Josh Hartnett is recalling a harrowing point in his career.
Although he surged to fame with films The Virgin Suicides and Pearl Harbor in the late ‘90s and early aughts, Josh took a step back from the spotlight at the height of his career.
And though he’s previously shared that the focus on his personal life was one of the reasons behind him scaling back, the Trap star now admitted there was another component that had an effect on him.
“People’s attention to me at the time,” Josh told The Guardian in an interview published July 28, “was borderline unhealthy.”
In fact, though he doesn’t want to give this point in his life “a lot of weight,” Josh does note that his experiences with stalkers had reached a threshold.
“There were incidents,” he explained. “People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me. A guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in prison.”
