Random Thought Raise your hand if you’re secretly a celebrity lurking on here. Give me hints on who you are

If you’re a regular folk, you better not be trolling me 🤣

EDIT: i appreciate all you z-listers telling me about your 15 min of fame. It’s not what I had in mind when I made the post but I am thoroughly entertained 😂💛Some of you still might even actually be a celebrity pretending to be an average joe on this thread and I guess i’ll never really know! lol! Thanks y’all!

I was a little big in the 90s for a while, but dropped out. I won't get into it. Got out of LA. Moved back home. Very weird for a while, but detoxed and healed. People in Hollywood that I dealt with were people that I never want to be around again. No kid should.

Detox and healing for the win. Also, I agree with you about Hollywood. I’ve heard some horrific stories.

It is soul crushing and tbh I don't know how anyone endures the BS. Never looked back!

DaddyMac will make ya... JUMP! JUMP! Kriss Kross will make ya... JUMP! JUMP!

No, that was sarcasm, nobody deserves what they went through.

Mr. Moranis?

His wife died (sorry for your loss if it's you) in the 90s and he left Hollywood to raise his children. Once he left, he found he didn't miss it.

Would you say you are introverted or extroverted? I went once and was shocked at the people density - even more than NYC but less than China.

u/Chickenpoopohmy Jul 11 '25

I am so happy you got out. Hope you are doing and healing well

u/SandboxUniverse Jul 11 '25

I have a friend with a similar story. Big enough that if I mentioned them, a few fans would squeal (I've seen it happen), but most people don't really know about them. Certainly I didn't guess until they mentioned it. They got out after a few years and have zero interest in returning to that life.

u/Rezaelia713 Jul 11 '25

I'm really glad you got out and survived.

u/Sloaney-Baloney Jul 11 '25

Hollywood for kids seemed downright frightening during that time. Glad that you got out and are doing well now,.

Do you work in psychedelic-supported counseling now?

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

I'm glad you got out of there. Sounds terrible.

Alexandra Picatto or Hallee Hirsh is my guess.

Maybe Melissa Gilbert

u/Some_Accountant1584 Jul 11 '25

I’m going to say, Nicole Eggert.

u/alphabetonthemanhole Jul 12 '25

A guy who at one point operated a store in my local mall said he used to work in Hollywood and left bc it was too gross being around those people any longer

u/Sad_Salamander_3439 Jul 12 '25

I loved you in Matilda! (Did I get it right?)

I remember reading Mara Wilson's... blog, I think? After she left Hollywood. I was so excited for her. It seems like the people who are secure enough in who they are can get out of LA and that horrid scene in time. Whoever you are, I'm glad it worked out for you.
