fame wealth and complete madness are
just a few things that can affect who
you ultimately become why gives
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
reasons child stars go crazy when
teachers tell me walk but I really
rather hover in the gym first for this
list we’re focusing on specific reasons
why the Hollywood system seems to
contribute to the mental instability of
stars who gained fame as children we
look if you lose if you leave the
business or you’re not cute anymore or
you’re not you know the right for the
part and you start getting the rejection
it’s very painful number 10
poor career management in the digital
age of instant stardom creepy agents are
no longer scouring coffee shops in
search of the next big star they’re
lurking on social media and making
promises they cannot fulfill
we are not friends
if you’re going to be manipulated then
why not align yourself with a well-known
Hollywood agent you know someone who
legitimately wants to make you a star I
have hundreds of clients to deal with
and just so we’re clear I don’t care
about any of them and if he or she can
make a few dollars in the process so be
it
okay millions of dollars to be fair
there are plenty of respectable agents
in the entertainment industry but far
too many wannabes I was paying you a
compliment
number nine bad influences entourage
we’ve all heard the story sweet little
Susie John soft ooh the big city and
suddenly she’s smoking blunts at 10 a.m.
and drunk by noon why does this happen
the entourage you guys going that
Motorola party tonight oh no we can’t we
got Vince to come here tonight for busy
oh my gosh it’s right why aren’t we on
the list cuz you’re not hot enough the
concept was glorified on HBO’s hit
series but in reality there is a certain
crowd that likes to have influence on
aspiring stars or at least to be
associated with them these people
introduced child stars to the likes of
Jack Daniels and Mary Jane and it’s at
that moment when all bets are off
because anything can happen Holly
freshman safe with a bottle and Jake is
gonna leave for the night ain’t coming
back number 8
lack of childhood you seen my child
Michael Jackson said it best have you
seen my childhood and the answer is no
MJ nobody saw your childhood because it
didn’t really exist
when you’re raised to be a star
the smaller joys of life’s such as
camping trips and summer shenanigans
always take a backseat to practice
we’ll do it tomorrow says mom or dad and
of course that day never comes
some child stars live with the perpetual
agony of knowing that simple dreams will
never be realized in order to reach a
more complex one and when that child
does become a star he or she regresses
into the past rather than looking
towards the future we swagger red no
this is just a little kid
well we watch as a cool spot to finish
you know you if I ever remembered it
number seven sexually exploited I can
tell you that the number one problem in
Hollywood was and is and always will be
pedophilia that’s the biggest problem
for children in this industry
unfortunately this has long been a dark
Hollywood issue that keeps victims
silent for years whether it’s a
world-renowned performer or a slimy
executive child stars often fall under
the influence of power and become
sexually objectified I think Hollywood
in particular has has a real problem
that no one has talked about they
covered it up for a long time and it’s
just now coming to life
some actively lend their bodies with
hopes of earning that breakthrough role
while others are simply taken advantage
of at a young age I developed a problem
with drinking and to numb that pain for
years regardless the attempts to block
out the painful memories naturally
become too much to handle either during
childhood itself or at an older age he
made me feel like I have to do that in
order to get any job he was just saying
this was common in the industry
number six fame came too fast just 14
years old in 1986 Corey Haim was already
a star playing the title role in the
film Lucas when it comes to being a
celebrity even the strongest upbringing
can never prepare one for international
fame it’s just not possible if I was
your boyfriend never let you go
the attention of admiring fans may seem
appealing but child stars often become
overwhelmed with the evolution of their
surroundings why well because their
children and have not been allowed to
form their own life perspectives instead
their reality is created by their fame
and when one realizes that life isn’t
all about public admiration it can be a
major blow to the senses 19 year old
child star of Everybody Loves Raymond
swear sweeten is dead of an apparent
suicide number 5 drugs and alcohol fresh
out of three months of rehab the star is
now opening up to Oprah talking about
being an alcoholic for addiction to
adderall and going to jail in 2010 as
noted in our number 9 entry the
entourage is of child stars can have a
devastating effect on their personal
lives but drugs and alcohol always serve
as the larger threat so there’s Amanda
Bynes walking into a liquor store to
wash gasoline off her dog minutes after
the gasoline accidentally splashed on
the dog while amanda was building a fire
in the driveway of the home of this
elderly woman for no apparent reason
it’s no secret that Hollywood stars have
been known to consume cocaine like an
appetizer and self-medicate with a
steady amount of booze and as you start
to use you feel that that void in your
life and I think that is why so many
child actors turn to drugs and alcohol
addiction never seems to be a problem
when the body continues to function but
there’s always that moment when just a
little more is needed and while public
break downs make for entertaining
YouTube videos sometimes child stars
don’t return from their seemingly
temporary escapes 23 year old Phoenix
collapsed outside a Hollywood nightclub
the cause of death is under
investigation
number 4 Fame going to their heads when
the seagulls
follow the trawler it is because they
think sardines will be thrown into the
sea thank you very much okay here’s some
breaking news Fame may cause a blurred
sense of reality of course it can also
make someone cocky as hell are you aware
the Scooter Braun knows that your
bodyguards have attacked photographers
what ejection to form what kind of
question is that didn’t make sense and
why wouldn’t someone appear confident
when they have the looks the money and
the ability to travel anywhere in the
world it’s the coolest Nakula sister
smoothest and the smooth assistant crew
listen devoted to stupid kids well in
most cases there always comes a day when
a child star realizes that nobody likes
an arrogant asshole young entertainers
may become famous by playing magnificent
bastards but they don’t understand that
such a persona doesn’t effectively
translate to real life you know what I
don’t like your attitude to be quite
honest you’re right because you don’t
want you’re too young to be smoking pot
and ain’t no pay paying and buckets and
drive it up in the gather of the highway
fast
number three parents
if you’re a parent that boasts about
taking care of your child well then
you’re probably not doing enough because
you’re supposed to take care of your kid
if she has to do something she does it
some Hollywood parents like to project
their failed dreams on to their children
and a few troubled souls view their
children’s talents as nothing more than
a cash machine that’s the thing like
their conclusion all of my money and
that’s why I don’t have much money right
now like as child stars land that
big-time role it’s only natural for mom
and or dad to take control of the bank
account and save a few bucks for college
you know who you are and you’re making
your kid crazy
number two wanting to get rid of their
former image
when you grow up as a teenybopper angel
forced to wear a perma-grin it’s only a
matter of years until you say eff this
seriously it only makes sense
as one grows into a young man or woman
it’s never easy especially when not only
your parents get on your nerves but the
entire world does
child stars forever become associated
with their on-screen identities and the
only way to shatter such an image is to
aggressively resist innocence itself to
a goddamn thing they say
that’s when the entourage steps in to
lend assistance with a plate of goodies
to choose from and that’s when a child
star goes batshit crazy I came in
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions you’re
about to be on this big wave that’s
going to be that’s you’re going to take
a big ride on this amazing way but
that’s going to be fun but know that in
life as in surf the wave crashes
inevitably and you take a tumble and you
fall and you have to decide whether you
want to go back out and surf as Linds
girl gave her personal assistant to boot
because she lacked the funds to continue
to pay him number one pressure the
toughest part for me was having to carry
the whole show by myself hey life is
hard and even the most privileged of
child stars feels pressure success
depends upon public reaction and one
must put on an endless show in order to
maintain the Hollywood lifestyle the
point where I was on the side of the
stage like hyperventilating and the
stage manager was like okay you’re ready
to go I’m like I can’t do this I can’t
you don’t so what happens when your
latest flick bombs at the box office
well the phone stops ringing and the
criticism begins I’ve obviously been so
many Disney stars who came before you
who went on to do amazing things with
their careers motoring what are your
hopes for where this takes you oh well I
definitely want to get back into like
the future film route a little bit like
after the show and everything naturally
it’s never easy to accept social
disapproval especially when you don’t
entirely understand the concept
I had extensions and was like always
feeling I had to be in high heels and my
makeup done you’re just a kid and you’re
doing what you love to do or at least
that’s what you thought the lucky ones
managed to maintain a normal life and a
successful career but far too many
succumb to the pressure of being a child
star almost every time for me is a
nerve-wracking time for me because I
will find the pressure in every
situation and think about it do you

child stars go crazy we work from noon
to midnight and that’s just not supposed
to happen for more mind-blowing top 10s
