Given his acting resume, it would seem like Paevey’s led a charmed life.
However, like anyone else, he’s also experienced adversity.
For starters, when Paevey was a child, his parents went through a difficult divorce.
Others are personal difficulties, like having an ill parent or dealing with personal health concerns.
Here are some of the tough times Peavey has faced.
Unfortunately,Paevey has some regrets about his modeling days.
Back in the day, Paevey did a fair share of underwear modeling.
In addition, since he never expected to become so well-known, he didn’t consider any future implications.
Even so, Paevey tries to be sanguine about it.
Paevey first reported the news in a low-key way.
While the actor shared some x-rays soon after, these diagnostic pics only told part of the story.
Two months later, Paevey shared a still from footage he was recording while the accident occurred.
Because he was in a remote location, Paevey had to wait hours before he could access medical care.
“My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer,” Paevey stated toHeavy.
“I left Los Angeles to be closer to her.”
In 2017, Paevey’s mom joined him for a very special event: the Daytime Emmy Awards.
Together, they proudly stood on the red carpet outside of the ceremony.
In a moment of parental prescience, his mom had predicted Paevey would someday be at this prestigious event.
However, Paevey did continue to maintain a presence on Instagram.
He decided to scale back his social media presence because he was disheartened with people fraudulently impersonating him.
“The scammers are everywhere, and they are incessant,” Paevey asserted onInstagram.
This wasn’t the first time Paevey needed to warn fans about this underhanded practice.
In 2021, the actor posted a public service message on YouTube.
He cautioned fans to avoid getting conned by private messages from phony celebrities soliciting money.
To make things even more frustrating, Paevey had been dealing with various usurpers on the platform since 2014.
“I have a massive self-loathing complex,” he informedAfterBuzz TV.
“I always think I look doughy on camera.”
“I’ve always been a workout-aholic for more therapeutic reasons than for vanity,” he added.
Besides difficulties with his body image, Paevey’s also revealed that he grapples with imposter syndrome.
Since he didn’t formally study to be an actor, Paevey struggled with feelings of inadequacy.
By June 2024, Peavey indicated that he needed a career change.
In a statement to Heavy, Paevey explained, “my mental health has suffered from it.
It’s taken me to a bit of a dark place.”
Instead of acting, he intended to focus on his own company, Fortunate Wanderer.
He quickly discovered it benefitted his mental wellbeing.
