Oscar-winning star Natalie Portman has urged child actors to avoid working in Hollywood, saying that it was “an accident of luck” that she wasn’t harmed in the industry.
Natalie Portman, whose movie career kicked off when she was just 12 years old with The Professional, was asked in a Variety interview if she thought children should be working in Hollywood
“I would not encourage young people to go into this. I don’t mean ever; I mean as children,” she said. “I feel it was almost an accident of luck that I was not harmed, also combined with very overprotective, wonderful parents. You don’t like it when you’re a kid, and you’re grateful for it when you’re an adult. I’ve heard too many bad stories to think that any children should be part of it.”
