Ariana Grande discusses her experiences as a child actor on Nickelodeon, highlighting the joys and challenges of the entertainment industry. She emphasizes the importance of support systems and calls for greater protection for young performers.
During her teen years, Ariana performed on Broadway in the musical 13, before landing a role playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Victorious .“Being in this industry at all – as a child, as an adult, as anything – is a balance of ‘survive’ and ‘thrive’,” Ariana began.
“You know, there are so many beautiful things that come with being an actor and a performer, and I remember just falling in love with my character, and that being such a gift to my life.“I think playing Cat Valentine was like my very first experience getting absolutely lost in a character, I just loved it so much.”And while she says there were many “beautiful things” that came from her Nickelodeon days, Ariana also acknowledged that “being in this industry, you need that support”.“Every single thing about it is quite strange and quite alien, you know?” she explained. “Even just the experience of acting in and of itself, you are not yourself, and it’s a very strange thing. “Just working like an adult as a child is, you know, an adjustment as well. Doing school in a little tiny room, having to take certain exams to graduate early so you can work hours sooner, these are all choices that we made. But it definitely should be, I think, a more protected place, this industry – for kids, for adults, for anyone.” She added: “I just worry about those who don’t have that support, and it’s something that I hope we can be a positive part of that change together.”last year in the wake of the documentary’s release, Ariana said: “Obviously my relationship to has been – and is currently – changing. I’ve been reprocessing a lot of what the experience was like.”“I think that the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting,” she added, calling for on-set therapists and permission for young performers’ parents to be on set with them if they so wish.posted a throwback photo of herself dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard Of OzAriana Grande Shares Message Of Support For Trans Community After Donald Trump Gender Speech
