What was said
"I was crying on set and they called my reps and they were like this kid keeps crying on set. Like is he okay. I was like in a cat prosthetic crying. The cat king. So I'm crying. Someone had called my people. My people were like What is wrong with you? And then I started crying with them and I was like No one loves me. I'm going to die alone. This this career doesn't matter. Nothing."
Gage reveals he suffered a severe mental health crisis while filming Dead Boy Detectives, crying repeatedly on set in costume until producers contacted his representatives. His agents then required he check into a mental health facility before they would allow him to audition again, where he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
