"Since probably four or five, I've dealt with anxiety, depression," said the 30-year-old actor.

The star recalled experiencing "weird, anxious-type dreams" as a child, stating that personal things had surfaced when he and his wife Andrea Thoma went for couples therapy before they got married.

"I knew I had always dealt with anxiety, but getting pinpointed ideas about where things started and why you were feeling that way," he said, added: "Anxiety is ever-present in my life, for sure."

"I've come a long way with taking a little pressure off myself...I've always been really hard on myself and I still am, but I put way too much pressure on myself early on and got in my way a lot and I think it shows, in my opinion at least, in the work, like how wound up I was and how focused I was on getting it right. It gets in your way for sure," he said.
