Former Child Stars Reveal Childhood Traumaīut as we’ve grown up, alongside these child actors whose young faces we knew so well, it’s now coming to light that their lives weren’t all glamour and adventure. At least, that’s what it seemed like from my hidden, ordinary corner of the world.

I don’t think I was alone in having been jealous of these child performers’ lives, assuming they must feel incredibly special, meaningful, and fulfilled. From The Mickey Mouse Club to Lizzie McGuire to iCarly to Hannah Montana, millions of young children and tweens would tune in night after night, looking up to these characters and the children who portrayed them, and wishing we too could have our own TV show. I don’t know a single person my age who didn't grow up without watching Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows.
