Ryan Phillippe: "After the divorce I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself"



Ryan Phillippe, who was all kinds of kind of rough with Reese Witherspoon when she won the Golden Globe back in the day (Didn't she say something like 'that kind of hurt' when she got up on stage?).

Where's Ryan been? Aside from doing busywork at his little vanity studio (and throwing meat), he's been granting Bergmanesque interviews filled with melancholy. From Thisislondon:

''The couple met a decade ago and were thought to have one of the most rock solid marriages in showbusiness - but shocked Hollywood with their split last year.

''Now Philippe, 33, has said the breakdown of his relationship with the Legally Blonde actress left him 'a physical wreck.'

''Now Philippe, 33, has said the breakdown of his relationship with the Legally Blonde actress left him 'a physical wreck.'

''In a surprisingly candid confession he told UK magazine Man About Town: 'After the divorce I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit.'

''The pair met at Miss Witherspoon's 21st birthday bash and went on to work together on the 1999 film Cruel Intentions. They married in June that year.

''Although neither has spoken openly about the reason for the split, there was speculation at the time that Philippe was unable to cope with his wife's success."
