No one can argue that Anthony Bourdain didn't live a fascinating life. For one, his career beginnings in the New York City food industry were documented in his widely-lauded book "Kitchen Confidential," in which he exposed readers to sordid culinary secrets and lambasted brunch. After that, Bourdain started his enduring television career, which was, in a nutshell, the adventures he had eating, drinking, and exploring different parts of the world. Surely that's a fulfilling career, right?
Additionally, Bourdain had a romance with actress Asia Argento, as noted by Entertainment Tonight, and he was the proud father to a daughter. So could a man with such a rich and fulfilling life really be depressed? Sadly, yes, which is something his fixers — local freelance writers or producers who'd help with shoots and serve as interpreters on TV projects — had begun to notice in the chef's later years. For one, Bourdain's work had gotten more stressful than it used to be, said fixer Michiko Zentoh. "It was a brutal schedule for the production team," Zentoh told Vanity Fair, adding, "Tony had no time to digest anything — not the food or the experience."
Bourdain also didn't like being away from his daughter, according to fixer Alex Roa, who noticed he just didn't seem that excited anymore. "He would just show up for a call, do the shoot, and go straight back to the hotel," she revealed. Others described him as simply "tired."
