OlderRyan Phillippe is Shirtless
Ryan Phillippe goes shirtless as he soldiers on after a high-profile divorce made last year the worst of his life. Here’s a snapshot of the 33-year-old actor’s candid interview:
On if he’s slowing down his acting career: “I’ve had a lot of upheaval in my personal life. I wanted to take time to make sure that my kids were okay and to build a new life that was going to be suitable to being a single parent. Every once in a while you kind of want to take a step back and refocus to make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons.”
On his divorce from Reese Witherspoon: “[It was] the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. It was a struggle—there were a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life. [But] you get through it. It’s a process that’s not easy, but I get less and less sad about it every day.”
On his costar Abbie Cornish causing his divorce: “First of all, I wouldn’t answer that, but I would say that things are never as simple as it’s made out to be in the tabloid press. It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn’t about that. I don’t think an outside person can ever cause a divorce. I had difficulties in my relationship, and in my marriage, long before I ever met her.”
On his current relationship with Abbie: “She and I are close friends, and as far as if there is any future, that is not where we are at now. That is what other people like to say or like to assume. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a friendship, and we are getting to know each other in a really difficult situation.”
On the paparazzi affecting his daughter Ava: “It’s really scarring. It definitely does a number on my eight-year-old daughter. To hear her say that she worries about what she’s wearing when she leaves the house because she knows her picture will be taken…. She’s worried about friends at school who come up to her and say they see her in magazines. It’s a really disturbing environment to bring up a child in. You don’t know that when you are in your early 20s and you have your first kid. You don’t know how ugly it can get.”
On why he thinks the paparazzi still chase him: “[It's] because I was married to the highest-paid actress in the world. Even though I’m not with her any longer, there is a certain amount of notoriety that I guess sticks beyond.”

HOT RYAN NEVER EVER DISAPPOINTS HEY!!!!
HE IS PURE INDULGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
NEVER FEEL LONELY RYAN !!!!!!!!!!!!
Please Reese was probably sleeping around but kept it quiet. I’m sure she’s not the angel she appears to be.
HE IS A CHEATER AND NO WIFE OR HUSBAND, FOR THAT MATTER, COULD CONTINUE TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH A CHEAT. NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS, MARRIAGE PROBLEMS EXIST BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE HIM REASON TO CHEAT. A CHEAT IS A CHEAT AND THAT GUY IS A SCUMBAG!
Oh how i wish he still couldn’t sleep to this day. He has lackluster talent and I wish that the girl he bags (even if it’s that cornish beyotch) would cheat on him, too, so that he becomes a miserable man for the rest of his life!
Why is anyone claiming to know what happened? No matter what happened, he was obviously torn apart by the divorce and its good to see how much he loves his daughter.
He is a very good looking man XD
Troll much with the exact same posts about Ryan here and everywhere else.
There is a bug up someones butt today about Ryan Phillippe. WTF did he cheat on You Personally?
Every site where you have to sign on to post people are in the vast majority saying positive things about Ryan. But anywhere where you can post multiple times anon or under different fake names there are tons of repetitive negative posts.
Same troll Ovah I totally agree!!
What is your issue troll??
I have always liked Ryan and as he said there were problems in his marriage to reese for quite awhile and there was no proof he cheated on her with Abbie. Even if he was with Abbie the marriage could have already been dead.
This is a guy who clearly puts his kids before anything else in the world. I am looking forward to seeing his new movie.
For starters, if a man is really yours, no woman can take him away from you. Period. That goes for all the Reeses and Jeniffers of the world. Second, It is far easier to blame a third person, instead of trying to understand what is your part in it.
I have no idea what hapenned between Reese and Ryan, but I am not sympathetic to her. There is something ruthless about her and she seems to castrate her men (Jake Gyllenhaal is changing and not in a good way, and for a man who he is supposed to be in love he doesn’t look very happy since he is with her). She certainly doesn’t strike me as a victim. It might be more the other way round.
Ovah - LOL, so true. Some people take this stuff too serious. They don’t know Reese or Ryan and don’t know the half of went down in their marriage. So until I hear it out of Reese’s mouth that he cheated, then I don’t want to hear it. And she may not be the angel she appears to be either for all we know….people need to quit. They are moving on with their lives, remaining cordial for the kids’ sake and, hopefully, they’ll be able to have a Bruce and Demi like relationship in the future. They both clearly care about their kids and that’s all that should matter.
OH I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS GUY DEFENDS HIS PARAMOUR, ABBY. WHATEVER HE SAYS, THAT GIRL IS A HUSBAND-GRABBER. EVEN IF THE MARRIAGE IS ROCKY, IT DOESN’T GIVE HER THE RIGHT TO OFFER HER TWAT TO HIM! BY SAYING THAT, HE IS NOT OWNING TO WHAT HE IS DONE THAT CAUSE HIS FAMILY ESPECIALLY HIS CHILDREN DEEP PAIN. OH THAT GUY IS A SUCKIE! WHATEVER DUDE!
Typical Reese fan ^^^ ROFLMAO
i cant believe you lot are discussing something thats none of your business. the goings-on in their marital relationship is none of anybody’s concern. the only people who know what really went on are the parties involved so you guys speculating whether she was a ruthless b*tch or he was a cheating b*stard are just wasting your f*cking time. marriages seldom work in real life for real people like us, so hollywood actors haven’t a chance in hell of making it work in the real sense. the couples that are still together are that way because their marriage is a business arrangement. love and commitment has little to do with it.
didi
Wow, I’m impressed. an intelligent comment (or most of it). You usually come across sooo……judgemental. What’s up with you today? Did they get your meds straightened out or something?
test
I think he is a great guy and their marriage just didn’t work out I really like how he speaks kindly about her not in detail just nice and respectful. I think Reese has issues about him leaving her and I think it is to his credit he took it hard even though it was for the best.
he is so gorgeous, what a hunk.
I CANT BELIEVE JENNIFER ANISTON OLD TIRED FANS ARE TRYING TO GIVE RYAN PHILLIPS A HARD TIME ABOUT HIS MARRIAGE TO REESE. THE GIRL SEEMS A BIT BOSSY TO ME. I BET SHE MADE HIM FEEL BAD EVERYDAY BECAUSE SHE WAS THE BIGGER STAR. THEY HAVE PARTED WAYS AND THEY BOTH ARE GOING ON WITH THEIR LIVES. RYAN, GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND BE HAPPY. I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL CAREER, YOU STILL LOOK GOOD AND YOU ARE STILL YOUNG. I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR GETTING MARRIED SO YOUNG AND THE TWO OF YOU STAYED TOGETHER AS LONG AS YOU DID.
I wonder what he’ll look like when he is 60. He’d better find another rich wife to take care of him in his old age when his looks are gone. Maybe he could get Reese to take him back. Worth a try.
Jim, you’re not very informed on this topic so don’t talk about what you don’t know. When they got married, Ryan made more money than her. It wasn’t until Legally Blonde almost 5 years into their marriage that her pay check got bigger than his. He did not marry her for money so get a clue. He married her because he knocked her up - he said so in an interview a couple of years ago.
Silly Amber. Did I say he married her for money? NO, I just pointed out that when she divorced him she was richer than he was. And she is richer now. Don’t distort what I say. So he “knocked” her up. So what.
What you said implied that he did, retarded Jim. Don’t take your frustrations out on Ryan because he’s an attractive man and, well, you most likely have a face made for posting on things like these. Otherwise you wouldn’t be posting sarcastic vitrol about him - jealousy’s an ugly emotion, sweetie.
now this is someone that is puttin out their laundry, one might say he is pulling a Jennifer Aniston … well if you are a JP freak fan you would say that.
Ryan shut up!
I saw pictures of you and Abbe Cornish together, and you both looked really cozy. Maybe that’s why the rumors. I saw pictures of Brad and Angeline and wasn’t surprised when they got together.
It’s not good to harp on your personal life on a promo junket. It looks sad and weak and silly and disrespectful to you ex. “We had problems long before, yada yada yada…yeah we know that.
You both were quite candid about going to counseling, so why all this talk about your pre-Abbie marital problems.
Or do you want a printed record of your feelings to reach your kids ears in pre-school, via their friends, via their parents chatting about your post divorce sad feelings depression at the breakfast table.
It’s amazing how much kids pick up.
“Hey Ava, is you dad still depressed and sad about divorcing your mom?”
Jennifer Aniston could whine and wail about her fate and Brad’s lack of a sensitivity chip…see I remember…everyone remembers, and now most resent her for all that whining; but she didn’t have kids. So far, Reese has never talked about your situation except as it relates to her getting out of a car in a mall…nothing deep and nothing about who she is dating… and neither should you.
You will find eventually and even now that people who seem empathetic towards you ,secretly pity you or are laughing at you, so keep your sadness and remorse out of the press, and talk about your movie. I just might go see it.
Ryan, HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE DEFINED? As a good looking, average actor that will take his shirt off and keep on talking about his ex-wife to get publicity?
Also, I don’t know if he cheated, but MY OPINION is that he did and pretty much eludes to that in the interview…hell, that’s the way I woulda said it. But yeah, no one knows for sure.
Anyhoo, IF he cheated, he’s a jerk just like the rest of the cheaters out there. A relationship can always be saved, until one of the parties cheats.
