Reneé Rapp is stepping back from acting for now, says she gets ‘so anxious on sets’
LA TimesReneé Rapp recently spoke about why she’s decided to step away from acting for now. In an all-encompassing interview for the latest edition of The Times’ columnist Amy Kaufman’s “For Real” column, Rapp spoke about finding the satisfaction she sought through acting in her musical journey. The lean into music, however, was always Rapp’s endgame for her career, saying “I want to be a pop star” even before landing her first major acting role. Even with Rapp’s change in direction and improved health, the actor’s parents feel “more worried than they ever have been, because they know more now,” she told the Guardian. “Eating disorders don’t just go away and like, you’re healed, like: ‘Sorry, I can eat again, ha ha!’ It’s a lifelong thing,” Rapp explained.
