Luke Evans Admits to Body Anxiety Issues in Candid Interview

Evans stressed that although people see him "outwardly presenting this strong character," he also "suffers with insecurities and lack of confidence and self-worth and all those things," calling it a "common" experience.

"There's a little boy inside of me – we all carry our little kids, our little people, [and] they're with us all of our lives," Evans said. "The one I carry was bullied and I didn't like who he was and I have that with me now, but as an adult I understand it more and so it doesn't consume me. It doesn't stop me from doing stuff."

And added that if wasn't for his career, he would likely cancel his gym membership.

"Staying fit and in a certain physical fitness level now is definitely doing my job," he explained. "I'm sure if I didn't have to go and take my top off on a movie set every now and again, I'd probably let it all go. I wouldn't care so much, but it is part of my job. I get cast in certain roles that require a certain amount of physical strength and aesthetic. It's been good because it's probably kept me on the straight and narrow."

He also discussed his self-confidence (or lack of). "I walk down the street or in a bar or in the gym and look at some guy, and he's like super confident, and I'm just like wow, and it just seems effortless. When I do, it's a whole lot of work when I have to present that. I'm not massively confident about lots of things about me, but I've learned to deal with it, not ignore it and understand why and process it, but it doesn't go away."
