Brie Larson’s performance in Bedroom got her top recognition as well as an Oscar in the Best Actress category. Her role as Ma rocked a whole audience of people, however, in a past interview with Variety, the actress revealed how the emotions she portrayed for the role didn’t come out of nowhere but were very personal.

At the age of six, she offered her dream of becoming an actress, and Larson’s mother spared no more than a second to enroll her in classes that would then push her to pursue more stage roles.

This trip, however, did not seem to end as his mother then found an apartment for him and his sister to live comfortably as a three.
“It was ‘Chamber.’ It was one room, the bed came out of the wall, I had two pairs of jeans, a few shirts, a few headbands and a pair of orange Converse (sneakers).
It wasn’t until later that she realized she wouldn’t be going home and that this new studio would be four walls that she would have to get used to seeing. She then went on to talk about how her mom never let them feel like life was tough, even though they had to survive on Top Ramen tacos and 99¢ Jack in the Box. For her, it was like a perfect world with her optimal family.
Her mother had masked the pain so well that when she accidentally caught her crying silently, all she could imagine was how she too had cried when her toys were taken away from her. However, she later realized what was going on and what her mother was going through.
