The 27-year-old told the outlet, “We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight.”
“One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” The Euphoria alum continues. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”
Moreover, she admits to having complicated feelings about children as she puts it, “I don’t know how much of a choice I had, I have complicated feelings about kids and fame and being in the public eye, or being a child actor. We’ve seen a lot of cases of it being detrimental.… And I think only now, as an adult, am I starting to go, ‘Oh, OK, wait a minute: I’ve only ever done what I’ve known, and this is all I’ve known,'” she says. “I’m almost going through my angsty teenager phase now because I didn’t really have the time to do it before. I felt like I was thrust into a very adult position: I was becoming the breadwinner of my family very early, and there was a lot of role-reversal happening, and just kind of becoming grown, really.”
“I don’t necessarily want my kids to have to deal with this,” the actress noted. “And what does my future look like? Am I going to be a public-facing person forever?”
As for the ideal scenario of having, she explained, “make things and pop out when I need to pop out, and then have a safe and protected life with my family.” She also accepted dealing with the “massive anxiety” of her fans losing interest in her.
“This idea that people will just be like, she said,’ Actually, I know I’ve been with you since you were 14, but I’m over you now because you’re boring.”
