In a candid interview, Lewis Pullman opens up about his struggles with anxiety and the pressures of fame, particularly as a rising star in the Marvel franchise, Thunderbolts.

With his mother’s encouragement, he sought therapy at a young age for social anxiety and OCD. Pullman emphasizes the need to prioritize rest and self-care amidst the fast-paced demands of the entertainment industry, acknowledging his human limitations.
Pullman admits, 'I'm such a reactive person. Even being in this loud space, I feel like I'm taking in a lot of data. I think all my senses, the valve is a little too open at all times.'
Discussing the challenges of fame, Pullman reflects, 'You got to remember: You're in a flesh suit. You're still a human. You still need to rest.'
Pullman shares a moment of honesty: 'I don't like feeling out of control in my brain,' acknowledging his struggles with anxiety even amidst a successful career.
He humorously notes of his relaxation strategy, 'I might just do one more glass, because I want to take a nap,' balancing work and self-care.
