The next day, he checked into Arizona&#8217;s Sierra Tucson Treatment Center, where he spent a month in intensive therapy and learned how childhood sexual abuse and bodyshaming over his weight by his 4th grade teacher led him to create and hide behind a larger-than-life public persona he calls &#8220;the other guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now Kevin has stopped smoking weed, cut back on social media, is slowing down his work schedule after churning out movies, comic books, TV shows and podcasts, and learning about the healing power of self-acceptance. Most importantly, he is determined to get the word out to others who could benefit from hearing his story and the tools he&#8217;s acquired to help find peace.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to People \u25ba\u25ba http:\/\/bit.ly\/SubscribetoPeople<\/p>\n<p>#KevinSmith #MentalHealth #TraumaIsTrauma #PEOPLE<\/p>\n<p>Catch up on the latest celebrity news, top stories and more:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pippa Middleton Welcomes Baby Girl \u2014 and Her Name Has a Special Connection to Aunt Kate! | PEOPLE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6wQfUfqL8Ms?list=PLzS8B57pacxwyLPuFYvWxzqvoRrBc4GqA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>PEOPLE goes behind-the-scenes with our cover stars for exclusive stories and in-depth interviews:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michelle Obama on Love, Family and New Netflix Show &#039;Waffles + Mochi&#039; | PEOPLE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OQKl_X701vU?list=PLzS8B57pacxyRV5X1C-ourUW676yKNYsU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>PEOPLE goes in-depth with your favorite stars and celebrities to bring you exclusive stories and features:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet 3 Doctors Who Are Key Developers of the COVID-19 Vaccine | Women Changing the World | PEOPLE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_9H8u-Cso1s?list=PLzS8B57pacxxEqaaiRWm83-sdyKw5tXUS\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Go inside the homes of your favorite celebrities with exclusive house tours:  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i7e1ouxAzTA&amp;list=PLzS8B57pacxz6HLw3s77n_WbZt6iOPgz8<\/p>\n<p>Get exclusive access into the biggest celebrity weddings.
