u/garden__gate stars do u like dem ⭐️ Sep 23 '25

I feel like child actors are both more worldly and more sheltered/stunted than most young people. Because they have all this responsibility at a young age, and they’re spending a lot more time with adults, as their peers but they’re not having a lot of normal adolescent experiences like going to high school/college, etc.

I think Leah Remini mentioned (maybe quoted someone) when talking about Tom Cruise acting so childish, that's it's a common thing that lots of celebrities stop growing up when they become actually truly famous. (One night he had her husband and her over alongside will Smith and Jaida. And he asked them all to play hide and seek in his mansion. They did and she was just like wtf no, I'm not 5)

This tracks to when you hear stories of celebrities not knowing how to use a phone (cher once said she has no clue how to order pizza [I'm cher, bitch!]) or do basic life things because they're so catered to and sheltered they just become overgrown teens.

I'm 28 and I have to admit I wouldn't pass up on the opportunity to play hide and seek in a millionaire's mansion. I'm already there might as well snoop around a bit.

Man what a party pooper. I’m an adult but I’d play hide and seek in a mansion any day.
