Michael Rosenbaum has commented on the panic attack that Arrow star Stephen Amell had on his show.

Recently, Arrow star Stephen Amell suffered a panic attack on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast Inside of You. Stephen Amell left during the recording of the Michael Rosenbaum podcast but later returned to complete it. Stephen Amell described the panic attack as being a product of Arrow coming to an end and some personal issues. Since then, the Arrow star has maintained that he’s in a much better position and is looking forward to a much-needed break.

Michael Rosenbaum, who recently interviewed the Arrow star, commented on Stephen Amell’s panic attack for KTLA 5.

“I could see that he was sweating a little bit and he was just really exhausted, he was very vulnerable…I’ve had panic attacks. What’s great about this is, it’s not great that he had a panic attack but he said, ‘can I listen to the raw footage’ and I said sure and then he said, ‘I want to come back and finish it because I think it’s important.’ Which is exactly what my show is about, just like showing the world that even like these big celebrities, he’s a superhero, he gets overwhelmed, you know, he’s exhausted, you don’t get the sleep, you don’t take care of yourself and you put everything else in front of you, things happen and so he came back and he’s doing great now, but I love that he was tweeting it…and I just said ‘thank you, man’ that’s what the show’s about, it’s what people want to hear, so it was really cool.”

Arrow star Stephen Amell has been exceptionally vocal about his mental health in the past and has urged others to do so as well. As for Michael Rosenbaum, his podcast Inside of You prides itself on digesting the daily minutiae and personal lives of those who are famous. Michael Rosenbaum hopes that with candid, honest conversations (like the one Stephen Amell had), fans will come to understand that their favorite stars are just as human and vulnerable as them.

In the podcast episode with Michael Rosenbaum, Stephen Amell expressed how important it is to take breaks. Stephen Amell has officially retired from Arrow, as his character passed away during the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover. No plans have been announced as to what’s next for Stephen Amell, but he certainly deserves a long, wholesome break after playing the Green Arrow for eight years. However, fans can expect just a bit more from Stephen Amell as Arrow comes to its official end next week with the much anticipated finale.
