I actually saw Mary Poppins for the second time over the weekend and, while I know this is pure speculation and I am in no way saying this would be the case for every child who plays Jane I’m sure they’re all lovely kids in real life and grow into lovely adults, BUT given Carrie’s well documented almost obsession with 1) making everything about her 2) inserting herself into every single role she plays via telling Jamie to fight for her and Oliver to win her back before the show or during the interval when they are not their characters, seeing Jane’s character again, particularly how snappy, demanding and temperamental she is, you can literally see Carrie carrying some of this into her real life character which at the informative age of 10/12 I doubt would have then easily left her into adulthood, especially as her menthod of “acting” would literally have never been challenged since she was a kid because she never went through drama school. What I mean is that if she, as a child, thought “well Jane acts like this so *I* will now act like this” and called it actual acting, and then some of that bled into real life probably not helped by being the youngest by a good margin so probably being her parents golden child for a good while as Tom was 18 by then, no one could then correct her so we now get adult Carrie thinking that well if *I* feel super sexy right now because I have tone of teenage girls screaming when my top comes open well then my version of Veronica will come across sexy (she’s also even admitted she’s temperamental in real life) - I’m literally praying that someone else in this thread has seen Mary Poppins and can maybe back me up on this
