Ariana Grande has shared insight into her struggle of working in the Hollywood industry at an early age.
While chatting with BBC World Service’s ‘Arts Hour, the Wicked actress candidly recalled filming Victorious in her teens.
“Playing Cat Valentine was my very first experience getting absolutely lost in a character, I loved it so much,” the songstress began by saying.
Referring to her co-star, Elizabeth Gillies, of the musical sitcom, which ran from March 27, 2010 to February 2, 2013, she continued, “My best friend Liz Gillies had the same experience with Jade, her character.”
“There were so many beautiful things that we learned. But I think being in this industry, you need that support. Every single thing about it is quite strange and is quite alien.”
“Even just the experience of acting in and of itself, you’re not yourself. It’s a very strange thing. Just working like an adult as a child is an adjustment as well.”
Recalling her packed schedule of that time, Grande said, “Doing school in a little tiny room and having to take certain exams to graduate early so you can work adult hours sooner.”
“These are all choices that we made. But it definitely, I think, this industry should be a more protected place for kids, for adults, for anyone.”
Before concluding, the 7 Ring singer shared, “I worry about those who don’t have that support and it’s something I hope we can be a part of positive part of that change together by talking about it.”
In a recent interview, Ariana Grande opened up about the consequences of filming the hit Nickelodeon show ‘Victorious’ and how it affected her life. Grande, who played the lovable character Cat Valentine on the show, revealed that the experience was “quite strange” and had lasting effects on her mental health.
Grande spoke candidly about the pressure she felt to maintain a certain image while working on the show, saying that she often felt like she had to be perfect at all times. This led to feelings of anxiety and self-doubt, which she struggled to cope with.
The singer also recalled how she was often judged and criticized for her appearance and behavior on the show, which took a toll on her self-esteem. Despite the challenges she faced, Grande credits the experience with helping her grow as a person and learn valuable lessons about resilience and self-acceptance.
As she looks back on her time on ‘Victorious’, Grande acknowledges that it was a valuable learning experience, but one that came with its fair share of difficulties. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can inspire others to prioritize their mental health and wellbeing, even in the face of pressure and expectations.
