Title of recent article by Mara Wilson. Star of Feature Films such as Matilda, Miracle on 34th Street and Mrs Doubtfire.
Very insightful and thought provoking.

Re: Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy
yes I saw the same article in the nationals too -
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... crazy.html
seems to be common for these child stars to become alienated from their parents, and their parents losing complete control ! how that happens I wonder, perhaps their pampering and egos and being surrounded by adults they gradually trust more and get closer to, replacing their parents - how scarey.
Mara Wilson's come out the other side intact, but with experiences to share warning of what the industry can do - doesn't act anymore, and looking at her, who would recognise she was the talented cute child from Mrs Doubtfire !

Sadly, I think we can see this has happened to Justin Bieber before our very eyes

Poor Justin, he's so crazy that he doesn't even know how to wear a belt. His jeans are always hanging off his bum!Selina2 wrote:Sadly, I think we can see this has happened to Justin Bieber before our very eyes

and then we have another child star Justin...Timberlake, grounded, immensely talented and well-adjusted.SNN wrote:Poor Justin, he's so crazy that he doesn't even know how to wear a belt.

Re: Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy
Saoirse Ronan too - seems very grounded and sensible.
Re: Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy
Justin Timberlake is definitely a great example of how being child star can rocket you into a hugely successful career as an adult with the help of great and supportive mums (like NAPMers)riverdancefan wrote:and then we have another child star Justin...Timberlake, grounded, immensely talented and well-adjusted.SNN wrote:Poor Justin, he's so crazy that he doesn't even know how to wear a belt.

Then there's Britney - who went right off the rails.
Re: Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy
Oh yes...Britney lost the plot didn't she...and Miley Cyrus has gone a bit nuts - Drew Barrymore has also been through lots of problems, so many child stars, no room to mention them all But another American...Dakota Fanning seems grounded and she really was a huge child star and she's still acting. And Brit, Daniel Radcliffe's had problems with alcohol too I read
And I agree about Sairise Ronan, but she is younger than the child film stars mentioned, so perhaps things are changing, and there's more protection for children in the industry and no doubt down to her parents,and they'd have seen so many child stars ended up with problems.

The most surprising of late is Amanda Bynes. Oh dear Apparently she has gone off the rails and cut her parents off. Very odd.

Horrible hair (then shaved it)
Posts countless disturbing tweets, pictures and videos
I even think she got arrested recently!
It's quite tragic and very fast. She was/is such a funny actor and I love 'The Amanda Show' and 'She's The Man'!

Re: Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy
Thanks for posting this, a very enjoyable and insightful article. The other day my dc were watching our DVD of 'a simple wish' and I wondered what had become of mara. She comes across very well in her article ( as do her parents).geordiegirl wrote:Title of recent article by Mara Wilson.
