Brian Austin Green Shares Insight Into Past Neurological Battle

Brian Austin Green’s health crisis is still a head scratcher for him. 

Years after Green first revealed his lengthy-year-long battle with a mysterious neurological condition, the Beverly Hills 90210 alum revealed the scare was “never completely diagnosed.”

“It was, like, stroke-like symptoms,” Green shared during his upcoming appearance on the Really Famous podcast, per People. “I had internal inflammation, so from diet and then, they think, just emotional stress, not handling things well.”

The mysterious illness, which lasted for years, took a massive physical toll, with Green’s quality of life being severely impacted.

“I couldn’t read,” the 53-year-old recalled. “I couldn’t write. I couldn’t—who I was, essentially, was no more. My brain and my body completely disconnected.”

The symptoms—which began amid Green’s marriage to Megan Fox, to whom he was wed from 2010 to 2020—were so severe it took Green an ample amount of time to fully get back to health.

“It took about four and a half years to recover from,” he explained. “I had to learn how to walk again, to talk again. I had to learn how to sort of do everything again.”
