Sandra Oh has no intention of starring in Grey's Anatomy season 18: playing Cristina Yang has already sent her to therapy
Sandra Oh, the actress we've all come to know as Cristina Yang, revealed for the first time ever that her rapid rise to fame with the success of Grey's Anatomy was a "traumatic experience" for her.
The actress, 50, played the talented doctor in Shonda Rhimes' medical drama series from 2005 to 2014, but has only now admitted that the show had serious repercussions on his private life.
In an interview on Sunday Today with Willie Geist, Sandra Oh said: To be honest, it was traumatic. It was really traumatic.
It is why I keep saying that what one needs to do this job is to have a lot of privacy. When you lose your anonymity, you need to develop skills to try to remain yourself.
I went from not being able to go out, to hiding in restaurants, and little by little I learned to manage attention, manage expectations, without losing sense of myself.
To manage the fame of Grey's Anatomy I went to therapy
To manage the fame that came with Grey's Anatomy, the loss of all rights to privacy and the awareness of having to work on herself to find it again, Sandra Oh asked an expert for help on her way to therapy.
“I've had a good therapist for some time - revealed the actress - I'm not kidding… It was very, very important ».
Apparently, in her sessions, Sandra Oh has learned to set the limits of her professional life.
"In this job you have to learn to find a way to stay with your feet on the ground - he said - And many times he is saying no".
And so, when asked if she was planning to return to play Cristina Yang in Grey's Anatomy season 18, the actress responded with a categorical "No".
“I love the show though, and that's also why I really appreciate the show … The fact that I am still being asked to take part in it.
It's very rare to be able to see a character's impact on a show like this, '' Oh explained.``So in a way, when you play a role, you do your job like in a bubble and then you let it go.
I left that show almost seven years ago. So in my mind it's gone. But for many people the character of Cristina Yang is still very much alive. And even if I understand it and still love it, I have now moved on .
