Movie actor Ralph Fiennes suffers from panic attacks.

‘Maid in Manhattan ‘ star often wakes up in a sweat in the middle of the night with a feeling of impending doom hanging over him and lies awake worrying about his life.

He said: ”I have huge anxiety attacks. I’ll wake up early in the morning with my brain anxious about something and I don’t even know what it is, just a general sense of profound uncertainty. It’s from the unconscious, I suppose, fears about existence. A weird twilight zone.

Many celebrities are in the same boat as the high-flying lifestyle can generate a lot of stress and anxiety. Some are managing this by diluting terpenes or by trying CBD as these have been known to alleviate stress.

For Ralph, solutions are harder to come by than problems. ”We feel we can organise our lives and have an order that we can control but really we can’t, it’s always paper-thin and underneath there’s this lurking chaos. You think, ‘F**k! This could come at me at any moment!’ ”’

The 50-year-old star admits his anxiety also translates into being socially awkward when he meets new people and not being able to concentrate on what they’re saying.

MarkMeets can reveal that Ralph is currently filming ‘Two Women’ alongside Sylvie Testud and Larisa Malevannaya

Ralph told Esquire mag ”I get accused of zoning out of conversations and gazing into the middle distance, which I do when I’m somehow not at ease. I often feel a bit lost in social situations and that’s when I can button up.

”I have moments – not every day – when I feel myself retreating. Later on I’ll think, ‘That person meant well. I didn’t need to be like that’.”

The British star’s biggest regret is his mother passing away before he became a household name thanks to the success of ‘Schindler’s List’.

He recalled: ”Just as ‘Schindler’s List’ was coming out and I was on the receiving end of a whole lot of attention, my mother died of cancer. I would have loved her to have seen some of the stuff I’ve been part of. I know all my brothers and sisters feel the same. We often talk about it.

MarkMeets.com editor said “Ralph Fiennes in talks to join Bond, Sam Mendes wants Fiennes for role of ‘extreme complexity’ in next James Bond film, while Javier Bardem may play the villain”.

”My father was around for a bit but it will always be, for all of us as a family, a huge sadness that both our parents died when they did. There are moments when it surprises you; you think you’re on top of it and the grief will suddenly come back.”
