Her acting debut was when she was 11-months-old, and she was catapulted into fame after starring in Steven Spielberg's E.T. when she was seven, so she knows a thing or two about the risks of being a child star.
The actress has always been open about all that she was exposed to at an early age, from drinking and drugs to partying at nightclubs with adults, and during a recent conversation for Uninterrupted's The Shop series, which is produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, the actress sat down with Idris Elba, Paul Rabil, Kyrie Irving, Paul Rivera, and Maverick and she made her feelings very clear about her daughters' potential involvement in Hollywood.
