(Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for kids entertainment content.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople like to talk about former child stars in this dichotomy of either they spiral out of control or, somehow, \u2018come out OK.\u2019 Do you think it\u2019s possible for anyone to actually come through that experience unscathed?\u201d the Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/04\/movies\/cole-sprouse-moonshot.html\">asked<\/a> Sprouse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother and I used to get quite a bit of, \u2018Oh, you made it out! Oh, you\u2019re unscathed!\u2019 No,\u201d the \u201cMoonshot\u201d actor responded. \u201cThe young women on the channel we were on [Disney Channel] were so heavily sexualized from such an earlier age than my brother and I that there\u2019s absolutely no way that we could compare our experiences. And every single person going through that trauma has a unique experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we talk about child stars going nuts, what we\u2019re not actually talking about is how fame is a trauma,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo I\u2019m violently defensive against people who mock some of the young women who were on the channel when I was younger because I don\u2019t feel like it adequately comprehends the humanity of that experience and what it takes to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, to be quite honest, as I have now gone through a second big round of this fame game as an adult, I\u2019ve noticed the same psychological effects that fame yields upon a group of young adults as I did when I was a child,\u201d he added. \u201cI just think people have an easier time hiding it when they\u2019re older.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sprouse and his twin brother Dylan landed big roles when they were just children, starring in the comedy \u201cBig Daddy\u201d and then scoring starring roles in Disney Channel\u2019s \u201cThe Suite Life of Zack &#038; Cody\u201d when they were just 12 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The duo \u201cburned out\u201d in the acting world by the time they were 18, the report said. After Sprouse graduated from New York University, he gave TV one more go and landed a spot on popular show \u201cRiverdale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started acting when I was so young that I hadn\u2019t actually attempted, as an adult, to think about if I really enjoyed performance,\u201d Sprouse recently explained. \u201cWhen I returned, I reminded myself that I do very much love the art of acting. But I still have a very complicated relationship to celebrity culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/texas-lt-governor-blisters-disneys-woke-radical-agenda-promises-to-prioritize-a-parental-rights-law-like-florida\">Texas Lt.
