United Kingdom, Aug. 31 -- Olivia Cooke felt "lonely and quite ill" when she lived abroad alone at a young age.

The 31-year-old actress moved from the UK to New York aged 21 - the first time she had lived away from her mum's house in Oldham, North West England - before going to Vancouver, Canada, and Los Angeles whilst filming multiple TV shows.

She explained in The Observer Magazine: "I was so career-focused back then, and I didn't really have a base.

"All my friends were here, and I didn't have many people around me. I was really lonely and quite ill."

But Olivia had to keep going because she was living her dream as an actress.

She added: "Who am I to say no?

"This was my dream come true, and I had nothing else to fall back on." ...
