Barrymore used drugs and Stewart dropped out of high school: how early film careers affected the lives of celebrities

The American movie Blue Lagoon was released 43 years ago. It is a story about two children who escaped from a sinking ship and began to live on an exotic island. The tape caused a lot of controversy because of the sexual content with Brooke Shields in the lead role. She was only 14 at that time. Now the movie star is 58! Does she still think explicit scenes as a child were okay?

Find out how early acting careers influenced the lives of Shields and other celebrities. How did their appearance change? Continue to read OBOZREVATEL material to find out.

Brooke Shields (58 years)

American supermodel and actress Brooke Shields in her youth starred in more than one scandalous movie, about one of which we wrote above. At the age of ten, she undressed for a photo shoot in Playboy. Beautiful Child, depicting a romance between an 11-year-old girl and an adult photographer enraged the viewers. The list of her immodest works can go on for a long time. In her youth, Brooke did not realize that she was exploited. She believed that the movie industry looked like this. Her mother also approved of the success of her daughter.

Shields grew up and continued shooting in films and building a successful modeling career. In March 2023, she accused her mother of forcing her to do nude movies in a documentary. "I don't know why she thought it was okay, that it was not in any way," Brooke says.

Drew Barrymore (48)

Since the Barrymore family played a prominent role in the theatrical life of the United States back in the XIX century, the fate of the future American movie star was largely decided from childhood. Drew Barrymore debuted in the movie Altered States at the age of 5 and in Steven Spielberg's movie Extra-Terrestrial at the age of 7. The role of Gertie brought the girl world fame.

Drew started to appear in school less and less as she was called to castings. She then dropped out. She further began to abuse illegal substances, which almost led to fatal consequences. Fortunately, she was able to overcome addiction. Now Barrymore combines shootings with the upbringing of two daughters.

Sirsha Ronan (29)

Irish and American actress Sirsha Ronan played episodic roles in famous TV series of the 2000s since childhood. However, her great popularity was achieved by starring in the movie Atonement. Sirsha was 12. After the premiere, she began to be invited to the movie platforms more actively. Consequently, the girl had to switch to homeschooling. Thus, she had time to engage in modeling and activism. All these efforts justified themselves: Sirsha was nominated for an Oscar four times. Not every actor of mature age can boast of such success.

Kristen Stewart (33)

American actress Kristen Stewart grew up in the family of Fox manager and television producer Jon Stewart and screenwriter Jules Stewart. She had not thought what she wanted to be for a long time. The first time the girl appeared on the screen at the age of 9. She starred in the tape The Thirteenth Year, and a few years later she was invited to play the role of Sarah Altman in the drama The Safety of Objects. Her classmates were not very happy with her success. They began to bully her and come up with nicknames. In the end, 13-year-old Kristen had to leave school and do homeschooling. She received the certificate only at the age of 19.
