Brie Larson reveals she's been estranged from her father for 10 years

Brie Larson’s career is on fire right now, but unfortunately she won’t be sharing her success with her father. The Room star revealed in a new interview that she’s been estranged from him for a decade now.

Larson opened up about her strained relationship with her father in Elle’s March issue, explaining it’s likely the inspiration behind some of her “volatile” roles.

"When legally I didn't have to have visitation with him anymore, I jumped on it," she said. "As a kid I tried to understand him and understand the situation. But he didn't do himself any favors. I don't think he ever really wanted to be a parent."

Larson added she channeled a lot of her negative feelings about her father into her work, which she only realized recently.

“All of the stuff I wasn't dealing with in my actual life—all of this anger, my fears and my vulnerabilities—I didn't feel comfortable expressing because I felt like it was part of the human code that when we're out in the public space, everyone's perfect and good, and we're all nice women, and we dress well and we brush our hair and agree with these customs,” she explained.

Larson won the SAG Award in the Lead Actress category for Room.
