The La La Land star has compassion for his wife’s battle, especially knowing that as a man he doesn’t fully understand what she’s going through.
“You don’t know internally what it feels like. You should read about it and understand what it is and really just be there to help” he explained. “You need to be present and you need to be compassionate. And we’re all learning and trying to figure it out as we go. At least do that and try to figure it out together.”
Legend said he was “glad” his wife spoke out about her experience, adding, “I think it was powerful for her to let a lot of women know they’re not alone, and no matter how much money you have or fame, anybody can feel that. And it’s hard for anybody no matter how successful you are and how many resources you have.”
