Ryan Phillippe: ‘I fear my daughter has inherited my depression issues’

Crash star Ryan Phillippe fears he has passed his depression issues onto his daughter Ava.

The actor reveals depression has been a “huge obstacle” for him since he was a child and he’s beginning to see signs that his 15-year-old daughter from his marriage to Reese Witherspoon is struggling. Phillippe tells Elle magazine, “As you get older I think it decreases some, but I’m just innately kind of a sad person. I’m empathetic, and I take on the feelings of others and transpose myself into the position of others.

“I see it in my daughter. She has it, and I wish to hell she didn’t. It’s just, some people do have this pervading sort of sadness, or they’re so analytical that they can kind of take the fun out of things because they think too much.”
