The Project Runway star makes the shocking revelation in his new book, Gunn’s Golden Rules, admitting he was plagued with depression as a teen and tried to swallow pills to end his life.
Appearing on America’s Access Live news programme, he explains, “I was a very, very unhappy kid and I thought, what does the world have to offer me? And more importantly, what do I have to offer the world? And I had incredibly low self-esteem and made a decision. Fortunately I wasn’t successful.”
The 57 year old credits his friends and family with helping him to get through the struggle, adding, “It’s only because of a lot of wonderful people who nurtured me and cared about me that I’m still here.”
