Read further and you will understand it wasn't JUST that he was bored. He had many tragic life events, and was in poor health.

He probably had deep depression, mental illness. I can also get very down and deep despair can seem like a form of boredom and should not bet taken flippantly. This question and its answer is putting mental health back years. Just when folk were starting to understand.

Good grief where does all this hostility and rudeness come from towards each other.... every question in the replies is aggression towards fellow players. 🙄

He was one of my FAVORITE actors! Such magnetism and grace on screen. His delivery was always so well done! I read somewhere he knew he had early dementia and that’s why. Who knows? But his legacy on screen is unforgettable! Especially in the role of Addison DeWitt in “All About Eve.” ❤️❤️❤️

He was an alcoholic. That contributed to his suicide.

Boredom is situational and temporary. Anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasure, is a common symptom of depression.

I read he was frustrated and depressed with getting older, becoming reliant on others and not being able to do the things he loved. According to Wikipedia I think 🤷

marygma, I agree. He may have had material success, but seemed void of spiritual success. So sad.
