*Method Man gets candid about his mental health journey in a new discussion with Kevin Hart on the “Gold Minds” podcast.
“I was my own shadow, meaning I was in my own way,” the 52-year-old actor and Wu-Tang Clan member said, according to AllHipHop.
“I had to get out of my own way. I saw that I could not control the people around me, but I could control myself,” Method Man continued.
“One thing that stood out for me, when I was younger – basically being a little dirty kid with nothing, no control over where I lived, what I ate, where I slept. But I had these sports – football and lacrosse – there I had control and I was good at it,” he added.
“So I needed those little moments where I need to be in control of what goes on in my life. I had to look myself in the mirror and say, ‘I’m tired of myself. I want better for me, I have more to contribute, and start there.’ Self-check, absolutely,” Method Man continued. “If you don’t, sooner or later, somebody else is gonna check you.”
He previously spoke about how he stays healthy and happy during an appearance on the “Sherri” show — watch the YouTube clip above.
Meanwhile, Method Man’s character Davis Maclean suffered a major loss on the latest episode of “Power Book II: Ghost.” He previously explained exclusively to VIBE that he would like to see Davis’ “personal life come to the forefront, see what kind of man he actually is because I think a lot of times people get his motivation wrong.”
He added, “They think that he’s motivated by money, but anybody can make money in this world. I think Davis is more motivated by power, no pun intended, and he will get it at any cost, whatsoever. And I’m a firm believer in people spend money to stay in power, so he’s willing to do that as well.”
New episodes of “Power Book II: Ghost” premiere Fridays at midnight ET on the STARZ app. On linear, it debuts on STARZ at 8PM ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
