A dark past

In his popular book Greenlights, he recounted one of the most difficult moments of his life.
At just 15 years old, he reveals that he was blackmailed into losing his virginity, an experience that he did not want at all and that left its mark on him.
Not long after, he experienced another difficult situation during his adolescence, where he faced a negative experience from an older person.
Choosing to speak

His role in Dallas Buyers Club brought him an Academy Award and placed him among the most highly regarded actors in the world.

The past does not determine the future.
