Wil Wheaton Claims He Was 'Forced' To Be A Child Star

For Access Hollywood's series "Surviving Child Stardom," Zuri Hall had an intensely personal interview with Wil Wheaton, in which the "Stand By Me" star opened up about what he felt was the dark side of his fame. "The only reason I didn't kill myself as a teenager was that I didn't know how. That's how much pain I was in," he shared. Wil said claimed acting was "forced on" him by his mother and claimed he was emotionally abused by his father. A spokesperson for Wil's family told Access they were "shocked" by his allegations.
