'Game of Thrones' notable details horrifying reason she retired from portrayal
Hannah Murray is opening up about the frightening events that led to her decision to leave Hollywood.
In a new content conversation with The Guardian promoting her upcoming memoir, The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness , Murray detailed how a seemingly harmless “wellness cult” eventually spiralled into hallucinations, paranoia and a 28-day psychiatric hospitalisation.
“I had no idea I was going to go through any of the things in the book,” Murray admitted. “I thought, ‘I'm smart. I make good choices.’ Well, I made terrible choices.”
The starlet said she was initially drawn to the group after struggling emotionally while filming 2017’s Detroit . What began as a positive healing meeting slowly evolved into deeper involvement with a spiritual organisation led by a man she calls “Steve.”
“He exuded power in a way I had never known anyone to exude it,” she recalled. “Magical power … I knew I was in the bearing of a magician.”
