Zoe Saldana is opening up about her emotional breakdown after the success of the mega film, “Avatar.”

“The year after “Avatar” was just emotionally overwhelming,” she told Latina magazine. “I was traveling all over the world, waking up in different time zones. Your body gets exhausted, and by the end of the year, I just collapsed.”

The actress later revealed that she nearly hit rock bottom when she began training for her new film, “Colombiana,” in Paris. “I was… siting in my hotel room, and I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t stay awake. I must have slept for an entire month. It took me the rest of the year, even as I was working and shooting “Colombiana,” to pick myself up.

She’s been sizzling on the silver screen film after film, but health is always first, Zoe. Let’s pray she’s gotten herself in better spirits to carry on.
