Sam Asghari also opened up on the darker side of the entertainment industry, revealing the struggles of dealing with people who take advantage of other's vulnerability.

“One of the hardest things, I think, to deal with when you go into entertainment is your parents and the people around you, and everything that happens, and everybody that comes into your life that’s taken advantage — that damages you because those are the people that are closest to you,” Asghari said.

"They take an advantage because they think, you know, you owe something to them or something, which is so ridiculous," he added.
