Luke Evans is opening up about suffering “terrible anxiety” over insecurities about his body image.
“I’m not massively confident about a lot of things about me, but I’ve learned to deal with it and not ignore it and understand why and process it,” the actor, 45, said on Wednesday’s episode of the “How to Fail with Elizabeth Day” podcast. “It doesn’t go away.”
Evans, known for his roles in films like “Dracula Untold” and Disney’s live-action “Beauty and the Beast,” where he’s shown off his fit physique, was honest about how aging has affected his self-esteem due to the nature of his career.
“I still sometimes go to the gym and just feel very anxious. I look at myself in the mirror and just go, ‘You don’t look good enough,’ or ‘You’re letting it go,’” he said. “I look at my face … the terrible part of my industry is that you’re just reminded constantly of the decades of film you’ve done when you had not a crease on the face and not one gray stubble, whereas all my stubble is now gray.”
