RE: A Look on Why Child Stars Often Take the Wrong Turn in Showbiz
True. Fame can easily ruin a child's life. There has been many child star that took the wrong path. Some did manages pull-out themselves from the quagmire but others were not as lucky. This is why it's important for a child to experience a real and happy childhood. Unfortunately, most doesn't have such luxury.
Exactly! This same thoughts were my inspiration to write this article. And not just in acting really, any child without the right childhood experience and guidance would most probably not make the best choices later in their life. Thanks for the input really glad to see someone who shares my view.
Fame can ruin anybody's life, but especially a child.
I watched a doc on Bob Weir, and he talked a lot about Jerry Garcia. The one part that really stood out was that Jerry was having a hard time dealing with the celebrity and asked "How am I supposed to deal with the fame?" and Bob said something to the effect of "You're not supposed to. Celebrities are an unnatural idea."
Its true. In the past our tribes were much smaller, and the idea of a celebrity was nearly entirely foreign. Our brains just aren't wired to cope with that world.
Totally agree. These are wise words my friend, glad to have you on my channel.
