There should be a round table of child actors, I feel that is a conversations that needs to happen.
Absolutely
Yes
Let’s make this a viral request thing haha so that they do it . 🙏🏻 needed indeed
Get them all wasted, then bring up those sick perverts they dealt with and then with their guard down, hear what they truely have to say. To many claims not to be heard.
Definitely. I recommend everyone concerned about this to check out Alyson Stoner's (for er disney star too) recent essay for People mag about the need to regulate and protect children in the entertainment industry. She is trying to take action around this issue.
Alyson stoner is literally working on a project about child stars and the psychological trauma behind being one.
Idk if she’s in touch with Demi but considering they were on Camp Rock together, I’d love to see Demi in Alyson’s project!
She is? Wow I need to see it.
yeah... not just a project, but is pushing for actual policy changes in the industry and in state law. it's past due for sure
boooost thiiis! drew should back this as well
@@RSyed-tu4rn 👍🏾
The whole "I pay the bills" thing never really occured to me when thinking about child stars. It really does change the dynamic and parents have to be wary of that and know how to handle it to still raise their kids the best way possible.
That is such an excellent point that Demi made. I have never really though about it like that. Good Point Demi!!
Totally agreed! Never thought of it EITHER!
If your child is paying your bills you’re home is already broken. You should be able to provide for your child and not depend on them for finances.
@@cspan1993 I agree but I do wonder if I've been a little closed minded on that point previously. While I dont think children should have that responsibility and absolutely should not be exploited, if they come from a background that isn't priviledged enough to have 2 parents and stable finances, if you choose to support your child in their dreams at that age then the parent may well have to sacrifice their own job to be able to take the child everywhere they need and supervise etc. Obviously, using their earnings is very unideal but if they have sacrifice other sources of income to support them then the line gets a little blurred regarding the child's earnings paying the bare minimum needed to continue supporting them/siblings only. But the child would absolutely need to understand the situation and make that choice themselves.
There's obviously the bigger question prompted of should parents as the responsible guidance (in theory) allow their children into child stardom when we've seen how damaging it is but disregarding that question for now - is it too priviledged to assume that parents should be able to still finance their lives, if they have to give up their own full time jobs to support their children..? If its unacceptable as a blanket rule then its yet another difference that makes it even harder to be successful if not from a wealthy family...
I think its perhaps not as simple as we'd like it to be.
ROSS Tamblyn worked in the industry as well. Yet his daughter made all the money.
The biggest mistake is the parents using their child's money, it reverses the roles of who is responsible
Exactly
Agreed. All the child’s money needs to be put away, and parents should carry on as normal.
Yea jenette mccurdy said she literally paid the bills in her house. So sad
There is no one who understands this more then Drew, what childstars go thru or been thru
We have some talented kids in my family. We can't go with greed or their dreams. We have to wait until they r full adults to get into that world. It's not normal. We don't party or do fun things, but that will be what they view as 'normal'.
Totally
Yes
No one who is still alive anyway. Judy Garland is another one who had it really bad growing up in the spotlight. Unfortunately she died in 1969 but I feel like if she was still around today, she could've been a huge advocate for speaking for Hollywood childhood trauma. Shirley Temple is another one, Michael Jackson, so many people. Hollywood is such a toxic environment especially for young child stars.
@@BeeKee404
In 1 word..iluminatis 😈
They made a contract.×
Fame & Fortune..later pay the price
Drew should definitely get Alyson Stoner as a guest after her recent video about child stardom
YES! Idk if she’s in touch with Demi but considering they were on Camp Rock together, I’d love to see Demi in Alyson’s project!
Yes!!
totes
Agreed!!!
Yes please!
It isn’t just celebrities. I can’t stand when adults diminish children’s stress and emotions because they aren’t a certain age
These two should open a talent agency just for child stars...with in-house support systems and services addressing the things they needed but people didn't have. They know how to protects future child stars from their mistakes.
That's actually an excellent idea.
This is a fabulous idea!! 🙌💯
What a stellar idea!
i agree, great idea. Someone needs to help the new kids navigate life there. And help them and protect them the best they can.
most importantly: waaaay stricter boundaries on how much they can work
I love how drew just listens and doesn't interrupt unlike other hosts🙃
Sometimes hosts need to interrupt to direct the interview and keep track of timing.
She’s a natural host
Cough Kelly Clarkson Cough..
That’s why I can’t watch Jimmy Fallon’s show. His fake laughter immediately puts me in a bad mood lol
Did u mean not like kelly Clarkson? I can't stand her
Drew is just the best kind of human. I have always loved her.
@r0bz _ meh not it
Me too
@r0bz _ you re really obsessed 🤩 with demi 🤩
@r0bz _ No you
Since ET
I screamed when drew said “girl to girl and woman to woman”😭 demi was prob going crazy
Omg i thought this too😭
Drew got caught up in the moment but I'm sure she is familiar with Demi's gender pronouns
You children get offended over everything.
@@xx7670 I'm not a child, hun. Respecting someone's pronoun is just good manners.
pretty sure this interview aired before demi came out as non binary so drew probably wasn’t aware
Please invite Alyson Stoner to talk about this issue as well! Not only that she's been very honest about her own personal journey as a child actress, but she also talks about the possible solutions how to change the system so it's beneficial for all included parties!
I like how Drew establishes and affirms a safe space for anyone she interviews and that she asks questions to open a mindful dialogue instead of trying to pry things out of her guests. Every time I see these clips i think of 2 human beings speaking to each other. Not 2 celebrities. If that makes sense.
Makes perfect sense 💯
Have you watched her interview with Paris Hilton?
So refreshing in comparison to Oprah Winfrey's old talk show.
@@dulcemaberson916 oooh no. I didn’t know that she had done an interview with Paris. I’ll see if I can find it on here. That must be a good episode 👌
That makes perfect sense. I've always thought of celebrities as just regular people like us and whatever they're known for is just what they do for a living.
Glad she mentioned the Chris Harrison clip. It made me so mad. It's so unfair to assume someone's life is all rosy just because they're young. Some people go through more by the time they're 16 than others do in decades.
I went through more by age 12 than adults around me had in their lifetimes at that point. I agree completely, no one should assume that youth means you haven't had life hit you hard.
exactly!!! that comment of his made no sense. what if she's 16?
@Jesus Gonzalez you don't look so good yourself
Regarding what that commenter said. I'm an adult in my 30s, and the biggest heart break I ever experienced in my life was in my teens. Still recovering from deep wounds from that time period. So yes, you can indeed suffer greatly as a young adolescent, of course. Never underestimate what a young person, or any person says about their emotional pain. You have no idea what they've gone through.
@@GardenMinistry. exactly
I love it when Drew interviews child stars, because she understands what happened to them better than anyone else
Drew is such a good person to interview vulnerable guests. She’s great.
“It’s never too late to set a boundary with the world” ❤️ thank you Demi. I needed that
@Jesus Gonzalez you're obsessed. Get a life
@Jesus Gonzalez seriously, go to therapy man. There’s someone that can help you. You’ll feel a lot better and have more free time for happiness and positivity in your life. You can do it.
Yes related to Boundaries so pertinent anytime but now and always. Such Validation for me. Drew.♥️🦘🇦🇺
you look up to a complete train wreck?
I love drew for being so supportive of Demi.
Me too
Yeah, for sure ❤️
She's doing it for ratings, just like oprah
Demi is so manipulative. Lost cause. Still parties like an animal and hangs around people with drugs. Doesn't seem promising.
@@milicadjordjevic4498 Oh wow, you know her personally?
I love seeing these two different generations comes together. She can learn so much from Drew, cause she lived it. I'm glad they're both able to have this discussion.
when she said: “girl to girl, woman to woman” .... awks LOL
I thought that 😬😬
I love Drews mothering, letting her know its a safe space, reassuring her she understands and complimenting her...it was very comfortable to watch the respect for each other...
Yes. Goosebumps.
But after demi says she hasnt told everything and that's for her and her treatment team Drew said I love it! Thats sexy, mysterious.. No thats trauma.
Yes that made me emotional
After everything drew has been through I’m amazed what a beautiful human she remains inside and out
She is literally a ray of sunshine 🌞
I think she was always been that Bubbly and Nice but Hollywood is all about taking advantage and her parents seems be also but yet i. Don't know their side of the story
It's why she is. She has seen and felt the pain and darkness
@@poisonivymathers Drew's parents were terrible. Read her latest book.
@@patrickm8894 definitely!! Can pay for the best therapists 😝
"It's never too late to set a boundary with the world" Demi.. 💗 I learned that this year at 31yo. And its amazing how good it feels , it's never too late
Drew you’re amazing. So refreshing to have a real, genuine, talk show host in our world again.
That wasn’t a interview, that was deep emphatic conversation between friends that have gone through the same stuff at a younger age ❤️
I appreciate that Drew lets Demi talk. My biggest pet peeve watching other talk show hosts like Rachael Ray and Oprah they talk over the guests and never let them talk!! Drew doesnt do this and i love that so much.
Have you seen the one with Paris Hilton
You know what is more difficult than being depressed and being a celebrity, being depressed and having actual problems(money problems)
Drew is like that one favorite aunt that provides a safe space and has a lot in common with you
Drew I love the way you defend her and ask her the question without make her uncomfortable to answer and I also so glad Demi know when she have to put her foot down and boundaries and decided I don’t going to answer anymore questions, is really noticeable Demi is in a good place now in her life , she looks happy, beautiful,confident,healthy, smart and super talented of course. Thanks Drew for this interview with Demi Lavato 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
@Jesus Gonzalez there is nothing wrong with her body
@Jesus Gonzalez hahahaha, damn! Get a life dude.
Don't worry Demi is never uncomfortable answering any questions. She yearns to be the center of the universe, she wants y'all to know all about her. Did you forget? She's speaking her "truth"...again...but it changes with the trends
Love how Drew’s show has so many fun and great interviews on her show. 👏🏼👏🏼❤️
I just found out about her channel too I just sub her
@Jesus Gonzalez I like that you’ve commented this like 17 times... get a life you ugly loser.
@@Mackenzie-Ann - well said 👏🏼👏🏼
Wow,how long has Drew had her talk show, anyone tell me...I like Drew
“That’s for me and my treatment team.” I love that
This feels more like a conversation than an interview which is great. So real
i love how clean this Drew's project is. Two women having some real talk conversation and that's it, right? how honest!
@@chloexo3503 I think this was before they came out as non-binary
@@chloegilchrist6662 hello fellow Chloe! Ahh okay, that makes sense. I hope it was!
I love how comfortable the interview was because of how they can relate to one another after having been through so many similar struggles together and they're just here today, more stunning than ever 😍
I love how Drew conducted the interviews. All of her guests feel comfortable. That's one of her best qualities 💕
"It's never too late to set boundaries with the world" that was powerful
I adore the way Drew connects with her guests in a way where it’s as if friends were to go for coffee, or catch up on a couch and just chat about life. I love the genuine energy.
I Love the energy between these two, beautiful, stong and amazing women, just love it.
@r0bz _ she’s more beautiful than you
@Rebel E. get a life
@Rebel E. this was before they came out as no binary, they didn’t correct Drew so it would only need to change the pronouns after they came out as non binary
@Rebel E. Lol 😆 😆 SHE is still a girl!!!!! DNA and chromosomes can't be changed. Check HER chromsomes and they will be XX....meaning she is A GIRL!!!! FOREVER! BORN THAT WAY. you can't change that!!!!! Science!!!
@@annadickinson4560 Girl, get a life and let others live theirs, is your life really so boring?
THIS is how an interview like this should go; Drew's presence with Demi is so amazing and comforting, and it is beautiful to see!
I honestly love Drew Barrymore so much. It’s so interesting to see two child actresses from totally different walks of life discussing such similarities in their journeys.
This was a great interview. As someone with CPTSD I had heartbreak before 16 and before a serious relationship and wtf judges anyone else’s experiences just baffles me. Love both of them ❤️
I feel for you. I had a difficult heartbreak at 15 and no tools to deal with it. Now 30, I’m still suffering the consequences. Stay strong.
Demi’s long hair is gorgeous but short hair is definitely a look, her bone structure is perfect
@r0bz _ Hmm.. I don’t see any fat..
@r0bz _ or you try opening yours, idiot.
@r0bz _ troll 🙄
@r0bz _ shut your freaking mouth, stupid !
@r0bz _ aww thank you! I am a fatass and proud! 💕🥺
Can’t wait for the Britney-Oprah interview and the Britney-Drew interview. Putting it out into the universe.
I think Britney would be better with Drew. Oprah is sometimes intrusive without being compassionate. Also, let's just let Britney be. She does not owe anyone any more of herself.
Oprah is a horrible, self serving, hypocritical straw-man argument-using swine.
Yes baby, manifest your reality 🙌🙌🙌
One hour special. Britney will have so much to say
Please, Oprah is awful :/ and she had some truly offensive questions.
This convo just shows that age isnt measured in years and decades, but in experience and wisdom. These people might have been on the planet for as long as I have by the time they were child stars, but they were significantly older than I could ever be, and the fact that they’re having that conversation in a space as honest as Drew’s show proves it.
I wasn't a child star growing up (although I was successful in community theater), but my mother leaned on me emotionally growing up. So I too ended up feeling more comfortable around adults than children my own age.
May Demi continue her healing process.
@r0bz _ you know she’s not able to right.
@r0bz _ yes I know. She’s taking this one shot which stops the nervous system or something from her being able to get high.
Amen
I just hope she doesn't Overdose again. Honestly, the best thing she can do is get away from Hollywood. She's talented, but the industry is ruining her.
@r0bz _ She uses Marijuana, get over it.
First off....parents shouldn't be letting their kids pay the bills. Child actor or not.
My thought exactly.. but give a teenager so much money where they can buy a house and legally can emancipate as a adult or move out like drew said
Bc i dont know the agreement was with rhe parents but that is the problem money and freedom
Sometimes the parents give up their careers or jobs to chaperone their actor kids, or they work as the manager and take a salary. You also wouldn't want unchaperoned kids as we've seen. It is very hard for some families.
Agreed. It changes the dynamic of the parent child relationship
Exactly
It creates an unbalanced dynamic.
When Demi says that she always got along better with adults than with kids... I'm thinking... OH MY GOSH!! ME TOO!!!😱😱
“It’s never too late to set a boundary with the world.” Thank you, I needed to hear that today.
I enjoy how a lot of what Drew says is spoken as more of a statement for Demi to piggyback off of.
It didn't ever put her on the spot to answer, like Drew validated her position before she even spoke from a place of empathy
I didn't know Drew had a talk show, that's awesome
Me too. Hahah
🤦🏻♂️
Me either, I love it!
She needs a better marketing team
Same here. I've watched many interviews since I discovered her show. Amazing talks
Drew has such a calm presence 🙌🏼
I LOVE DEMI LAVTO. She's gone through so much, but she's using her challenges to uplift and educate us. I have so much respect for her courage. GOD BLESS HER ALWAYS!!!!
Drew is such a beautiful soul. It is so amazing how she can speak about this subject having experienced it all, so she can share her experiences yet she still keep the focus on Demi to not take away from her own experiences. Someone said a round table with child stars would be amazing and I agree. I love if they could do it in private because it would be very therapeutic for them too to be in a safe space where they can share their struggles.
I’m so glad this interview happened. I wanted Demi Lovato and Drew Barrymore to meet so bad.
I love Drew so much. She’s such a great human. Demi as well! Both have been through so so much. I respect them both 💜
Demi looks like that kid from ice age
Demi has the face for short hair, beautiful.
Facts.. I feel like she can pull off most looks. So pretty
Truly
I feel like her face just fits every hair color and style honestly
Her head is the size of a basketball and she looks like a Puerto Rican man... FACT!!! LMAO
She is gorgeous with all hair types lol 😂
You can see how much this means to them. And it's so precious ❤️
Great interview!!! So good to have this conversation about things that last a lifetime. Love Demi!!
This is so awesome to see them talk and relate 💗
Stunning here. Speak your truth Demi
@r0bz _ what's wrong with you?
Get lost incel. She is so obviously living rent free in your head that you're all over this comment section desperately trying to prove otherwise. So pathetic and everyone can see it but you. Really just very sad and dumb.
@r0bz _ what's it like to be a troll?
I wonder what Drew thinks about Demi being “California sober” considering she herself had substance abuse problems and now owns a wine label. 🤔
demi is an unstable train wreck
Some people can have problems of substance abuse and come out of it able to live in moderation. Recovery is an individual road and we should avoid judgement.
@@sscottiucla lmfao. She relapses daily. Save it.
@@djdarq6311 I actually was replying to the first comment, without acknowledging your rude reply. It’s drew who owns a wine label so you’re kind of off base
That’s beautiful. It’s never too late to set boundaries with the world
I'm so glad they were able to talk because Drew totally gets where Demi's at. Interviewing after the doc must have been so hard, like how do you answer some of those questions in front of a room of strangers? I'm glad they've been able to learn that it's okay to set boundaries and not have to answer a question that makes you uncomfortable! So much love for these two 💗
We love you Demi thank you for always speak your truth 💖
This is one of the best interviews I've seen i love Demi so much and i love that drew let's her guest talk and tell their story
I can’t even imagine what it’s like to grow up the way that these people grew up. It’s so easy for us to say stuff like “oh well it’s okay because they get so much money for their work”. But money isn’t everything.
“I’m an open book with boundaries “
I love that ❤️
That makes no sense
I love them both, they have gone through so much and still standing, God wants them alive to share their experience
Or more like to change their way of thinking, maybe living a humble life like once his son ever lived. Why not pray that to Demi from the two? If you could shed me some light
Loved this interview so much Drew 😍 so classy... Love how you interact with your guests.... It feels really intimate like I'm a fly on the wall listing to your private conversation. Demi you glowed! I agree it's never too late for boundaries.
I am so proud of both you girls for being so brave and honest!
Drew just seems like such a lovely soul, a caring, empathic, friendly person.
Drew is such a great interviewer and I always love how open and honest Demi is.
I was excited when drew made a comeback to hollywood after all her troubles. I was so happy. Cuz some of my 80's child stats i liked did not make it out of their addictions.
these two have been through more than any normal person could comprehend!!! hats of to the both of them to getting each other xx
I think people forget how resilient and tough Drew has been since she was a superstar as a 6 yr old child. She simultaneously battled personall troubles with her family, individual health struggles,and essentially having to start over as an actress in her late teens.
She's obviously super talented but it's her fighting spirit I find extremely admirable and respect greatly. She's also never been an egotistical or arrogant person and her honesty shines when she interviews other people. She should be extremely proud of herself and I find it super easy to root for her continued success and happiness.
'It's never too late the set a boundary' I needed to hear that. Thanks Ladies
Great interview really eye opening and moving. “I’m an open book, but with boundaries” so very well said Demi the documentary was certainly groundbreaking if not, also deeply moving. 💛
I loved this, thank you for your strenght ❤️
Drew Barrymore is a great and versatile actor, great television personality and her show is truly amazing.
The whole celebrity world is so
Corrupt with kids being sexually abused and drugs it’s disgusting
More women giving interviews like this please. Absolutely respectful, insightful interviewing process from Drew.
One of these stars should write a book to help guide in raising a child star. Get interviews with parents and the children in the situation old or new stars and just do it
This interview is so important. So, so important to the lives of the world. Thank you.
Demi has such a beautiful smile, I hope she stays happy and healthy 🤍
I wish this was longer!
@r0bz _ what do you mean?
Why is infant labour only legal if it's in hollywood? I thought we agreed kids need to be in school and not paying their parents rent
Kids don’t need to be in school. Abuse and bullying happens as a result of that too.
@@veronikas.8831 they can be homeschooled too I'm just saying they souldn't be working full time
I can not tell you how many times grown ups laughed at me as a teen/young adult and saying your so young what could you have possibly been through. I would look at them and tell them exactly what I had been through and they would feel horrible and uncomfortable because they just laughed. kids all over the world go through horrible things all the time.
Two of my favorite women getting together, I couldn't ask for more x
I'm happy on how Drew is growing as a host. Such an improvement for such a short time.
Lol Drew’s hi and face at the start is just so adorable
It's never too late to set boundaries with the word.
PERIOD.
Drew and Demi, I could hear yall talk forever. I get motherly energies of protection from the both of y'all. My story is a lot like Demis (minus being mega famous) I was abused as a child, molested, and very suicidal by the age of 15. And I remember this one conversation I had with my mother and my ex step dad, they said "You have no idea what it's like in the real world. You havent gone through half of what we had to raise yall ungrateful etc etc." By the age of 19 I would be fighting for my life. My step dad kicked me out of the house with my then former abusive boyfriend. My abuser moved me Down the street from my parents house and nobody knew I was being beat, drugged, and r***d almost daily for about a year. Right before I turned 20 he got arrested but I left the relationship with so much trauma, ptsd, multiple anxiety disorders, depression, and the hardest one for me was my addiction to meth. I wish I had people help me and support me when they found out about my addiction. Instead my mom and stepdad kick me out Again. Long story short, I'm still struggling but when I hear stories like Demis I realize we have so much to live for. My story is not over. And addiction is a journey 🦋
Caroline~ I’m rooting for you! You’re doing so well! I’m praying for you. I don’t know you but I hear you. And I understand you. And yes! Butterfly 🦋 Girl, there is so much to live for! The best is yet to come!
@@alisonderrick1067 Thank you so much for your encouraging words mamas, it helps so much !! 😭❤
Ugh yes this is the interview the world needed
@r0bz _ Why don't you get a life intstead? I've seen you answering a lot of coments saying Demi's fat, an addict and stuff like that... If you think so, it's ok, but how do you plan to change people's opinion? Poor little thing.
Drew is so sincere and wonderful. I love the vulnerability in this interview!
Drew has been through a major events in life. And i feel for her… she is the right person to interview Demi.
I legit would love to see child actors in one room discussing about these issues
i have never been so excited for two people to talk to each other.
I love Drew because she wants to learn from others and she makes her show a safe place and the environment is so real and raw and honest. It helps you feel safe and comfortable and human not like an interview.
I thought that was a black lady I'm the thumbnail 😂🤣
