Ciara Bravo Talks Big Time Rush: 'I Got To Witness' The Fan Girls

Ciara Bravo is opening up about Red Band Society in the April 2015 issue of NKD mag.

The 18-year-old actress chatted about the research she put in and working alongside Octavia Spencer, and more. Check it:

On Big Time Rush: “It was overwhelming at first, but I didn’t take the grunt of the fan base because it was the boys who had to deal with the screaming fan girls. I got to witness it a few steps back. It’s important to be nice to the fans because they’re the ones keeping the show alive.”

On Red Band Society: “I prepared a lot for this role. I did a lot of research so I could make sure I could do people suffering from eating disorders justice. I read books, talked to people who have experienced it and did research on the Internet. It was enlightening to learn more about this topic. It makes me appreciate life more. I saw loads of tweets from people who understood what she was going through, and ‘thank you’s’ as well. Red Band started off as a happy and healthy show and then deteriorated, really showing how diseases affect people emotionally and mentally.”

On Octavia Spencer: “Octavia is honestly full of the best energy, light spirited and constantly laughing. She’s got a boisterous personality and is so much fun to be around. Octavia has so much to teach about this business because she’s been in it for a very long time. She tells me always to put my own happiness first because that’s best for my mental state.”
