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.”

hey we all have opinions as to whether he cheated or not
let me give some advice:
if your relationship is on the rocks
FILE FOR DIVORCE FIRST
then once its final
you can pull “it” out and start slamming other women/men
and if you dont wanna live your life in the public eye
do what you say and move away
and stop giving these interviews with your man boobs hanging out
give them less fodder and they will take a hike
most of you broads in here are pretty ignorant
if reese was a regular joe and your friend you would have her back w/o a doubt but all u hoes are up in here, talking bout how hot this motherf-cker is and all that what a bunch of hoes didnt your mama teach you right & learn it isnt cool 2 f-ck a married person
most of you chickz on here were probably cheated on anyway
so now you think its aight
HOES HOES HOES
Wow the Reesers are on the warpath.
Ryan has every right to talk about his life. He did not say one negative thing about his marriage or Reese. I hate when actors won’t answer questions and hide behind their publicists.
And as for the OMG HEZ A CHEETA losers…get over it. I think all of you ******* are fatties whohad a relationship twenty years ago that you let deteriorate to the point that the only man you ever had left you.
Now you’re sitting alone with your cat pissed off at some actor.
What’s the difference between this case and the whole Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie debacle? It’s essentially the same case except the media almost seemed to have been rooting on their precious Angie for being the ‘other woman,’ while Abbie because she is an Australian actress who isn’t very well known to American audiences is being treated so incredibly harshly for her alleged affair.
I think Ryan did the right thing in addressing the third party rumors because it was time someone stood up and defended Abbie and all the horrible things that have been said about her since Reese filed for divorce.
Best of luck to Ryan and Abbie!
Yum. Love him! :D
He is a working actor who happens to be good-looking, so he ain’t outta work! Gotta check out ‘Stop-Loss’… He went through all the normal feelings and eventual consequences of a tried but failed marriage. He enjoyed success and fame before Reese did, however she became the power-player in Hollywood after he had his first couple of movies. Anyone remember him play a gay teenager on ‘One Life To Live’, shot here in NYC?
Obviously he loved Reese from what he said, but like all of us who live and go through situations like that, we move on, famous or not. Dude looks good though, especially for 33!
SO HOT
i’d **** him all night and all day long!
i’d **** him all night and all day long!
I agree on his saying” I don’t think no out side person ever cause a marriage to break up” I thought him as not to smart but I can see he has some brains and guts to say this. Since as we all know , people this days like the blaming game.
I don’t blame him ” I am sad ” sells . Look what pity did to jennifer aniston. It made her life. But Reece has children for him. Things should be better. At least he was not living with self centerd woman like Brad pitt was.
Jada pinket smith said ” I will throw my carrier before I let it break my marriage. Real wifes are like that. Do you agree this world on jennifer aniston???? no thousand time no.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh. he’s gorgeous !
I agreed with #17. Reese deserve it happy and high actress. Ryan lose her and he is tried make a deal with her price. GO Ryan hell.
I know Ryan very well I know him since we were little childhood and schools. He love Reese but now he got bored with his wife. He made Reese work and care of her own kids. Ryan always out with his friends and flirt girls. Ryan like girls to flirt him. Ryan been hide from his wife. Now Ryan is lose and he need grow up. Reese is getting tired of him for 8 years been same thing. NEVER change. NOW Reese is not stupid becaue she catched on Ryan being cheatin on Reese bec of Abbie. Abbie not high actress. She is stealing Ryan. Ryan is no brain. But Ryan will lose Reese forever. Reese informed me she will never go back ever again but for sake kids. She allowed Ryan to spend time with kids. Reese is good person and very warm heart. So “RYAN is STUPID and CHEAT too much. I cant tell you who I am. Cuz I must keep my hand off.
God love you “REESE”… YOu go for it.
Reese is sweet and beautiful heart. Believe me that.
hey lori,
you must be a fat depressed slob, how dare you talk to someone
children (ava).did you even ask reese if it’s a good idea to put her
father down.your not her mother so don’t talk to her.you only make thingsworst, do you know how much she loves her dad and mom,she mightnot want you talking about either of them.have some considerationfor those confused but loved children.
