On the outside, he seemed invincible: he escaped his abusive father, went pro in the NFL, and broke into the glamorous world of Hollywood.

Now Crews is sharing the raw,never-before-told story of his quest to find the true meaning of toughness. In Tough, he examines arenas of life where he desperately sought control - masculinity, shame, sex, experiences with racism, and relationships - and recounts thesetbacks and victories he faced while uprooting deeply ingrained toxic masculinity and finally confronting his insecurities, painful memories, and limiting beliefs.
