And I’m not shitting on her for that, she’s lucky. But that doesn’t mean she works any harder than the rest of us, she just started the race further ahead.
I think in between her Yotube-ing, she was paid(?) while working on that musical with Tom? Or maybe it wasn't a paying job yet. Maybe they were so sure it would happen because of Tom's connections that they though it was certain? There must have been something kind of secure making them feel it was worth her leaving school at 16. I seem to remember that in the Mcfly book (yes, I read it as a guilty pleasureShe also never had to work during school, or even after leaving school. She only really did YouTube between leaving school at 16 and getting an actual job at like 19 didn’t she? What if she’d never ‘made it’ as an actress? It’s kind of dumbfounding to me that her and her parents were clearly so confident that she’d make it in the industry that she left school with no real prospects at 16, other than the connections her brother set up for her. That in itself says a lot about the privileged she started out with, there was no worry or need that she needed to find work because she always had multiple safety nets.

Definitely agree here. I've got my own small flat, but literally only because my parents helped out (and some of my own savings, but mostly parental help). Kinda feel guilty about it because so many others don't have the same priveliges. We need political parties that want to burn the current property market to the ground and build a better system, and to vote them in. In my country, we have a few great parties that are working towards a huge change. Hope they're successful at the next election.Just wanted to clarify I don’t have an issue with people who have help from their parents, I don’t want anyone to think I’m bitter about that!That’s how much friends did it and they are very grateful and aware of their privilege. The only thing that frustrates me is when people try to pass it off as their own ‘struggle’ if that makes sense.
I don’t think I’ve seen that video before, or if I have it must’ve been a very long time ago. Is it a public video or is it a private ‘you can see with the link’ one?I think in between her Yotube-ing, she was paid(?) while working on that musical with Tom? Or maybe it wasn't a paying job yet.

There must have been something kind of secure making them feel it was worth her leaving school at 16. I seem to remember that in the Mcfly book (yes, I read it as a guilty pleasure), Tom wrote that he'd thought up this musical with his manager Fletch, and they'd been in talks with Universal about it. So maybe it felt very much ready to go, and they cast Carrie. Wonder if she also wrote on the songs? No idea. Just rambling on and speculating here, on a quiet Friday^^
Edit: At around 3:05 in this video, she explains that she's signed to Universal as a singer (Mcfly's label), and that she's been working on a movie project for the last 3 years that has now been handed over to "people who know how to make movies". And she was working w a TV company who were going to make a fictionalised TV show about "her". Interesting.

It's a very old one - a public video, but uploaded in 2012I don’t think I’ve seen that video before, or if I have it must’ve been a very long time ago. Is it a public video or is it a private ‘you can see with the link’ one?
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it did - otherwise she would have mentioned it, I'm sure?Can only assume the TV show never happened?
She can deny people know her from YouTube all she wants but it’s definitely what she’s known forOh Carrie
