Django Unchained star Kerry Washington has revealed she almost lost her sanity while filming the controversial blockbuster movie.
Washington told The Los Angeles Times that the grueling eight month shoot nearly sent her over the edge.
"I felt like if it had gone on a week longer, I would have lost my mind," declared the actress, who plays Jamie Foxx's wife in the Quentin Tarantino-directed slavery-era epic.
Washington, who also stars as crisis manager Olivia Pope on ABC's Scandal, found herself in a crisis of her own and asked her manager and her parents to visit her at Django's Louisiana plantation set.
"I usually never let my people come visit me on set because I think it's terribly distracting," Washington said. "I don't enjoy it but I asked them to come down because I was concerned for my sanity."
