Like many people around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, AnnaSophia Robb felt like she had hit a wall. The actor admitted she experienced a wave of emotions when the world was put on pause, from learning how to cope with a strange virus to later dealing with a social and political movement. “The beginning was painful to watch—I felt very grateful for my family, my health and I had a place to stay,” she revealed in her interview with Rose & Ivy. “Then I felt extremely depressed and disillusioned like everybody and then during Black Lives Matter, it was a whole cultural reckoning and it was just depression and fury.”
Robb’s time away from work made her realize how much acting gave her a purpose, but it also helped teach her a lesson about work-life balance. The “Goodnight Darling” actor has since committed to taking on projects that leave her a healthy amount of free time. “Obviously I want to continue to work hard—you need a certain level of focus—but just not burning out,” she shared. “I didn’t know how to use downtime, I still don’t—I was so anxious and didn’t know what the hell to do with myself.”
Robb wanted to make up for lost time with the pandemic behind her. “Now I have some downtime and I am going to spend time with my family and I am vaccinated so I can travel,” she said in 2021. “I will wait to find the right project before just jumping to do something.
