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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ^_^

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.

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.
