Sandra Oh gets real about her childhood battle with mental health.
, Oh plays Ming Lee, the mother of 13-year-old Mei, a girl who is going through a big family change that turns her into a giant Red Panda, when her emotions are triggered. “Honestly, I relate to Mei quite deeply because I feel like I've spent my entire life trying to manage my inner panda,” the 50-year-old actress told ET's Matt Cohen at the premiere of the film in Los Angeles. “My big, giant, inner panda.
“I think what the movie touches on is like extreme highs and lows of emotion,” she said. “I think as an adult when I realize, ‘Oh, I had a lot of depression, I had a lot of anxiety.’ I don't think that necessarily I had that type of language. At that point, I would say I was a very emotional kid and obviously I made a career out of it.”

I am very stubborn.
