Zoe Saldana Discusses Getting Close To Emotional Breakdown While Filming Colombiana
Posted on Mon Aug 8th, 2011 11:55am PDT By X17 Staff

The 33-year-old stunner told Latina magazine:
- “I was in Paris training for Colombiana, sitting in my hotel room, and I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t stay awake. I must have slept for an entire month. It took me the rest of the year, even as I was working and shooting Colombiana, to pick myself up. Thank God my family was there.â€
Sounds brutal. But on a brighter note, Ms. Saldana talked about the post-Avatar effect. She added:
- “I just want the best filmmakers in the world to tell me, ‘You’re good, kid, you’re legit.’ The recognition will never get old, and I’ll never get accustomed to it. I don’t ever want to, because that will mean I’m taking it for granted."

- “I just stay at home and do absolutely nothing. When I was younger, that would have made me feel like such a failure. Now that I’m older, I know what it means to shut down. I don’t shower if I don’t want to. I don’t answer e-mails. It’s a healthy way of being selfish. You know you’re old when gardening, the Food Network and voice notes from your nieces and nephews blow your mind."
