Julia Foxwent all in for her upcoming memoirDown the Drain.
In a recent interview withThe New York Timesahead of the book’s release in October, the actress and first-time author, 33, recalled rushing to finish the book for publisher Simon & Schuster.
“I had to turn it in in, like, three months or something. I thought I had six months,” she said.
“The book swallowed my life. Everything became book, book, book. I didn’t go out,” Fox continued. “I didn’t take other jobs. I was doing it for me. It felt really cathartic. It was really important to be honest and vulnerable.”
“My hope now would be that someone reads it and thinks: ‘She went through this and look at her now. I can get over anything,’ " she added to the outlet.

Fox also shared that some people still ask her whether she used a ghostwriter to writeDown the Drain.The actress has previously emphasized that she “wrote every single word in this book” while premiering the book’s cover onTikTokin March.
“I’ve had people be like: ‘Off record, between you and I, did you use a ghostwriter? Did somebody help you?’ " Fox said. “It’s kind of offensive. I wouldn’t make that statement if there were some ghostwriter out in the world — that feels really stupid.”
