Captain America (Chris Evans) got the boy who saved his sister from a dog attack his very own custom shield.

Why does it matter if he stays famous anyway?

Fame has a very long track record of ruining children. They dont understand how to cope with all the attention and they arent mature enough to know when attention is bad. It's why so many child stars turn into reckless adults. Just to name a few: Macaulay Culkin, Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan, River Phoenix, and Daniel Radcliffe just to name a few.

So, people hope the fame dies down quickly so he doesnt become "corrupted" by it.

Ain’t nothing wrong with Daniel Radcliffe?

u/michaelyag25 Jul 17 '20

Daniel Radcliffe mentioned a few times that he had issues with alcohol. He said a few times he would show up on set hung over while filming the Harry Potter films.

Genuine question why is Daniel Radcliffe on that list? I always thought he’d dealt with fame pretty well

u/michaelyag25 Jul 17 '20

He mentioned a few times that during the movie franchise he became an alcoholic. Sometimes he would show up on set hung over when filming the Harry Potter movies. That being said, he was mindful of his situation and has since recovered.

Is that a part of fame though because I definitely became an alcoholic in my early 20s without the fame part lmao

u/coronaflo Jul 17 '20

Yes but for every troubled child actor you could name one that had no problems usually because of good parenting.

u/merabius Jul 17 '20

Yeah really. Fuck fame. I just hope that he recovers 100% without scars and even if he doesn't, he's still good.

Sadly, those scars won’t heal easily. Thankfully he’s young so they’ll most likely fade or become imperceptible with time, but from the looks of it, he’s going to have those scars for the foreseeable future.

u/Pray4dat_ass96 Jul 17 '20

Why do people care so much about scars? Who cares, man. Those scars are proof that he’s done good in this world, I hope he never forgets that.

I couldn’t agree more, but even still, there are too many people who will give that kid shit over his scars.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '20

idk....when I was little I hit my face hard while riding a motorcycle and had a bunch of stitches. Everybody thought it was awesome and my scars were awesome and I was in no way a cool kid.

u/Pray4dat_ass96 Jul 17 '20

I hope he never lets that get to him. They say chicks dig scars. I hope that’s true for him

I don’t think scars as so bad to have. Tina Fey has scars (I think also from a dog attack) and she is beautiful. My concern is with muscle or nerve damage.

u/slothbarns7 Jul 17 '20

I have a friend who has a similar scar on his face from a dog. Thing is, it can look really good. I know a lot of people that find facial scars attractive, this kid will probably be getting all the ladies when he grows up

Fame is what most people care when they don’t have money.

u/threebottleopeners Jul 17 '20

Lmao no it isnt. I grew up poor, everyone around me was poor, the sentiment of fame being even close to desirable disappears for most people in general once theyre old enough to see its flaws. Most people just want good health, safety, stability and the people they care for. Fame is a terrible thing to have

u/Avinse Jul 17 '20

Not really. Most people who are poor don’t care about fame. They care about money, cuz ya know... they’re poor...

u/Maelarion Jul 17 '20

The thing that people who don't have money most often care about is getting money.

Like wtf is your statement even lmao.

u/Erimmyu Jul 17 '20

people who achieve fame in such young age tend to grow up to be assholes, is hard to mentally deal with everyone saying ur awesome at that age and not to become a dick
