Addressing the audience at the premiere, the Angels singer explained that the comprehensive documentary was unlike anything audiences had seen before.
He said: “For someone struggling with their mental health; Depressed, agoraphobic, body dysmorphic, dyscalculia, dyslexia – I collect all the Boy Scout badges.
“The effect this all had on me was incredibly damaging, and you’ll see that in the documentary.”

In keeping with the 25th anniversary of his solo career, the series offers an intimate look into his never-before-seen personal archive spanning 30 years.
It comes after Robbie revealed he once “slit his wrists” to end his life in a candid discussion about the pressures of fame and his battle with drink and drugs.
The star responded to celebrities being ridiculed for speaking openly about their mental health struggles and saying they only did so to make the subject “sexy”.
He told The Mirror: “There’s nothing sexy about taking a knife and slitting your wrists, which is what I did. “We have to be careful what we say and how we say it.”
To clarify this point, he said, “I’m talking about slitting my own wrists.” The reason I say that is to qualify people regardless of whether they’re on MAFS [Married At First Sight] or Martin Scorsese’s new film.
“We have to be careful what we accuse people of.” You think this and that is exaggerated to get attention and say they have autism. It is not okay.’
He later told The Sun about his highly publicized battle with addiction, recalling a six-day binge.
Shock: Robbie famously fell out with 52-year-old Gary during the filming of Take That, after which Robbie broke up in July 1995 in the middle of her Nobody Else world tour (seen in 2010).

He told the publication that despite vomiting “black bile,” he continued his cocaine and vodka binge, only to later realize how close he was to death.
Robbie believed he was “indestructible” but was actually “on the fast track to death” and admitted: “I thought I could snort the most, take the most pills, drink the most, and I thought that was it a superpower back then.” .
“I didn’t know that was my quick way to death.” You feel like you’re indestructible, I didn’t feel like I was going to die. Only in retrospect do I realize that I was close.
He added: “I stayed awake for six days.” “I was with someone who was doing business with the traders and it was a six-day argument that happened very quickly.”
