Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, panic attacks, suicidal...
Not a well individual.
- Now, he claimed that starring in the 2007 flick and being forced to dress a certain way for it 'almost killed' him, while chatting with Esquire recently.
- He admitted that he suffered from 'intense' depression and anxiety, and would 'struggle with food' - losing so much weight that he 'collapsed multiple times'.
- The star said he constantly wanted to 'flee' from his body and that he would have 'severe panic attacks' over wearing girly clothes during promo for the film.
- He recalled being told by production company Fox Searchlight that he had to wear a dress to the premiere, which he called 'extremely f**ked up' and 'gross'.
Recounting a run in with a 'transphobe'.
He said transphobia is 'so extreme,' as he remembered one time when a 'really big dude' started screaming at him and calling him a 'f****t' while he was trying to cross the street.
Out of fear that the man would retaliate, Elliot said he didn't respond and 'stood completely still, staring straight ahead' as the man yelled, 'You f****t! Don’t look at me! You f****t, f****t!'
The man told him, 'I’m gonna kill you, you f**king f****t! I’m gonna kill you, you f**king f****t! I’m gonna gay-bash you. This is why I need a gun.' He eventually ran into a convenience store for safety.
