    I know they’re sisters, but it is interesting just how much they look like Elizabeth Olsen now. I keep mentally separating them because the Olsen twins were child stars who have been out of the spotlight for a long time, while Elizabeth’s career didn’t really take off until she was an adult.

      Child stars who then had a pretty successful brand built around them and now have a combined net worth of around a billion dollars.

        I’m sure the cost was high, they never had a normal childhood and were undoubtedly exposed to negligent and dangerous adults in the industry. But they’ll never want for anything in their lives and neither will their families.

        I’m not sure if I should envy them or feel sorry for them.

          I don’t envy them at all. They were also exposed to sickos on the internet in the early 2000s who created countdown clocks until they were 18 or publicly fantasized about them while they were underage. It was so gross. That’s when we should have learned the internet was not the utopia we thought it would be.

            I mean… I was online in 96 and utopia is not a word that ever crossed my mind. And that was before all the cyberpunk literature I then read.

                Tons of impoverished americans arent magats and are still angry. We live in a shithole, we should be angry. What are you trying to say by this?

                  Magats are in the ascendancy right now, in case you weren’t watching. Those others are just standing back and taking it…

            Mostly healthy for Daniel Radcliffe at least. He did develop an alcohol dependency during the later Harry Potter movies that he worked to overcome.

            For a lot of celebrities I can only really guess at how well adjusted they are. Sometimes they seem normal until they have some sort of psychotic break and all of the skeletons in their closet come out, and sometimes they just put on a brave face while masking years of abuse and trauma.

            At least as far as impressions, there are a few other names I can think of. Zendaya is a former Disney channel kid who seems to be doing well for herself. The Sprouse twins (Suite Life of Zack and Cody) also seem like they developed into normal adults and now just don’t spend much time in the spotlight. Kenan Thompson also has a good career as the longest serving cast member on Saturday Night Live, and he started as a child actor for Nickelodeon.

            But I have no idea how much of that comes down to luck or just having better support from family (or again maybe just burying some skeletons/trauma). A lot of other child actors who worked alongside the names listed above ended up messed up in one way or another.

    I get that they’re wealthy and all, but I don’t like that they mostly stay away from the spotlight and people still make fun of their appearance.

    I loved that Netflix documentary they were in several years back called The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

      I, being bad at faces… And apparently names … Didn’t realize that the non-twin was the Scarlet Witch until my wife pointed it out.

      (It’s a good thing I have her. I’m very oblivious.)

    One is worried she will not reach the toilet on time, the other already knows it is too late.

        Why? I find them attractive, kill me. I didn’t say they would beg for a night of passion with me. Quite sure they won’t. I just say i would totally be willing to.

            Ok, got it.

            Drug addicted, creepy, anorexia = good comment ✅

            Attractive, would smash = Bad comment ❌

            I’ll remember from now on. Man, you never stop learning.

              Good on you for trying! But there’s no need to bring up the first ones either, unless it’s relevant to the discussion! Just filter yourself man, you don’t have to comment every thought you have.

          Yeah, no worries. Judging by the downboats, no one grasps that said rope is a purifying element in its originating culture. Shoulda just gone with “8-ball gags” for the easy low brow laugh. 🤪🤷🏼‍♂️
