Mila Kunis and Juliette Lewis on Childhood Fame and the Unique Pressure Child Stars Face Today
Feb 04 2021
The pitfalls of being a child star are a long-standing Hollywood cautionary tale. There are a number of reasons why child actors have a high risk of spiraling out of control into self-destructive behavior, not the least of which being that you’re simply not mentally equipped to deal with the pressures of being a professional actor - and in some cases a bonafide movie star - at that age. It’s an extremely competitive billion-dollar industry that regularly chews up full-grown adults, so navigating it as a child must be overwhelming in a way I can’t imagine. But it clearly isn’t impossible, as plenty of young stars have grown up to be well-adjusted professionals with fruitful careers.
