Will Friedle Shares Dark Reflection On Growing Up As A Child Actor
HuffPost
The "Boy Meets World" star explained how the pressure of escaping childhood fame after success could have challenging effects.
Will Friedle is opening up about the harsh realities many childhood actors face.
On this week’s episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast, which was launched by “Boy Meets World” stars Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel and Friedle in 2022, Friedle and his co-hosts were joined by “The L Word” star, Leisha Hailey.
After Hailey asked the show’s hosts how they managed to “get through” life after starring in the massively successful ABC sitcom, Friedle spoke up about how sitcom acting and being a child star can lead some people down the “wrong path.”
“Boy Meets World” premiered in 1993 and aired until 2000. Friedle, Strong and Fishel were children when the series hit the small screen.
“It’s been a rough 23 years,” Friedle, now 47, said during the Mar. 10 episode. “We joke about it, but it’s easy to see how sitcom actors, especially young sitcom actors, fall into that unfortunate stereotype of drinking or drugs or going down the wrong path.”
