Shailene Woodley says she was 'very, very sick' and afraid she might never work again during the 'Divergent' series. (via toofab)
might seem like she's enjoyed a steady career since her breakout performance in 2011's "The Descendants," but the 28-year-old star says it almost came crashing to a halt when she was still in her early 20s.
Whatever it was, though, was incredibly serious. Even as she was being chastised for letting roles go, Woodley said she was battling with her own thoughts, like, "Am I going to survive what I'm going through right now and ever be healthy, or even have the opportunity to work on projects I'm passionate about again because of the situation I'm in?"
"There was a huge chunk of time where fear and anxiety and competition were definitely at the forefront of my mind and my ego in a way they weren't when I was younger."
