Noah Schnapp Thinks Child Actors Need Therapy: “This Is An Abnormal Life”

16 comments

1. Most kids could benefit from therapy, but I’m sure child actors definitely would. But responsible parenting/guardianship is the most important piece of the puzzle here

2. He’s right.

   But also with everything going on I’m kind of sick of celebrities talking about their struggles – sorry.

   Especially seeing how many of em either cower away when they could use their voice or literally stand up and applaud when facism is in the room (look at u stallone)

3. Yeah, putting a kid in the limelight at a young age in a famous movie/tv show with all the attention. Then the kid grows up and no one cares amymore about the part he used to play brcause the world moved on. It’s tough enough on an adult.

   That must be brutal for a kid.

4. I think all child work should be against the law, and i personally dont understand why it isnt.

5. For sure, Demi Lovato, Jeannette McCurdy, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Amanda Bynes, etc are prime examples and have been very vocal about what they have faced.

6. Someone tell him he doesn’t have to be an actor

7. I thought this was a widely held opinion already

9. throwing all those intense fake emotions around constantly before your brain is fully developed prob isnt great

10. That bowl haircut is gonna take a while to unpack.

11. Yeah… its child abuse to make kids famous and wealthy at young ages.

12. Everybody knows this. We also know he’s a POS.

13. Not all child actors have to give a thumbs up to genocide.

14. Everyone needs therapy, kid. This is an abnormal world, filled with abnormal people and events — For everyone. At least you have copious amounts of money and are union for your troubles.

15. Very true. Otherwise they might start shilling for a genocidal apartheid ethnostate and celebrate the murders of civilians.

16. I’m imagining a child actors union that fights for equality and safe treatment of child actors. Beyond therapy, they need a robust support system, and need to be protected from predatory interests. The outcome of this will be less glitzy and glamorous television shows and movies, but who cares about that anyways. American exceptionalism is overrated.
