Ryan Phillippe: I Would Wake Up and Cry and Vomit

Ryan Phillippe: I Would Wake Up and Cry and Vomit

Ryan Phillipe and his children — Ava, 8, and pizza delivery boy Deacon, 4 — arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles Monday evening after a trip to Philadelphia.

The father-of-two recently sat down for an interview with new magazine Man About Town. Here are some interview snippets:

On being a mess after his divorce from Reese Witherspoon: “After the divorce I was a physical wreck. I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit.”

On using his past experiences to now cry on demand: “Now, it’s f–king easy. When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.”

On why you won’t see him doing any endorsement deals in the near future: “If I see actors doing commercials, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones in the T-Mobile ads now, when I see her in a movie, it’s hard to disassociate the two.”

On Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John, who once took him out for tea: “I was sitting there looking at them interact, and I’m thinking, These people have raised millions of dollars to save people. The potential power of celebrity is astounding.”

Be sure to check out the photo spread of Ryan Phillippe in Man About Town.

2nd!! the kids r cute

He’s the next Brad Pitt!!!!!!! I love him. Girls, I so hope you will enjoy this, ANGELINA’s JOLIE PANTS BROKE on the Red Carpet at the ‘Beowulf’ premiere in London. There are some photos showing Brad’s hand trying to cover the CRACK. http://www.7gfb.com/?p=436 Is funny, the same night, the same Red Carpet Angelina also picked up a chewing gum on her hight heels shoes. About Ryan, sexy sexy, triple sexy dad. How many of you would not want this guy? Reese did a mistake letting him go.

Poor Ava - looks exactly like her mom!!!

Must be hard for Ryan too, to look at his daughter and see his ex-wife…

# 6

when i saw ava covering her face like that i felt so sorry for her..it surely is not easy with so many paps sticking their cameras into your face…

… but hey, at least, she never has to do some stupid jobs just to earn some money…i guess you cant have everything

I feel so sorry for these two kids. They are obviously upset by the photogrphers taking their pictures. And I am sure the photographers weren’t just taking pictures, they were probably shouting and yelling nasty stuff, to get a reaction. Ryan was at the baggage claim, and the kids look exhausted and upset. It is a pitiful display. I hope people are satisfied. I hope you realize how much these pictures cost! The minor children of celebrities should NOT be photographed without the expressed permission of their parents. Ever.And I wish you wouldn’t post pictures of kids, jared. As for Ryan feeling suicidal and almost vomiting, this exact same story has been floating around for two months with these exact same quotes. All I can say is, people often feel like vomitting when they have had too much to drink. Ryan should stay away from the clubs and the young hootchie mams.He certainly has had all the female companionship he wanted. At least he didn’t say he was lonely.

@Eva
There is only one Brad Pitt and one Ryan Phillipe.

yeay Ryan still is the best butt in hollywood, but reese didn’t end so unlucky with sexy Jake.
And, sorry to be irrelevant but how come, there ’s no more posts about britney ***** (lol) ? would quite interesting instead of all the daily pics about horribly boring vanessa and zac?
bye

“would BE quite…”

he’s kinda skeezy but i’d still hit it

I wan Ryan and Reese to get back together!!! why did they split? C’mon guys, work it out! every relationship takes work but I can tell Reese is still in love with ryan and I hope he is with her too. Maybe he could have a few flings, get it out of his system, okay- they married young- but they have 2 cuteypie kids, work it out! You guys are such a good couple.

I feel bad for the kids they really don’t look very happy. I just love Ryan. I think he’s a great dad, great actor and hot as hell. He’ll land on his feet. Divorce sucks no matter what.

Just me... @ 11/13/2007 at 9:57 am

Waouh…he’s very sexy :D

His facial hair grows in funny… he should shave it.

i swear that lil boy is certified cuteness!

the lil girl is like reese jr.

love ryan!

IF YOU WOULD’NT HAVE BEEN A CHEATER…… REESE GAVE YOU SOOOO MANY CHANCES. YOU WOULD STILL HAVE YOUR FAMILY TOGETHER.

THAT WAS YOUR CALL HOW LIVE WITH IT,DUMB ASS……………

How the hell do you come off saying that she gave him chances? You have no idea what happened unless you live in their house you loser. At least you’ll never have to worry about that happening to you. Your anger and bitter rage at the world will keep all men far away.

yep, if a woman say the exactly the same thing like he said, she probably will be a poor woman, ohhh “kill this guy that left her to date a bitc***!!!”

I feel so sorry for him, and sincerely, I HATE YOU REESE!

If he didn’t cheat on his wife, they’d probably be together still.

the_boyfriend @ 11/13/2007 at 1:13 pm

so damn handsome.

no one forced him to cheat on his wife. What is the point of crying and vomiting about it now?

WEDDING PEACH @ 11/13/2007 at 3:54 pm

I wonder if was cried and vomited after he had his affair with Abbie Cornish.

the_original_nika @ 11/13/2007 at 4:16 pm

cmon people get real we don´t know for sure what happened, yeah theres rumours of him cheating but no garantees. maybe if that did happen, he feels guilty.
well reese didn´t take long to move on.

I wonder if he was crying and vomiting before or after he cheated on her with Abbie Cornish…..

AAHHH…HOPE SOMEHOW THE TWO CAN SORT OUT THEIR PROBLEMS SO THAT AT LEAST THEY CAN BE FRIENDS,FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR KIDS AS IT WILL EFFECT THE CHILDHOOD.

GOD BLESS..IT SUITS HIM BEING A DAD.

They are such beautiful children. I think that stinks that the paparazzi are clearly scaring them and they keeping on taking pics of them. I think Ryan is a fabulous father.

carrie nae @ 11/13/2007 at 5:49 pm

Looks like he really loves his children.

He and Reese have had lots of problems and had to go to counseling many times which made the relationship last as long as it did. I guess it was time to let go and find someone else.

ANGELINA IS A SLUT @ 11/13/2007 at 5:51 pm

I DOUGHT HE CHEATED DUMB A S S ES.

ANGELINA IS A SLUT @ 11/13/2007 at 5:52 pm

IF ANYTHING HIS MONKEY FACED EX DID.

The kids look happier when they are with their mother. Pretty soon, if not already, they will discover that mommy has the money and daddy got the little end of the stick. Then they may well decide to dump daddy for good and go live with mommy in the luxury to which they ought to hope to become accustomed.

ANGELINA IS A SLUT @ 11/13/2007 at 5:54 pm

IF ANYTHING HIS MONKEY FACED EX DID..

The kids look miserable when they are tired, coming off a long flight and being hounded by paparazzi. They look just as miserable when they are with their mother in similar circumstances. Reese and Ryan both seem to be good people who really are trying to raise their kids the best they can. Why are people so quick to hate on them. Go raise your own kids.

I never saw them looking miserable when they were with their mother. Please supply photos of that. Anyway they will soon discover which one has the dough and which one doesn’t. And please don’t tell me that kids don’t care about money. You aren’t that naive, are you?

I would bet that if they travel with La Witherspoon it is by private jet so they don’t have to go through a public airport. But he probably doesn’t have the money to pay for a private jet so the kids are exposed to the papas. It’s always a question of money, who’s got it and who hasn’t.

I so want them back togehter. But then I remember that he cheated and that they are done for good now, with the divorce official. They are so good looking and those children are adorable, and she’s so cute. I remember when she won the Oscar, he was there.. and it was so cute. Aw.

I’m not sorry for the man, he’s a cheater.

PurpleBelt @ 11/13/2007 at 7:28 pm

I’m so happy to see him spending time with his kids. So many kids of divorce don’t get to spend time with both parents, so this is really awesome. That little Ava is the spitting image of her mommy. So gorgeous! Beautiful children.

Ava is a mini-Reese-peanut-butter-cup

oh i love ryan. i am so willing to be the next mrs. philippe ^_^

kathastic @ 11/13/2007 at 9:30 pm

i love that he spends so much time with his kids

and there is no proof that ryan cheated! Abbie Cornish has denied it anyway

i luv angelina # 1 @ 11/13/2007 at 10:50 pm

He might not be a good husband but he sure was a good father.

Hello the guy must be pretty strong those kids are not babies damn he must have some guns. The paps are so nasty scaring little kids honestly. Also the MAT interview when he speaks about him wanting to kill himself it ticks me off these sites don’t finsh his statement he said it was about the pain his kids were in and the ugliness of situation. I don’t he think he misses Ms Witherspoon one bit I believe he wanted the divorce she just filed for ego reasons. Remember Aniston filed for divorce too.

SUCH NICE AND GOOD LOOKING GUY. I REALLY LIKE HIM.

laskjdflkj @ 11/14/2007 at 11:48 am

that’s dumb. it’s easy to diassociate catherine with the tmobile commercials…because she’s good.

He might not be a good husband but he sure was a good father.

What a stupid comment. You have no idea at all what kind of a father he is. You don’t know him. All you know is the publicity that might be true and might be false. How naive.

Ryan was entitled to 50% of her income while married I am sure he will be fine. With all the stories of Ryan for the past year let Reese have fun with her “friend”.

“Ryan was entitled to 50% of her income while married” Where did you get that silly idea? Husbands can’t go to court to demand half the wife’s income. When someone dies, the surviving spouse gets half the estate tax free. And when couples divorce often property is split 50/50 if there is no prenup to the contrary. But while married the husband gets what the wife gives him; he has no legal claim on her income.

“When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids…”
If he said this he is stupider even than he looks. In effect he is saying his kids make him so miserable he cries now when before he had them he didn’t. Good going, Ryanidiot. You sure know how to put you big foot in your mouth.

Judge judy @ 11/16/2007 at 11:24 pm

Jim you are the idiot. Have you ever heard of community property?

Judy: that refers to the property NOT the income. Couples can arrange the income as they wish. There is no obligation to share it 50/50, dimwit. Bank accounts can be joint or they can be separate.

If you live in a community property state, the rules are more complicated. Community property states are Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. (And in Alaska, spouses can sign an agreement making specific assets community property.)

Generally, in community property states, money earned by either spouse during marriage, and all property bought with those earnings, are considered community property that is owned equally by husband and wife. Likewise, debts incurred during marriage are generally debts of the couple. At the death of one spouse, his half of the community property goes to the surviving spouse unless he left a will that directs otherwise.

BUT

Married people can still own separate property. For example, property inherited by just one spouse belongs to that spouse alone. A spouse can leave separate property to anyone; it doesn’t have to go to the surviving spouse.

Married couples don’t have to accept the rules about what is community property and what isn’t. They can sign a written agreement that makes some or all community property the separate property of one spouse, or vice versa.

It depends upon the state law and can be arranged differently between the spouses, silly girl. You don’t have a clue.

In fact, my suspicion (I can’t say for sure) is that the REAL reason for the divorce was that she didn’t want to share her MUCH LARGER income with him and he may have been unwilling to agree. So the divorce. Given she was getting 20 million for a movie and he much less, things were getting very uneven financially. You know, parasite and host. LOL.

The whole matter is not simple. You should read this:

I feel sorry for him
i really dont get that reese she goes off with jake gyllenhaal or whatever hes name is i hate him he is so UGLY!!!
Ryan is so hot i really feel sorry for him
and did he really cheated?? :P

She has a bigger paycheck now doesn’t mean it will last. If her last movie is an indication her drawing power has gone down. Let’s see how the next movie with Vince does.

What time is it summer time anticipation high school musical rocks cant wait for 3

Southernyankee @ 11/25/2007 at 10:38 am

I have loved him since Cruel Intentions with Reese Witherspoon!! I saw the pics of his little girl covering her face…:(. But with the money he makes, and his popularity….he needs to hire some really big body guards to keep pics from these of his kids from happening. They can at least sheild the kids somehow instead of him trying to carry both of them and his daughter covering her face. Man…she looks exactly like her mom…too cute!! I like to look at celebrity photos..and their kids pics too, but only when the parents ok it. I don’t like photos like this one where I see that the parent has no option but to sit back and watch helplessly. I give him props…he looked really frustrated…but did not do anything in front of his kids. You can see that they come first. He should have put them first when he was cheating on his wife!!!!! Oh well, we’re all human and make mistakes…even the celebrities.

shark_bait @ 01/18/2008 at 12:37 am

It’a good to see Ryan has a relationship with his kids. Some celebrities have little to do with their children after divorce.

Hi Reese you are mi favorite star. I love your movies. The best is °Como si fuera cierto°.

They went through marriage counselling long before the divorce. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. They tried a lot harder than most hollywood couples. I’m sure they wil do whats best for their children

Sorry but your Ryan buddy is a cry baby b*tch! He needs to put that big a$$ boy down. He can walk now! Damn. Whatever his kids is his only ticket to a ‘free meal’. Unless he saves up the money hes got from Reeses alimony.
