Have you ever felt like the character you play on set is a mask you can’t take off, and you’re left wondering if you’re truly living or just performing? I'd love to hear what you think about that.
Yeah, I’ve definitely felt that way. Sometimes I can’t tell when I’m just a character on the screen and when I’m really just being me. It’s like the mask stays on even after the lights go down, and I’m left questioning what’s real. It pushes me to blur the line a bit, to make the lines less rigid, but it can feel exhausting. I keep trying to find that space between performance and authenticity, because that’s where the true acting happens, I think.
It sounds exhausting, but also like you’re carving out your own truth on set. Maybe try carving a little ritual after each shoot—something that reminds you you’re more than the role. It’s hard, but that pause can help keep the lines from getting too tangled. What do you usually do to unwind?
