Dan Levy hasn't "been outside that much" in the past six years due to his crippling anxiety.
The Schitt's Creek star has opened up about his debilitating battle with severe anxiety and how he believes it started because of a "deep-rooted fear" of knowing he "was gay".
In an interview with Bustle, he said: "Over the past six years … I really haven't been outside that much."
On how his anxiety inhibited him from coming out, Levy said: "I think that came from a deep-rooted fear of knowing that I was gay and not being able to be free.
"By the time I got to high school, when your brain is starting to catch up to your physical impulses, it led to a very confusing time. Because on the one hand, you are now being introduced to things like self-awareness and anxiety. At the same time, you're becoming more and more savvy when it comes to hiding it."
