"I like to sit in my backyard. I go out on the hammock and sit in silence and kind of meditate. Nature is calming, and it's nice to go out there and clear my head"
About this Quote
The backyard matters. Not the wilderness, not a remote retreat with a brand partnership attached. A backyard is ordinary, private, almost aggressively unglamorous. That’s the point. In a culture that treats self-care as content and mindfulness as a productivity hack, his image is disarmingly analog: hammock, silence, “kind of meditate.” The hedging is telling. He’s not claiming spiritual authority or a perfect practice; he’s claiming a quiet corner where nothing is demanded of him.
“Clear my head” is the line that gives away the subtext: the mind as a cluttered room after a long shoot day, after a long decade of being recognizable. The intent isn’t to sound profound; it’s to normalize a low-stakes way of regulating stress. Nature becomes less a romantic ideal than a practical tool, an ambient reset button.
There’s also a subtle cultural pivot embedded here. For male celebrities especially, emotional management often gets packaged as toughness or grit. Werkheiser offers a softer script: calm as a choice, silence as maintenance, stillness as something you can practice without announcing a crisis. It’s modest, which is why it works.
