How child actors drink themselves to death in Hollywood
Drew Barrymore was saved by the clinic, and Daniel Radcliffe was saved by love
After the premiere of Steven SPIELBERG's E.T., six-year-old Drew BARRYMORE became incredibly famous. She was torn apart by journalists, her every step was instantly reflected on the front pages of newspapers and magazines. The girl and her actor parents jumped with happiness.
Only Spielberg watched what was happening very warily:
- All this is not at all for a little girl!
And he turned out to be right - early fame almost killed Drew. Years later, she wrote an extremely frank autobiography, called “Lost Little Girl,” where she said:
“When I was ten and a half years old, I was once riding in the back seat of a car driven by my mother’s friend. Mom started smoking weed. I had been wanting to try marijuana for a long time, but I was afraid that if I asked her, she would say, “No, Drew, you’re still too young.” But then she herself said: “Come on, try it, little girls shouldn’t be afraid of anything.”

After the success of E.T., I was dragged to parties and bohemian functions.
Adult uncles and aunts were touched by the miracle child. At one party, someone gave me a glass of champagne. Liked. I asked for more. Then - again. Who could refuse such a cute girl?! When I tried cocaine for the first time, at the age of 13, I was no longer afraid. I just had a really bad headache, but I didn’t care what anyone thought about me.
By this time I was getting drunk almost every day. After the first shot of tequila, dinner was usually followed by a glass of beer and a couple of glasses of wine.
I spent my nights mostly in nightclubs. There she danced on tables, flirted with older men, and then, coming home and locked herself in the bathroom, she inhaled another couple of lines of coca.

People very quickly forgot that I was Gertie in E.T. They just knew that I was the youngest alcoholic in Hollywood.
One could say about me: “Look and raise your daughter exactly the opposite.” Saved by Spielberg's longtime friend, singer David Crosby . One day he saw me in a disgraceful state and took me to the clinic. There I realized that such a life would not lead to good, I want to get married, have children, play with my grandchildren.
Before this, I thought I was so cool and free. But look at River Phoenix (the actor began acting at 10 and died of an overdose at 23 on the threshold of Johnny Depp , where he was at a party. - Ed. ). He was always sad because he never felt at home anywhere. All this happens because you begin to perceive life as one giant party. While in reality your life is a complete zero.

I tried to take my own life more than once when I realized this.
But now I am sure: life is given not in order to die, but in order to live! Now 39-year-old Drew has many film offers. She is married and has two daughters, the youngest of whom she gave birth to last spring. And now the actress confidently declares:
— The main thing in life is family and spiritual harmony.
Matters of the heart of Harry Potter
25-year-old Daniel Radcliffe's is currently estimated at more than £40 million. He managed to earn this money over a nine-year film career. It is clear that the lion's share of these funds was made from Harry Potter. Of course, with that kind of money he's among the most eligible bachelors. And even dyspraxia is not a hindrance - Dan cannot tie his shoelaces. And the alcohol addiction he suffered from several years ago. My heart has been acting up lately and my blood pressure has been going up. In a word, it doesn’t seem like a gift, but young ladies fall for it in vain.
Two years ago he dated assistant director Rosie Cocker , now with actress Eric Dark . But Radcliffe's friends are sure that this relationship will not last long:
- He is an addicted person. He treats girls like beautiful pictures in a photo album: you can admire them for hours, but after a while you want to turn the page to find out what else is there.

Twilight love
Kristen Stewart is another shining example of how not all child actors end badly. She has more than enough roles, and in the highest-grossing films. But in my personal life, not everything is so rosy. For five years she dated actor Michael Angarano (a boy in films since he was 10), whom she met on the set of the film “Speak.” And then she fell head over heels for Robert Pattinson , starting to play love with him in the Twilight saga. After four years of unbridled passion, she suddenly switched to director Rupert Sanders , for whom she shone in the fantasy movie “Snow White and the Huntsman.” The new gentleman won over with his experience and beautiful courtship - and that’s understandable, he’s almost twice as old!
Out of grief, Pattinson sold the house where he was going to build a family nest with Christie. And he started looking at other girls. Then Robert and Kristen seemed to make peace and started thinking about getting married. And now it’s twilight again... Stewart ambiguously states in an interview that at 27 years old she is infinitely lonely, and Robert is increasingly seen in the company of British singer Talia Barnett .

We have prepared for you a photo selection of children of famous parents who have been targets of the paparazzi since birth.
Our list opens with Jaden Smith , one of the most famous children of famous parents. Jaden was barely 18, but he had already tried himself as a dancer, actor and rap artist. The film debut of the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith was the famous film “The Pursuit of Happyness,” which tells about the attempt of an ordinary American merchant to provide his son with a better life. Now Jaden has several more successful films and a joint song with Justin Bieber.

Emma Roberts , Jennifer Aniston's co-star in We're the Millers, is firmly established in show business. But not everyone knows about her star dad, Eric Roberts.

26-year-old Dakota Johnson probably appeared in the acclaimed film “50 Shades of Gray” for a reason. This assumption is suggested by the thought of her star parents - American actor and singer Don Johnson and American actress Melanie Griffith. After her parents’ divorce, Dakota got an equally famous stepfather, Antonio Banderas.

Melanie Griffith once admitted that she decided to watch “50 Shades of Gray” only a year after the film’s release, and then only halfway through. Further, under the pressure of love scenes, the mother could not stand it and never watched the picture to the end.

The beautiful Liv Tyler , who starred in such films as “Armageddon” with Bruce Willis and “The Lord of the Rings,” boasts an equally stellar father. For a long time, the girl did not know that her real father was the leader of the rock group Aerosmith, Steven Tyler. She guessed about the star relationship only after she discovered her incredible resemblance to the singer’s daughter Mia.
