'Game of Thrones' star Maisie Williams says fame had a negative affect on her mental health and self-esteem
In an interview on the Happy Place podcast, Williams opened up about how it was a challenge navigating life as a teenager while also managing her fame from "Game of Thrones."Williams, who was 13 years old when she was cast as Arya Stark, said there was a period of time where she was sad after becoming overwhelmed by the criticism on social media."It gets to a point where you're almost craving something negative, so you can just sit in a hole of sadness," Williams said.
That's still something that I'm really working on, because I think that's really hard. It's really hard to feel sad and not feel completely defeated by it."Last month, her co-star and friend Sophie Turner, who plays her show sister Sansa Stark, said she dealt with depression during the show.As the HBO hit series comes to an end, Williams is looking forward her fame quieting down momentarily so she can try to experience a"normal life.
