Back in October, Ellisspoke to PEOPLEaboutInsecure’s ending and how he would potentially pass on screening the final episode to avoid closing out that chapter of his life.
“I don’t know, because I think I’ll be a wreck,” he explained at the time while attending the show’s premiere event in Los Angeles. “I want to watch it, obviously I know how it ends, but there’s this finality that I don’t know that I’m personally really ready for.”

TheTop Gun: Maverickstar also revealed he has a “weird thing” of avoiding the finales of all television shows he loves, and saidInsecuremay not be any different.
“I don’t want to know how it ends,” he said of skipping the last chapter of acclaimed programs likeBreaking Bad. “I didn’t want Walter White to die, for example, so I have this weird thing with that. I think that was very much this for me, although it was inevitable that I was going to find out how it ended.”
Ellis admitted he doesn’t consider himself a “closure person” and prefers his shows without an ending, even if it means living in a bit of denial. “I think I’m like, ‘Nah, it’s cool, it’s going to come back and it’s going to do its thing,'” he said.
