Ive watched tragedy after tragedy in this business and its just heartbreaking.

I went many years not wanting to even talk about it at all.

Not in therapy, not with my friends, not with my family.

Bell elaborated on his relationship with music in his conversation with OBrien.

Musics like my diary or my journal, he said.

Its kind of the most vulnerable, honest, self-reflective stuff that Ive written ever.

Bell also said that he maintains positive relationships with both of his parents today.

And right now, we have an amazing relationship, and my mom and I have an incredible relationship.

The actor also implored viewers to be less harsh on his mother.

I completely understand how he just pulled the wool over everyones eyes.
