Avatar drove Zoe to brink of breakdown
The Star Trek actress Zoe Saldana, who portrayed blue alien Neytiri in the James Cameron-directed 2009 movie Avatar, admits she struggled to deal with the after-effects of the film’s success and was exhausted, leading her at one point to spend “an entire month” sleeping.
She said, “The year after Avatar was just emotionally overwhelming. I was travelling all over the world, waking up in different time zones. Your body gets exhausted and by the end of the year I just collapsed. I was sitting in my hotel room and I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t stay awake. I must have slept for an entire month.”
Now Zoe prefers to have a slow pace of life with her partner Keith Britton, and she admits she will go for days without washing or checking her emails if she feels it is necessary. She added to Latina magazine, “I don’t shower if I don’t want to. I don’t answer emails. It’s a healthy way of being selfish.”
