I could feel it,” said the “La La Land” star in an interview with “Rolling Stone”. Although she had no hallucinations, she had “a tightening in her chest, the feeling of not being able to breathe, as if the world was ending”. She no longer has panic attacks, but there are now and then phases in which the fear comes back.
