Movie stars today are as greedy for additional kids as bankers are for bonuses. It's the new badge of authenticity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Growing up in Hollywood meant there were a lot of film stars' kids at my school - but no conspicuous wealth. It wasn't cool to show off that you had money.
All these child stars grow up and they're knockin' over banks and getting prostitutes. I'm, like, one of the only people I know that has managed to dodge all of that negative crap.
People say child stars have a hard time 'because of the entertainment business,' but I think there's a dysfunction before all that. I use the analogy, 'If you're a fool without money, you'll be a fool with money.'
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.
The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.
Not many child stars make it out of Hollywood alive or sane, and at any given time there are at least three former ones having very public breakdowns.
If you've got a huge Hollywood star in your film, they're getting $32 million, and everyone else gets their bus fare.
Being a child star is great. It's being a former child star that sucks.
The issue often with films is how it works with money and trying to get a visible movie star presence in the film.
It's nice that established and emerging stars agree to appear in ambitious low-budget films. Such pro-bono work gives the movie a higher profile and the actors a potentially more distinguished resume.
