Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which clean-cut former child star is in fact a secret caner? The celeb in question only goes to showbiz events to siphon up all the free booze.

  2. Had to look it up, too, DN.
    Former child star. Thinking someone older who's a lush.

  3. Could it possibly be Jamie Bell (he played Billy Elliot)? Or how about Daniel Radcliffe - he was a child star, not that he's exactly "old" now?

  4. I hope it's not Brooke Shields, she doesn't look like a big drinker to me.

    This BV's a bit broad, there are loads of former child stars out there. 'Clean cut' probably means a male though.

  5. Okay, maybe I'm a moron, but what in the hell is a "caner"?

  6. Yeah, what denis said! LOL. I don't know either, nor have I ever heard the term "caner" before.

    My guess, The kid from Malcolm in the Middle came to my mind first. Can't remember his name.

  7. hey guys - remember, this is the Daily Mirror, a Brit paper, so likely they are talking about someone British, not American.

    Also, dn linked to "caner" in case anyone is interested.

  9. Hmmmm... the only thing I can think of is Jonathan Lipnicki, whom Ent just posted an event pic of yesterday. I realize he's American, but Jerry Maguire and Stewart Little (b/c of Hugh Laurie) were pretty big in the UK, too, so it could be about him?

    Other than that, I got nothing. I don't think the DM would refer to any of the HP kids as former child stars, because they're all still technically children/playing teens/in the series that gave them the label. I don't think you qualify for the title 'former' until you're in your 20s+ and you've NOT been playing child/teen roles for a while.
