Saw him on Charlie Rose. He looks stressed out.

He kept stammering, and his physical behavior was quite jittery. He seems as though he's trying hard to keep it together, as if he's on powerful medication and this is the side-effects. What's wrong with him? I suspect he has too many hands in the cookie jar. It's no easy task balancing a marriage, family, A-list actor status and trying to direct film(along with being a producer). He needs to recharge BADLY for the holidays.

It's heavily rumored that he abuses drugs and alcohol so, that would account for the symptoms you're seeing.

If he really resents JG, then, go ahead and file for the divorce, live his life the way he wants to live it. But no, he is sticking around and hanging out with them. He is powerful enough to hire a battalion of lawyers to get a divorce. Yes, it is his fault for being miserable. He needs to take a break and re-group.

Didn't watch that one but I can safely guess how he came across.

It's the way he has been for a while now. Jittery, slurring his words, glassy eyed, about to cry, weirdly distant, very red and bloated in the face, and trying so hard to pull it together...

I think the only reason why he hasn't killed himself as of yet is his children. He seems really a sad suicide waiting to happen with no light visible at the end of the tunnel now.

I thought he would straighten himself out with the divorce and regain his life, but nothing of the sort happened. He resorted to living a miserable life with a woman he feels guilty to resent, but he evidently did.

This is incredibly accurate. Wow.

He's had all kinds of time to rest since filming Justice League ended. This is how he is now, strung out on some kind of substance. He needs rehab.
