Russell opened up about being forced into manhood far too early, taking on responsibility for his mother after his father left when he was just six months old, while she battled cancer for years afterward. He admitted you can't actually fake being an adult, though he tried, arguing that real maturity requires being properly initiated by trustworthy elders who understand duty, responsibility, and sacrifice, not just swagger and personal achievement. Without that guidance, he said, young men naturally form their own tribes instead, and he found his in a group of other lost young men doing the exact same thing. Sometimes growing up too fast doesn't mean you actually grew up at all.
