Life in Hollywood ain’t always as glamorous as it may appear… especially when you’re growing up as a child actor. The sad stories we’ve heard about people experiencing abuse, addiction and depression after beginning their lives being scrutinized in the public eye is far too common. Child actors often grow up to become the punchline of a joke in poor taste or a number on a “where they are now” list somewhere on the internet. In this episode, we hope to shed a little light on what it’s really like to be the human being at the source of these mockeries and how we’ve found peace in our lives after the limelight fades.   www.Sakara.com/UNZIPPED for 20% off your first order And listen to Armchair Expert for free, now ONLY on Spotify   Produced by Dear Media
