Maisie Williams of Game of Thrones fame admitted that she has been struggling with self-loathing and her own self-image for many years, in large part to do with hurtful comments from internet trolls.

During an appearance on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, Williams divulges how difficult it was for her to read disparaging comments online, but impossible to stop herself.

“I went through a huge period of my life where I’d tell myself every day that I hated myself,” Williams confesses. But she says she’s “really trying to break free from [that] at the moment.”

Growing up in the spotlight couldn’t have been easy for the 22-year old. While going through puberty on its own is an arduous task, Williams spent the better part of her adolescence in the public eye, making her teenage years all the more difficult as constant scrutiny and negativity rained down on her.

While Williams is working very hard on her self-improvement and self-worth now, she admits that “There was a period of time that I was really sad and then I sort of came out of that. It’s now really terrifying that you’re ever gonna slip back into it, and I think that’s something that I’m really working on.”

We love you, Maisie!

Dwayne Johnson is refuting the stigma that strong men don’t cry.

The Rampage actor was shooting a scene which dealt with suicide for HBO’s Ballers and chose to disclose that his mother had tried to take her own life by walking into oncoming traffic when he was just 15 years old.

Dwayne revealed that he had saved his mom’s life during the horrific incident: “Big rigs and cars swerving outta the way not to hit her. I grabbed her and pulled her back on the gravel shoulder of the road. What’s crazy about that suicide attempt is to this day, she has no recollection of it whatsoever. Probably best she doesn’t.”

The effect of the event caused the former professional wrestler to fall into depression, telling Express, “I reached a point where I didn’t want to do a thing or go anywhere. I was crying constantly.”

Thirty years later, The Rock has said he and his mother have “both healed, but we’ve always got to do our best to pay attention when other people are in pain. We have to help them through it and remind them they are not alone.”

And that is what they call true strength.
