Chad Michael Murray struggled with his mental health amid his One Tree Hill success.

The 42-year-old actor has revealed that he was battling agoraphobia - which is a type of anxiety that causes a person to fear certain places or situations - during his time on the teen drama series.

Chad - who played Lucas Scott in One Tree Hill - told The Cut: 'I was around 23 and I had an event in Miami, but I couldn't leave my hotel room.

'The world felt like it was closing in. I was having anxiety attacks.'

Chad ultimately recognized that he needed to make some lifestyle changes in order to deal with the issue.

One Tree Hill aired from 2003 until 2012.

The actor shared: 'I woke up and felt unsettled. I didn't like the direction that I was going in my life.

'I went to church, and I got a tattoo of a cross on my left wrist, and I was like, I'm going to move myself in faith.'

Chad was 'walking around with a really pained heart' earlier in his career.

But now, he's rediscovered his love of acting and he's determined to 'respect the craft'.

The actor - who has starred in a number of well-known TV shows, such as Gilmore Girls, Riverdale and Dawson's Creek - said: 'I remember in my younger 20s, I'd wake up and say, "Oh, I've got to go to work."

'And that's a very different place to even start your day. It's just a very different mindset where I have gratitude.

'I get to go to work and I love that opportunity to just spread love, try to elevate energy, and respect the craft. Instead of coming at it as a disgruntled, tired 21-year-old.'

He has a comeback with Mother Of The Bride.

Brooke stars as Lana, a woman who travels to the Southeast Asian kingdom when her daughter announces she is getting married there in a month's time to her boyfriend, played by Sean Teale.

The drama around the hasty nuptials is further complicated when Lana discovers her future son-in-law is the offspring of the man who broke her heart decades ago (Bratt).

Shields, who also serves as an executive producer and opened up about the project in People.

Bratt, 60, stars as her former love, and the actress said her co-star is 'pretty easy to be a love interest.'

Murray, 42, appears to a romantic rival for Lana's affection.

Also starring in the film are Rachael Harris (Suits), Michael McDonald (MADtv), Wilson Cruz (My So-Called Life), Tasneem Roc (The Bureau of Magical Things), and Dalip Sondhi (Frayed).

Shields said she was happy to take on the project, and gave praise to director Mark Waters and Netflix's Director of Original Film, Christina Rogers.

'[Christina has] been the champion of really pushing and standing behind these stories for women over 40 to be in a romcom, that's not just all' she stated.

'Yes, we've got the focus on the young, beautiful, fresh love, and we want that, but she's not overlooking my demographic.

'And to have that wish fulfillment of another chance at love and all that.'

Cosgrove, who said she has a good relationship with her own mother, enjoyed working with the mom of two who shares daughters Rowan, 20, and Grier, 17, with Henchy.
