10 Movie Characters And Their Real Life Inspirations

Hello and welcome to Child Stars Who Lost There Minds. My name is Michael. To make it on this list at least a couple of occasions the child stars had to so something slightly embarrassing in public or ran into countless legal issue. This is not a video shaming these men and women, but to shine a light on this dark side of growing out of childhood in a city built on lost dreams.

1. Macaulay Culkin. The kid in Home Alone as many 90s and noughty kid my already know has shun away from the acting light since then. His delivery comedically was brilliant and for it the first two Home Alone movies they are now the Christmas movie a two generations. But after a slew of drug rumors and a depressing picture of him in tabloids it seems growing in and around the industry, and infamously sleeping a bed with Michael Jackson, has had a unmistakable toll on Culkin. This recent video seems like he has a sense of humor. Good luck with whatever you do Culkin.
2. Corey Haim is probably the more sadder end of the spectrum for child stars. Like Culkin Michael Jackson made friends with Corey and his career rival Corey Feldman. For it he had the same loose grip on who to trust and his career went downward when he no longer had the youthful look. On March 10, 2010 in Burbank California; Haim’s prescription drugs eventually ended his life, he was found by his mother who had breast cancer at the time. What you hear is the 911 call. He died later at the hospital from drug induced pneumonia. He was driving towards a clean living before, but his addiction to pain killing medication was too much.
3. River Phoenix is another tragic child star who was the most promising on this list to have a talented career before he died. He was a magician and actor; most well known for his role in Stand By Me. In the Early hours of October 31, 1993, Phoenix collapsed outside a nightclub in Los Angeles in front of his brother Joaquin and sister Rain. The coroner found deadly levels of cocaine and morphine in his system. He was only 23 years old.
4. Drew Barrymore although a healthy mother and wife now, with some film roles like Adam Sandlers Blended (urgh) Drew Barrymore was once in a vortex of disillusion. The public outcome of this is the interview with David Letterman. She started out as the sister in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. When she grew up she was able to maintain film roles like one of the angels in Charlie’s Angels and, well, that was about it…. I kidding. But in the middle of the transition from child star to movie star she flashes David Letterman on TV in an interview that has to be fueled by something other than her personality.
5. Amanda Bynes was a former Television and movie actress who has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She also accuses her father of sexual abuse on Twitter and was arrested for a second DUI in 2014, Shortly after the tweet, Bynes admitted her father had not in fact, molested her -- but that he had planted a microchip in her head that forced her the accusations.
6. Corey Feldman was the epitome of 80s stars. He too was a child star who was destroyed by the relationship he had with Michael Jackson,, and is now outspoken about the dark side of growing up in Hollywood and how his parents squandered his earning that was estimated over a million. But when he turned sixteen he found all that was left was something over $20,000.
7. Miley Cyrus is the best example of a child star who just lose it completely. The Disney child star who was famous for her father's one hit wonder singing career. But her career would a dual identity character who has to pretend to be a normal girl, while underneath is a stage singing star. Since departing the Disney good girl look with liberation she had been from adorable to plain weird with her bizarre public appearance and new look that if anything is one of the best moves to increase her singing career’s sales. As they have skyrocketed since her new persona has taken over the light.
