From Suicidal to Superhero: Actor Zachary Levi Shines a Light on the Importance of Mental Health

Actor Zachary Levi is known for his work in films like “Shazam!”, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and “American Underdog.” Now he’s using his own life story to shine a light on the importance of mental health. He shared his personal journey of how he went from suicidal to superhero with CBN News.

Zach Levi lands larger-than-life acting roles quite regularly. Less well-known is the private life and painful childhood of Zachary Levi Pugh. When he was a child, he thought his life was normal. He only realized much later that it wasn’t even close to normal.

“There wasn’t anything particularly traumatic that I could point to and say I am living a traumatized life,” he said. “You don’t realize that until far later in life, hopefully. A lot of people don’t realize that. Looking back on it, I can assure you it was an incredibly traumatizing childhood. There was just lots and lots of unhealthy, toxic behavior that was going on. Again, I could tell you that there were things that were making me cry on a regular basis. And things that I was afraid of on a regular basis. But I didn’t necessarily see those as being anything but normal. I guess this is probably what other kids deal with as well. So that would be a snapshot into my life, I suppose.”
