The Thor star made the confronting admission in an episode of the Disney+ reality series Limitless, admitting his career choice stems from a difficult childhood.

‘If I’m totally honest, I did acting to get my parents out of debt. It could be killing me. When I first started acting, my parents had very little money,’ he began. 

‘Talking to my dad about when he’s going to be able to pay the bank off and him saying, “Never, we’ll die having to pay it off”, that really bothered me from a young age.’

‘What gives me huge anxiety and evokes stress is when I’m trying to take care of too many things, too many projects.

‘I still have these thoughts of like, it’s all going to go away if I don’t say yes to these things. I can still feel stress eating away at me, and I don’t want it to rule my life.’

The National Geographic docuseries Limitless charts Chris’ commitment to healthy living as he goes on an epic mission to ensure he lives a long and productive life.
