Black Panther's Letitia Wright Talks About Battling Depression

Letitia Wright is on one of the covers of The Hollywood Reporter‘s Next Generations issue!

Here’s what the 25-year-old Black Panther star had to share with the mag…

On choosing roles: “I pride myself on keeping it the same as when I came into acting, to not just change the lane and take everything, just because it may have a big name or a big budget. Am I right for this part? Is this what I should be playing? If something feels off in my spirit, I know that’s God’s way of saying, ‘You shouldn’t do that.’”

On overcoming crippling depression: “I was putting so much pressure on myself…You get comfortable with the idea of thinking, maybe it’s OK to leave.”
