For anyone that hasn't experienced a panic attack, let me tell you.............it can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. They are horrific. Until you have experienced one you will never know just how horrendous they are.

had one for the first time in 20 years of my job, doing something I'm familar in presenting. Never had one before. It almost reduced me to tears. It was the second most horrific and one of the most embarrassing moments of my life
Micheal might see this as the most embarrassing moment of his life, but I hope he doesn't regret it because it inspired me. That may sound strange but to know that a confident, successful man is going through the same thing as me, which I always thought made me a weak, hopeless embarrassment of a human being, just reminds me that we are all human and this is just part of modern day life. I hope he uses the opportunity to talk more about anxiety and panic attacks to help normalise them and erase the ridiculous 'embarrassment' and shame surrounding them

Breaking Point No i dont believe that you should accept any limitations but i believe you should challenge them all the time in order to come over them. I also agree everything takes practice. Here is my argument. When a giant company like Samsung is holding a event, they should choose someone that has already challenged its limitations of speech and practiced enough in order to make a speech. Its not the speakers fault, but its Samsungs fault for choosing someone like him. Im sure there are millions of people who could done a excellent speech that Samsung could have chosen.

Shit I got a panic attack just watching this. Every second you’re up there is like absolute magnified torture. It’s like something else takes over you. The entire time someone is addressing you, you feel lightheaded and unable to focus on the topic at hand. Then when you’re attempting to speak you feel like puking. The utter shame you feel after is awful because not only do you feel like you let yourself down, but you also wonder if you can trust yourself again. Anxiety kills you

Nervous to begin with, which is fine, he'd have pulled through. He accidentally spoke over the introduction from the presenter, then when he realised he done it, the mind scrambled. He's only human.
You can hear his breath being taken away while he struggles to come to terms with it. It’s heart wrenching to watch. Those who have had panic attacks can probably relate to the total loss of control you experience. Poor dude.

I felt embarassed watching this. Can't blame him though, there were a ton of people at CES and he's only a human... Things like this happen.
You can tell this is anxiety / panic straight away from the moment he firsts enters the stage look at his body language and the leg swing when he shakes the guys hand. It must of been horrendous for him. Some people are just not made out to be great public speakers and I am one them I suffer with anxiety myself. Kudos for even walking out on that stage I couldn't do it myself. The moment after he walked off and the emotions he is feeling must of been tough I have been there myself it isn't nice. Why are people so critical? that is what is wrong with the world today. Anxiety / Stage fright and Panick attacks happen if that was me walking out I would of been like f**k this haha! it happens but fair play to him for even attempting it if he has anxiety. :)

Yep, that's a classic panic attack if there ever was one. I've suffered from them for years. The signs are all there. They are brutal and you really do feel like you're going to die. But his physical movements, nervous hand gestures and the mind going blank, been there, done that.

I'm the same! It's so irrational aswel!
Three things: a) this can happen to anyone so you’re not alone; b) you’re anxiety is mostly not visible to audience, until Michael Bay started to walk off nobody could tell if he under extreme duress, so hold on and after a few initial moments anxiety goes down and you will be ok; c) public speaking is not a stage performance, audience is only interested in the content, so just focus into content and not on yourself. As you can tell, I am a survivor (as of today) and had my own moments of panic attacks on stage but learned to improve significantly by following these 3 points.
I love the interviewer for not making it awkward for him!
I've literally never liked Bay or his movies, but I have a bit of respect for him after this. Anxiety and panic attacks can be a nasty cycle especially for people who have to speak for a living.
he handled it soo well to be honest I would've cried if I was gonna present in front of this many crowd

Jairzinho121 if you've ever been through one you would think it is horrific, not funny at all,
What he had was a panic/anxiety attack. I've experienced it many times and it's horrible. I hope he's ok
I think he was very brave for going out there in the first place. It is not a easy condition to deal with and he has taken the first step to dealing with it and it takes time to get it under control. I too have tackled this condition.
Michael is a brave guy. Even a success story like him can have these. I started experiencing these at my work during presentations and it shattered me for a period of time. It was followed by depression and self doubt. I still battle these, but I understand it better so it’s a known part of me and I expect panic to show up and I manage it. Michael is brave and should be applauded.

Man, I know that scary feeling. It’s all encompassing. Your mind and body are in a free fall feeding off one another.
This is one of THE most understandable and relatable things to happen. Its a known fact most people are scared of public speaking to varying extents, meaning most people experience a form of fear that has the potential to lead to a panic attack during a public speaking event. Therefore WHY should he or we feel embarrassed about this?! This is important for everyone to see, even successful, confident, smart men have panic attacks. Instead of letting them overcome us and drive us to a pit of shame we should have a sense of humour and laugh at them. Thanks for posting, content like this is normalising mental health and anxiety struggles induced by modern day life that we all need to be aware of and NOT be ashamed about.
Michael Bay, if you ever read any of these comments, know that many of us have been there, have felt what you felt, faced the beast, and have never surrendered. When I see Michael in this video, I see myself in the audience (which I wasn’t) and want to stand-up and deflect the bad energy he’s feeling. I would imagine that Michael left the stage, went to the bathroom, looked himself in the mirror and said, “I can’t believe I just bailed on that audience”. Within 15 minutes he was probably ready to go back out there but the moment had passed. To all of you who get panics attacks, we’re with you.
As soon as he said escape, that's the one word he could think about for the rest of this video
Couldn't love him more after this.. as someone who has suffered from social anxiety and attacks like this, and even if I didn't, it shows a lot. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's something we largely can't control. We all wish we could deliver a powerful, edge of your seat presentation or speech, but for many of us, it's just impossible when we become crippled like this. Thank you, Michael Bay. Your, what many may perceive as a humiliating blunder, has helped to normalize a stigma
I can confirm it wasn't stage fright or panic attack, the autocue failed to work so he couldn't go on with his presentation.

Don't ever judge somebody having a panic attack. I'm a Lawyer. If anyone should be expected to maintain composure at all times, it would be me. However, and I have zero shame in saying this, I've had panic attacks come that have rendered me absolutely useless. All rationale goes flying out of the window. I'm having a heart attack. I'm about to pass out. I'm dying. It doesn't even matter whether I'm in front of 100 people or on my couch alone. They hit. They hit very hard. What he felt in this moment was some combination of these feelings. It's hard enough when you're alone or in a comfortable environment. He had one at the worst possible time. He needed to exit stage left immediately. He's not weird or mentally ill. These things happen. Nobody is immune.

I can’t imagine what those few moments back stage before he came out were like. This happened to me at my best friends wedding when I was supposed to give a best man speech. I sat in the corner by myself all night with ice cold hands freaking out scared to death trying to think of what to say and how to gather the courage to do it I must’ve drank 13 beers and still couldn’t calm down. I sat there and had a 3 hour long panic attack while everyone danced and mingled. Then luckily for me the DJ was cheap and inexperienced and never called me up
That sucks.
Had to do a presentation in class... Never in my life have I ever stumbled over my words so much. I could only imagine how he felt in front of that many people.
I know that feel, bro.
That's not a "panic attack". It's extreme discomfort in front of a large audience. A panic attack is a clinical state with very different symptoms.
I did the same thing once.The only difference was that I was asked to leave because I wasn't making much sense on the stage. I feel you Micheal.
I used to be in bands and that was fine performing but now I have to present stuff to like 7 or 8 people and I have absolutely wild panic attacks lol. It's truly horrendous. Thanks for keeping this up, I hope Michael Bay is okay with it, it helps a lot of people including me.

This was very difficult to watch! I know EXACTLY what he went through. It is not fun at all! Feels like the walls are caving in while your mind is racing - your heart is racing and beating out of your chest and there is no escape!!
@TechSmartt Who came out with the first Curved Tv coz Samsung Sony and LG have one?
Yeah, I've had quite a few panic attacks over the years, and it really is a horrible feeling. It's like your body and mind just stop working, and literally all you can do is extricate yourself from the situation.
when does the complete Samsung Press Conference comes out?
Love your intro Keaton seriously you are getting really really professional Keep up the good work
I've had that. And I just stand there letting my mouth roll without knowing what will come out next. Really uncomfortable. In a couple occasions friends have come to my rescue taking the mic from me. Then come the days and weeks of thinking what I should've said instead etc. Not the kind of stress anyone needs.
Remind me not to ask him to be in my improv group.
I've had two when I was hosting sales meetings in front of a small team. You start listening to what you are saying too much, then analyse it while you're speaking about something else then focus on that, losing your train of thought, then your mind goes blank. I had to leave the room like this. Then you feel so embarrassed about it all. It's horrible.

That did not look like a panic attack but rather an opportunity taken to leave the stage because the teleprompter stopped working. His appearance was scripted - the words fell away and he didn’t have a Plan B. Too bad the equipment failed but it looked like a pretty graceful exit to me.
Gosh, it sucks that this ended up on youtube. Its literally the greatest fear for a panic attack to go viral
As much as I don't really like Michael Bay movies , he was pretty damn relatable in this moment . Happens to everyone .
You guys he didn't walk off because he was having a panic attack. He walked off because the auto cue failed and he didn't have a clue what to say. If you know your business well you would know the answer.....he only asked how he creates such great ideas and how the curve tv can help viewers. Even I could answer that. He basically was relying on auto cue and it failed so he had no idea how to answer. He should have prepared in the event of that happening.
Thanks for posting this video. Wow this was horrible, must have been quite traumatizing.
I actually feel sorry for Michael Bay.. I hope everything is okay!
Poor guy. If he had just paused, taken a moment and spoke from the heart, he could have gotten back on track. Worst thing that can happen is what he already did. No harm in walking off the stage. But like all of us have done before, I know he regretted it.
Anxiety attacks for those of you who don't know, are totally debilitating. It's a feeling of pure doom that comes over your entire being in a wave, totally unwarranted and instantaneously. As if someone has just told you that you're going to die in 10 seconds. Once it starts, it seemingly builds and gets worse with every single heartbeat FORCING you to drop what you're doing and distract yourself to calm down. Nothing matters in that moment. If you're on the phone, you hang up. If you're driving, you stop and get out. If you're in the middle of checking out at the grocery store, you stop and walk away. Sure, you look totally crazy but there is no working through it, while also continuing to partake in what ever activity youre involved in. I hate them.
It's sad to see a man who has brought us so much joy have a crippling panic attack like that
This is a good lesson. If the audio/visual equipment fails, then have it on paper so you can pull out of your pocket and just read it.
I hate public speaking. Been in the same situation and somehow managed to blurt my way through it. It's the worst feeling and after it's over you still feel bad.....for days!
That guy stayed completely calm throughout the whole video. What a boss
I kinda feel sorry for him because I know how hard it is especially when you have to talk in front of thousands of people. the outstanding people don't see what's going on inside him. it's like the whole world shaking and it keeps getting worse I hope you found a way to get over it if you take your time you can make it
Seven years later and I'm just seeing this for the first time. Not a fan of Bay's work, I find it unengaging and poorly thought out, but I've spent plenty of time on stage, doing pre-prepared stuff and adlibbing. It's an entirely different skill-set to directing. When directing, he's in charge. On stage like that he's aware that all eyes are on him, hanging on his every word, but he's not in charge. Not everyone can cope with that.
Yeah, makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who has experienced this. We are all human and have different challenges in life. This happened to me during an interview. I felt so embarrassed and failed the interview 😞. Life goes on and I'm okay. I have decided to retire and just enjoy my life!
Was it me, or did you hear a gunshot after he left?

Lior420, that's him punching or kicking something as if to say "fuck, it got the better of me again" I really felt for him, it's a fucked up feeling.
He handled it with a great way . He was just nervous being recorded by all of these cameras. I would have been too . He knew that he was going to screw up anyway and that's why he left . That's not something to have fun with .
My heart goes out to him.... Those of us that know... Know.
Ouch.... it happens to the best of us. Not a pleasant place to be but inside, believe me we are all feeling this
I feel so bad for him, I have a choir performance on Monday and it gets so hot up there and I always think so much about my fear of a panic attack and a following fading out that I actually feel like I am going to fade out and my heart beats so fast and I know it's all my thoughts and that it won't go away when I think about it but when I think that I am thinking about it so it feels like I am going to faint worse and worse and then at some point I think I'm really fading out and that makes it worse, does anyone know what to do?

Luna Hoppe I have had to speak in front of large groups and although it can make you nervous. one thing I do is focus on it only being a moment and in a matter of minutes it will be over.....That always worked for me so far and the longer I talked the less nervous I felt.....once it's over you'll be like wow that Wasnt so bad!
Awe, maybe he over-prepared. I can totally relate to this! Sometimes you are just so dead set on something going according to plan, you freak out when you lose your place. Oh well, next time Michael. Glad to see all the supportive comments too. I have anxiety and I'm pretty sure I'm a terrible public speaker. Camera - I'm okay. Public speaking, no way.
Glad to see all the support in the comments.

Don't rely on the teleprompters during live presentations, pull out your backup index cards with all the talking points from your pocket.
"Ummm...Sorry...What do I do? I made the fuckin' Transformer movies. 'Nuff said. I'm done."
I feel you, man, I feel you. Even if someone tells me it's okay, it doesn't help shit.
