phelps and others, have THIS thing in common and it is not what you think. Explore more here.

&#8216;Deadpool&#8217; Actor Ryan Reynolds and American Hero Michael Phelps Share a Surprising Commonality and It Shows the Upsetting Downside of Fame

Being a public figure exposes you to a kind of life that you would never
imagine. People shower their love on you. They follow you, and you get to be in
touch with millions of people without ever touching them. Celebrity life is also
a responsibility. As people follow you as an example, they are constantly
concerned about their appearance, words, and almost everything that can
influence people. However, Ryan Reynolds and some other celebrities have this
thing in common that makes them a little different from traditional mindsets.

We live in a society where we usually respond to women’s emotional needs,
support, and mental health. But when it comes to men, we have a different
approach. Therefore, celebrities, especially male actors, tend to be careful
with their behavior and emotional exposure. Despite some rigid norms and
mentalities, celebrities like Ryan Reynolds, Michael Phelps, and others share
this surprising commonality.


RYAN REYNOLDS AND MICHAEL PHELPS HAVE THIS SURPRISING COMMONALITY

Michael Fred Phelps II is an American former competitive swimmer. He is the most
successful and most decorated Olympian of all time, with 28 medals. The
37-years-old American hero doesn’t share his profession with the Deadpool

But they have something in common that would make you think about the idea of
mental health a little differently.

We all know about Ryan Reynolds’s fear
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ryan-reynolds-reveals-the-uncanny-reason-for-his-fear-of-airplanes-and-it-involves-a-scary-flashback/]
and how he overcame it. However, there’s more to this side of the actor. Ryan
had revealed [https://mashable.com/article/men-mental-health-stigma-celebrities]
that he regularly experiences anxiety. Being constantly surrounded by people,
not getting some personal space, and social constructs restricted many male
celebrities from openly discussing these things.

America’s most decorated Olympian in history, Michael Phelps, also opened up
about having depression and suicidal thoughts. Men do not talk about having
depression, anxiety issues, or any mental health problems. But Jane the Virgin
star Justin Baldoni started the conversation on an open platform.



He talked deeply about the issue in the 2017 TEDWomen talk. Following the talk,
many stars opened up about their mental health issues, including Dwayne “The
Rock” Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dwayne-the-rock-johnson/],
Kevin Love, and many more. Their experiences throw light on the downside of
fame.
