It's made me really go inside myself, not want to attend places, not want to go outside."⁠ ⁠ Barry previously deactivated his Instagram account in 2024 to avoid negative comments about his personal life. He now says the hate has led him to avoid public events and has even given him thoughts of stepping away from acting.⁠ ⁠ "When that starts leaking into your art, it becomes a problem, because then you don't want to even be on screen anymore."⁠ ⁠ (📸: Getty Images)
