Demi Lovato has recently explained why she wants to keep her future daughter away from Hollywood.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the singer, who uses she/they pronouns, responded to a question on how she would react to her child asking to become a performer.
“I’d say, ‘Let’s study music theory and prepare you for the day you turn 18, because it’s not happening before that,’” said the 31-year-old.
The Charming star continued, “Not because I don’t believe in you or love you or want you to be happy, but because I want you to have a childhood, the childhood that I didn’t have.”
The Heart Attack crooner revealed she would encourage finding a “backup plan — something I wish I’d done because sometimes I think it’s time for me to move on, but I’m in this weird position in my career because I still rely on music for my income”.
Demi shared she entered the entertainment industry as a child star at a very young age. First she appeared on Barney and Friends and then appeared the lead role in Disney Channel's Camp Rock as a teenager.
Meanwhile, the singer and actress talked about experience of working in the showbiz as a minor in the upcoming Hulu movie Child Star, which will release on September 17.
