'I wasted so much time trying to identify by other people’s standards': Lucy Boynton on mental health and self-love

Prepare to become OBSESSED.There’s a big discussion around mental health, too. What kind of relationship have you had with your own mental health?

Oh boy! I think it is an interesting thing that has only started to be a conversation later on in my life. I don’t really remember at high school it being much of a topic of conversation. I know that we could go to the school nurses and discuss anything if we wanted to, but it wasn't a thing that was done. Now, with social media, it’s become much more common to share openly, now it’s easier and it's much less daunting.

I find it easy to lean into being shy and apologetic for myself and that’s where Astrid came in very handy because she’s so unapologetic and so happy for her opinion to be heard and take up space. I would walk away from playing her for a week and I would be a bit louder and take up more space. It made me realise how much I’d not been doing that in my own time. It’s learning that it’s ok to be wrong, that you can have an opinion on a Tuesday that changes on a Thursday, too.
