Maisie Williams discusses personal struggles following Game of Thrones

Actress Maisie Williams has opened up about the personal difficulties she faced during her early twenties, describing the period as “just hell.” The actress, who gained international fame as Arya Stark in “Game of Thrones,” noted that the conclusion of the series in 2019 left her feeling uncertain about her future career direction.

Williams attributed her struggles to several factors, including the end of the long-running HBO series, the COVID-19 pandemic, Hollywood industry strikes, and the challenge of navigating delayed teenage experiences. She expressed a need for a break to focus on her own well-being and personal growth.

Since 2023, Williams reports a significant positive shift in her life after moving out of London and prioritizing self-care through activities such as reading, writing, and exercise. She is set to appear in the upcoming film “Practical Magic 2” alongside Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.
