Black Panther star Letitia Wright struggled with anxiety and depression before her big break in Hollywood. "I was depressed and full of anxiety. I think it was that pressure to be accepted, to be somebody," Wright told W magazine. A snarky comment about her acting talent and her look on social media sites really started to get her down: "When you are looking outside of yourself for happiness and validation, a mean comment on social media can wreck you.

"I was OK when I was on set, hiding behind my work, but when I was not acting I was full of fear and doubt, trying to fill this void inside of me any way I could: drinking, smoking. It was bad." Wright also almost missed out on her big break after she considered walking away from acting when she found religion, reports aceshowbiz.com.
