Top 4 Actors Who Suffered Because They Became Famous Too Early

Famous

Stars are always getting into conflict. Some, like Michael Jordan, are due to betting at 22Bet, others because of their mental health problems. And there are many celebrities who suffer from problems because they started acting too early.

Lindsay Lohan 

Scandalous Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has experienced all the joys and sorrows of life. The girl has been repeatedly imprisoned, suffered from drug and alcohol addictions, and behaved extravagantly in public. Who would have thought that the reason for the behavior was a career in big cinema, which began with the movie The Parent Trap. In this family comedy, Lindsay played two roles at once, herself and her twin sister, which was a serious challenge because, despite the enthusiasm, the girl experienced constant fatigue. After the resounding success of the film Lindsay’s mother became her manager and insisted that her daughter work even harder. It was this inhumane schedule that led to the mental and physical health problems that Lindsay is still dealing with.

Macaulay Culkin

The blond boy with the angelic smile appears on our screens during the winter holidays. Thanks to his role as Kevin McCallister in the Christmas comedy “Home Alone,” Macaulay Culkin made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid child in the country. At 16, intoxicated by his resounding success, he moved out from his parents and set out to “explore” the benefits of celebrity life. The actor did not want to star and disappeared from the media spotlight until he was arrested in 2004 for possession of illegal substances. There are versions that Culkin suffers from anorexia and addiction to energy drinks on the background of depression caused by his own lack of demand. And even though he won’t admit it publicly, he probably thinks that Kevin’s role has blown his entire future.

Mara Wilson

You probably recognize this little, incredibly cute girl who was one of the most popular actresses in her day. Mara Wilson is best known for the movie Matilda, where she played a child prodigy with telepathic powers. After performing a few more episodic roles, the girl disappeared from the screens and went back to school. Time passed, and directors didn’t want to accept the fact that Mara had matured, and her childish cuteness vanished without a trace. The girl admitted that the attitude to her new appearance was bad: she heard a lot of nasty things in his address, until in 2000, she decided to retire from acting.

Jake Lloyd

The role of Anakin Skywalker brought 10-year-old actor Jake Lloyd not only worldwide fame, but also many problems that the child could not cope with. He got into the image perfectly, and everyone was happy, except for the fans, who after the release of the picture began to harass and threaten the boy in every way. 

In June 2015, after a car accident in which Jake was involved, his mother admitted that her son had schizophrenia and that when he stopped taking his medication, he became inadequate and out of control. Lloyd spent several months in jail, his diagnosis confirmed, and the man was transferred to a psychiatric hospital.
