Michelle Rodriguez Says She "Went Pretty Crazy" After Paul Walker's Death


Vin Diesel isn't the only one breaking down about Paul Walker's tragic death. Fast and Furious actress Michelle Rodriguez is finally opening up about how deeply her co-star's death affected her. 
“I actually went on a bit of a binge,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I went crazy a little bit. I went pretty crazy. A lot of the stuff I did last year I would never do had I been in my right mind.”

Everyone grieves differently. The "pretty crazy" stuff she alluded to was well-documented by the media: kissing model Cara Delevingne at a Knicks game, frolicking through Ibiza hooking up with Zac Efron, and hanging out on a yacht with everyone's favorite Canadian, Justin Bieber. 
“I was pushing myself to feel,” she said. “I felt like nothing I could do could make me feel alive, so I just kept pushing myself harder and harder. I was traveling and I was having sex. And I was just trying to ignore everything that I was feeling.”

Walker, who Rodriguez calls “the deepest guy I know,” was killed suddenly on November 30, 2013 in a car crash while the seventh movie of the $1.7 billion Fast and Furious empire was still shooting. For a while, Rodriguez says she felt like there was no longer a reason for existing, but then "woke up [one morning] with a profound respect for living.”

“I stood tall one day and I said, ‘You know what, Michelle? Stop f—ing hiding. Go manifest.’ And all of a sudden, I picked myself up and started hustling.”
