Parents Pushing Older

[Blind Gossip] This underage girl is one of the stars of an ensemble TV show. Yes, she was at the Golden Globe Awards.

Was talking to a couple of other agents who are shocked at how old she looks. They said usually the kids are in a hurry to grow up, but in this case it’s the parents who want her to look/act/dress much older than she is. They want the bigger paychecks that they think will come from being cast as an adult film lead.

Good strategy? Not from an agent’s perspective.

We prefer talented actors who read younger on screen. More longevity and flexibility with their career. Also don’t like it when parents are dependent on the child’s income. It makes for bad decisions.

  4. I would think Millie B Brown, but the red hair is making me think maybe the girl that played Max?

  5. Millie Bobbie Brown
    Notice how they are even distancing her from the other castmates. They sit at the same table, but that’s it. Maybe she has different PR reps ?

  6. Milly Bobby Brown

    No I don’t think they do, many don’t. They want the kid’s income.

    Optional: She’s their meal ticket. They have their own interests at heart. See also, Lindsay Lohan.

  8. Actress: Millie Bobby Brown

    [Optional] Do you think her parents have her best interests at heart? From everything I’ve heard/read…no, not at all.

  9. Millie Bobby Brown. She’s so beautiful its a pity they dress her as an edgy 20-something because she seems smart and talented anyway she doesn’t need the pretences.

  19. Millie Bobby Brown?
    I was shocked at how grown-up she looked – it seems abnormal to me that a 13 yo wears that sort of dress and is that heavily made up. It’s not like women need more objectification, or need it younger…

  21. Milli Bobby Brown
    Poor girl, she’ll end up like Ariel Winter or Bella Thorne if the parents aren’t careful

  22. Millie Bobbie Brown (Eleven). I would not allow my own 13-year-old to go out dressed the way she does. Sadly, she will become another tale of woe in 10 or so years. Her parents are in it for the $$, just like so many other parents are.

  24. Millie Bobby Brown

    I think so, but they are over doing it. A previous blind about her stated her father asking a waiter if he or she doesn’t recognise his daughter, then asking to eat for free.
    He may destroy her career.
