She got her first roles as a teenager and quickly became a star. But such an early career is not possible without injuries. That should also be an issue in her directorial debut.
singer and actress Demi Lovato is reported to be making her directorial debut for the Hulu streaming service. As reported by the industry journals “Variety” and “The Hollywood Reporter”, the 30-year-old is shooting a documentary entitled “Child Star”, which is to be released next year. The film explores how children become superstars from an early age and how their rise to fame, fortune and power affects their future, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Several former child stars are said to be in the spotlight alongside Lovato.
Lovato got his first roles as a teenager and rose to fame as one of the stars of the Disney network. The singer says she felt overworked at the beginning of her career and then developed an eating disorder, as she said in 2020. The musician has spoken publicly about drug addiction and mental health issues in the past. On the album “Dancing With The Devil… The Art of Starting Over”, released in 2021, she processed addictions and trauma – including alcohol addiction, eating disorders and a nearly fatal overdose in 2018.
