Dax Shepard is speaking out about one of the most challenging periods of his life.
The actor, director, and podcaster, 51, who is known for the wildly popular Armchair Expert podcast, related to musician Marcus Mumford during a March 2 episode of his podcast that discussed Mumford's experience with childhood sexual abuse.
“I want to bond with you on this experience, which is, I have for years on here been acknowledging that I had been molested, and that was its own hurdle to just say that,” Shepard said. “And I got quite comfortable being able to say that. That was fine.”
Shepard went on to say that he opens up about his experience in his upcoming memoir.
“Now I'm writing a memoir, and last year really the whole year was about, do I have the balls to write down the details of this?” he continued. “Because the details were always gonna be mine. I didn't want anyone to be envisioning me. It's weird that that was still some wall between my shame.”

Shepard went on to say how challenging an experience it was writing about his experience with childhood sexual abuse.
“I bet it took me four months to tell that story," he shared during the episode. "And when I'm writing it, I cannot help but think of people knowing this about me and how still exposed that feels.”
He went on to say he felt "pretty emotional during the few months” amid the writing process.
“I was having really weird, kind of, spikes of emotions and moodiness, and I would forget that's why I was having that. But I finished it, and something about it existing there feels like a lot of weight is off my shoulders," he added.
