Hannah Murray: When the Character Takes Over

Paglalarawan

In this episode of Character Study, Freya sits down with Hannah Murray: actor, author and now writer, best known for playing Cassie in Skins and Gilly in Game of Thrones.Hannah's debut memoir The Make Believe explores fame, mental illness and the blurring of the line between magic and reality. They talk about what it means to build an identity around being chosen — as an actor, as a romantic partner, as a spiritual seeker — and what happens when that external validation disappears. Hannah opens up about her involvement in a wellness organisation that led to a psychiatric breakdown, the seductive appeal of magical thinking, and why writing her memoir felt like the most authentic creative act of her life.This is a conversation about the stories we tell ourselves, the gap between imagination and reality, and what it really means to make yourself up.🎥 WATCH the full episode here: https://youtu.be/QODMs-gDC6g📘 Buy Hannah Murray's The Make Believe and remember you can now pre-order Freya's novel: A Real Piece of Work.💛 Follow @freybromley on Instagram for updates and to ask your questions📚 Join Freya's newsletter at freyabromley.substack.com for behind the scenes thoughts🎙️And hit subscribe wherever you get your podcasts Hosted on Acast.
