"I heard before you talk about some of the struggles you were going through during Stand by Me, and you know, while I was 11 at the time -- that's an excuse -- I do want to apologize for not being there more for you when you were younger," O'Connell told Wheaton on The Talk, referring to Wheaton revealing the childhood trauma was experiencing while filming the classic 1986 film. Wheaton responded: "I deeply appreciate that. You were 11. How could you have possibly known? Also, everyone in the audience who is a trauma survivor knows this: We're real, real, real good at covering up what we're going through."
