Rebecca Romjin: I Was Clinically Depressed
Ugly Betty’s Rebecca Romjin has recently admitted that she suffered from clinical depression following her breakup with ex-husband John Stamos. They split in 2004 after ten years together. She told Grazia magazine:
“I went through a lot of red wine. And a lot of therapy,” she’s quoted as saying.
“I had six or eight months where I was clinically depressed.”
I find it quite interesting that Romjin chose and unconventional treatment (she did not take antidepressants). But Romjin, who plays gender-reassigned Alexis on Ugly Betty, is an uncommon person.
I’d rather self-medicate and stick with red wine,” she laughed.
“It might not make me feel good the next day, but I know it’s gonna be out of my system.”
Her life seems to have definitely taken a turn for the better. She not only landed the role of Alexis Meade, she is married again, to all-American boy Jerry O’Connell. Romjin has shown far more depth as an actress and as a comedian than I expected, and it could be because she’s getting help from her Carpoolers star hubby:
She says she’s loving playing the part - and even roped in her new hubby to help her get into character before she had to shoot scenes showing Alexis learning how to be a woman.
“I made Jerry walk around in heels the night before that scene,” she admitted.
“He put them on for 10 seconds and he was like, ‘This is awful, I hate it’ but I was like, ‘It’s research! I need to know what a man looks like walking in heels!’”
