‘Game of Thrones’ star Hannah Murray reveals mental health struggles after being lured into cult

Hannah Murray shares her experience of being recruited into a wellness cult and how it impacted her mental health.

Game of Thrones actress Hannah Murray, known for playing Gilly in the hit HBO series, has revealed how she was sectioned after being recruited into a wellness cult.

The 35-year-old British actress, who also gained fame for her role as Cassie in Skins, will release her memoir The Make-Believe next year, where she details the events leading up to her being detained in 2017.

In the memoir, Murray opens up about how her involvement with the group took a toll on her mental health.

Hutchinson Heinemann, the book's publisher, shared that Murray’s memoir delves into the blurred line between reality and illusion, exploring the deceptive nature of organizations that promise "wellness."

Murray’s personal struggles echo her character in Skins, who battled mental health issues, a topic she reflected on in previous interviews.

Murray shared that portraying such intense roles at a young age took a toll on her own mental well-being, leading her to reevaluate her approach to acting and mental health.
