Eiza Gonzalez "wasn't able to cry for four years" after her dad passed away

The Hollywood star said on the 'Podcrushed' podcast: "My dad was a really good man. He cared about people so much. And I just couldn't connect, the unfairness of him dying.

"I just was like, '(Of) all the f****** s***** people in the world, him?"

The tragedy actually made Eiza question her own faith in God.

The actress explained: "It made me not believe in anything bigger ... I lost faith completely. And I had a real hard realisation of my dynamic with my father.

"I wasn't able to cry for four years. Four or five years - I didn't cry at all. I was just in complete and utter denial. And, simultaneously, I started my career, and I needed to cry a lot for work."

Eiza struggled to process her own grief for years, and she entered "survival mode" by focusing on her burgeoning career.

The 'Bloodshot' star shared: "Something died in me, and I just completely removed myself from my father. Like, I just couldn't. It was so unbearable that I just sort of walked away.

"It was a really tough time. I dove into work. I was in survival mode constantly."

Eiza previously explained that it took her five years to "accept [her] loss".

The movie star - who ultimately turned to therapy to help process her grief - said via an Instagram post: "Between the ages of 15 and 20 was very hard for me because I used to eat compulsively. It took me a long time to decipher that it was all happening because I was depressed after my dad died.

"And it was very hard for me but I changed my eating habits and began eating healthier and I began taking care of myself in all areas. It took me 5 years to get out of depression and accept my loss. (sic)"
