Love Actually star Olivia Olson has told of how she turned her back on the big screen as she feared she was close to a "mental breakdown". Olivia played American schoolgirl Joanna in the festive favourite but decided to pursue a different career.
The child star, who belted All I Want For Christmas at the end of the film, revealed she was told by a casting director to lose 10lbs for a role when she was aged just 12 - and said she has also had her ethnicity questioned throughout her career.
Olivia felt she was close to "a mental breakdown " due to the constant criticism and decided to turn her back on the big screen, the Mirror reports.
