Betty White may be in her early 90s, but that doesn’t mean that the Hollywood veteran isn’t afraid to sound off.
On Friday, April 24, she made headlines for her sit-down chat with Larry King, where she shared her thoughts on today’s troubled young stars like Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber and Chris Brown.
Being in the business for so long, White has seen it all, including in recent years young starlets who burn bright, burn hard and eventually burn out.
I get furious, if you must know. I think it’s such an ungrateful thing to do. Do you know the millions of people on this planet who would sell their own teeth to do what we’re doing? And for them to think, ‘Well, I’ve got it coming to me. I’m a star.’
Betty doesn’t even think that the troubled stars of today deserve a second chance to turn things around, saying:
I just think it’s unforgivable.
As for whether or not Betty says she would handle fame the same way if she was growing up nowadays, she remained hopeful, saying:
It’s never something you did. You’ve always got to think of it as the privilege of the world to get to this point.
She’s right though. You owe it to everyone, including yourself, to stay grounded if you are lucky enough to make it this far but we shouldn't also forget that these people are not living "normal" lives. Living under the spotlight, people creeping and following you around invading your privacy to get whatever they want is not the best life either. We've seen that people get lost in the business, but always find their way back, it's not a new thing.
