The boss’s death hit the entertainment world hard , and Brian Austin Green said in Sharna Burgess’ post that it can be especially difficult for men to seek help because they’ve been conditioned not to talk about their feelings. He said:
I know now that it’s sometimes hard for us kids to ask for help. We believe we should be the provider/protector at all times. But we are human beings too, and I think the bravest thing we can do sometimes is to ask for help.
