Sherlyn Woodley, an American actress who has starred in the "Divergent" series and the American drama "Big Little Lies" series, revealed in an interview with The New York Times a few days ago that she was "very ill in her early 20s", which forced her to put her health before her career.
Sherlyn Woodley, 28, said she had never spoken publicly about it before and that "I was very ill in my early 20s, which made me busy at work at the time and worried about my body." She revealed that she turned down many opportunities, "and those jobs were eventually handed over to some of my peers who I liked very much, and they were all successful." She recalls saying at the time, "I chose to surrender and gave up my career because I had no choice." This negative voice is always in my head. Luckily, she ended up walking in, "I've been paying a lot of attention to my mental health over the last few years, and it's been a slow job. But it is precisely because of this that I have the confidence that I have found the value of my existence, whether it is in the face of career or interpersonal relationships. Sherlyn Woodley says she's grateful for the experience, but she never wants to go back in time.
Back in 2018, Sherlyn Woodley revealed in an interview that her agent hadn't sent her a script for almost a year before taking on Big Little Lies. She initially refused to read the script for Big Little Lies, but decided to star after learning that Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Dunn were all in the cast. She said: "I read the book and fell in love with it. ”
