I've seen her talk about that, about how that is why she's
considered like one of the only normal Disney kids left, right?
Is because of who she was surrounded by.
It's funny.
I don't actually think that that Hilary Duff is that normal.
Really?
I think she came from a really,
really wealthy family and she had a lot of support coming out the gate.
And I think that, you know,
she was able to do the right things and listen to her mom.
And I think her mom probably saved their money
and reinvested in it because they came from money.
I think you are at a disadvantage
when you're a child actor that's not from a wealthy family.
You are.
I can see that.
Yeah, because like all of your money goes right back
into in order for you to justify even keep going to do it.
You have to like have all the bills paid and you have
to be the one paying them and you have to keep that afloat.
So like you're kind of the breadwinner in that situation.
