Stephen Amell Gets Candid After Suffering a Panic Attack During an Interview

Stephen Amell is opening up about suffering a panic attack in the middle of an interview.

The 38-year-old Arrow actor explained that he was in a bad place while speaking on the Inside of You podcast, which he ended up having to cut short.

“I did Rosey’s podcast after Arrow ended. We had to cut it short because I had a full on panic attack. It wasn’t pretty. I came back a few weeks ago to chat about it. I was in a really bad spot and I’m happy to report that I’m doing much better,” Stephen wrote on his Twitter.

During the interview, Stephen explained that he was “struggling” with the end of Arrow and was feeling “mentally exhausted.”

Soon after, he can be heard asking, “Is it hot in here or am I just sweating?” and later stopping the interview. “I’m not feeling well at all. I think I just got to go. I just kind of want to walk. I just need fresh air,” Stephen explained.

When Stephen returned to finish the interview several weeks later, he said he previously hadn’t processed his feelings about Arrow and speaking out his feelings had triggered him. He added that he also checked in with a doctor, who gave him a clean bill of health.

We’re glad Stephen is in a better mental space now!
