Ashley Benson Covers Cosmopolitan UK
Ashley Benson is on the cover of Cosmopolitan UK. The actress is on the cover of the magazine’s upcoming April issue.
In the issue, Benson talks life after Pretty Little Liars, taking a year off from acting, acceptance, relationships, her friends, Jennifer Anniston, therapy, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On taking a year off from acting: “It was the best thing I ever did. I didn’t work for a year and studied directors I wanted to work with and looked at actresses who inspired me, who came from TV and made it into film. I started to compartmentalise my wants and needs.”
On acceptance: “It’s not about a gender or anything like that. And I think that’s really important for people to understand. There is no reason that somebody should get bullied or talked about or shut off for who they love. I think acceptance right now is everything, and the more we can educate people about these topics, the better it will become for everyone.”
On therapy: “It’s good to talk to a third party about what’s going on in my life. I need to be surrounded by positive people. I have an amazing core group. That’s the best thing that’s come out of quarantine, having this very solid foundation of friends who have my back, and I have theirs. It’s really nice to have that support for all of us.”
