Behind all the laughs, the 42-year-old Brady revealed that he’s secretly battled depression for years.

“Having a bad day is one thing, having a bad week is another, having a bad life … You don’t want to move, you can’t move in the darkness,” he told ET’s Nischelle Turner. “You’re like, ‘I am just going to sit right here and I want to wallow in this. As much as it hurts, I am going to sit right here because this is what I deserve. This is what I deserve, so I am going to sit here because I am that horrible of a person.’”

Brady said he had “a complete breakdown” last June on his 42nd birthday and realized that he had to make a change.

He is now on the road to recovery.  Wayne Tweets below:
