While Chrissy was struggling with finances, she lived on ramen noodles from the dollar store. Sadly, she couldn’t even afford groceries or even a place to live. Thankfully, she had a group of amazing friends who supported her and even gave her somewhere to stay. Metz said, “People who supported me were like, ‘If you don’t have money for food, I’ll cook you dinner. You don’t have money for acting class? Let’s get together and read lines.” Her incredible support system helped her through the rough times.
