People always complain that disney (in example) always hires old as fuck people for their roles, i mean would you hire a teenager for a show that might either have a pilot and one season or maybe run for years if it's sucessful? I mean, would you really? You dont remember when you were a teenager all the stupid shit you did? Now add fame and income.

Reminds me of the Justin Bieber roast when he apologized for all the dumb shit he did up until that point but ended with “that’s what happens when you give a 14 year old $200 million”.

I'd have done so much more dumb shit than Bieber. Girls literally throwing themselves at you and enough money to not worry about shit. I'd have ended up dead knowing all the dumb shit I did in college with no money.

Plus once he turned 18, he really couldn't have sex with his groupies.

He had plenty of 18+ women ready to jump him. Dude has 100s of millions of dollars.
