“It was a tough decision,” he said.
“Our jaws were on the floor.
I was blown away.
She brought her A-game that day.”
“The experience wasn’t easy for me,” she wrote, per an excerpt published by PEOPLE.
“My problem wasn’t with anyone involved in the production but with what acting did to my mind.
I think I started Method acting only I didn’t know how to break out of my character.
I really became this other person.”
I hope I never get close to that occupational hazard again."
