Bell also shares his deep personal struggle following Jake’s death. He recounts how he found himself in a very dark place, even contemplating suicide. “I was planning my own death and talking myself into staying because my family needs me, my kids need me,” Bell reveals. He explains that his current efforts to support mental health are what keep him going. “What I do now keeps me alive daily because I've made my peace with death. I'm gonna be reunited with him at some point, but it damn right ain’t now.”
In the video, Reynolds praises Bell’s resilience and dedication. “The resilience it takes to, you know, put one foot in front of the other as many times as you've done it, and transmute that much grief into something powerfully useful,” Reynolds says. He expresses his gratitude for Bell sharing his story and acknowledges the impact of Bell’s work.
During this heartwarming moment, Reynolds also reveals some personal news. He says that he and Blake Lively have a kid and discusses his affection for his children.
