School of Rock actor Rivkah Reyes has revealed they suffered from addiction issues and bullying after starring in the 2003 film.
Reyes was 10 years old when they played the part of bass player Katie in the Jack Black comedy musical, which followed a rock band comprised of schoolchildren led by Black’s Dewey Finn.
In a new interview with The New York Post, Reyes – who is now 28 – said they feel their story is “kind of parallel with Britney’s”.
Following the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears, child stars from Mara Wilson (Matilda) to Tavi Gevinson (Enough Said) have spoken up about their struggles with celebrity.
