Chad Michael Murray is opening up about battling anxiety amid his rapid rise to fame in the early 2000s.

Murray starred as Lucas Scott in the coming-of-age drama series from 2003 until 2012. He also starred opposite Lindsay Lohan in 2003’s “Freaky Friday” and alongside Hilary Duff in 2004’s “A Cinderella Story.”
