Bella Thorne has been staying away from the “mean girl” roles, sharing that she has turned down several big offers so that she can branch out as an actress.
Her latest film Big Sky is definitely a huge deviation from the usual teeny-bopper films she would take on – the actress plays an agoraphobia-stricken character named Hazel who has to overcome her fears to save her mother.
According to Mayo Clinic, agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.

The 17-year-old also shares that she had internalized her role so much that at one point she broke out in hives in the middle of shooting.
The director had to pause the take to figure out why Bella started to have red rashes all over her face, later on finding out that she had suffered from a panic attack.
Bella recently graced the red carpet for her film Big Sky’s premiere.

Joining the former Shake It Up actress was her boyfriend Gregg Sulkin, who stayed off the red carpet this time but made sure to protect his girl from the blinding camera flashes from the paparazzi. Maybe a bit too protective.
