Lana Condor is opening up about her mental health following the first To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before movie.
The 23-year-old actress and star of the franchise admitted that the success following the film caused her to become burned out.
“I was just saying yes to everything because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you want to capitalize on it, and you want to feel like you’re fully embracing everything,” Lana shared with SELF magazine. “But I’ve never felt more horrible mentally. I was so burned out … I would go home at night and I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I would shake going to bed and shake waking up because it was just so much stimulation.”
She also opened up about how her boyfriend Anthony De La Torre has been very supportive, and what she would tell Lara Jean about a significant other.
“Anthony, every night or every morning, folds my PJ’s and tucks them under my pillow so that I don’t have to go looking for them,” Lana said. “That to me is the biggest expression of love. That’s so much better than, I don’t know. A hot air balloon.”
“He’s been there and supportive,” she continued. “Never once has he ever held me back. He always just wants the best for my future. He wants to be a part of it. That’s what I would say to [my character] Lara Jean: If someone’s making you choose [between them and] your career or your future and your success and your path and your journey, that’s probably not the right person to be with.”
