And with a lot of support from his friends and family he turned around his life. Gunn expressed how his friends and loved ones stood by him as he picked himself up.
“But the thing that was so amazing to me was, in that moment of lowness, when I couldn’t help anyone, is when people came to me and showed me the greatest love. People like you, especially my future wife, Jen [Holland], my family, my mom and dad,” said Gunn.
He also added, “You know, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, all of the Guardians. Zoe [Saldana] coming over and cooking me dinner. Sylvester Stallone. The amount of people that showed me love in a moment when I was completely weak.”
