Brie Larson : Is it true that she had a rough childhood?

When they moved to LA?

Why would she lie?

because she does not know what is rough childhood.

"When I was seven, I had been very vocal about wanting to be an actor. And my mom decided that we would try it out for a couple weeks and come to L.A. from Sacramento." Brie, her mother and sister found a place near Hollywood. They were chasing a dream, but for mom, there was more to it than that. "The three of us would all sleep in the same bed," Larson said. "And I remembered waking up to my mom having these real guttural sort of choking sobs. But she was covering her mouth so that we couldn't hear her. And it's not until now that I've been able to put all the pieces together and realize that right before we were gonna make this trip out to Los Angeles, my father had asked for a divorce. And so this was a much bigger move than my mother had anticipated, and a much bigger move than I and my sister knew about at all."Brie also implies that her father asking for the divorce caused their subsequent life of poverty. She also says nothing to redeem the man, or that she ever even saw him again. Her father was a chiropractor, so the children certainly wouldn't have been impoverished if their father had custody of them. Only their mother's chaotic lifestyle caused Brie and her sister to go hungry in a slum like they did.
"We had a crappy one-room apartment where the bed came out of the wall and we each had three articles of clothing," says Larson. To prepare for "Room," Brie Larson locked herself in her apartment for weeks at a time. She met with trauma counselors and participated in a silent retreat, revisiting childhood recollections of living in a tiny studio with her single mother and eating Ramen nightly. Larson realized that period was one of the fondest of her life, despite how limited it may have appeared in actuality.

if you consider 3 people in a one bedroom apartment living like a college student does, then yeah it was rough. i watched my dad beat my mom multiple times and was reda0sponsible for sending him to jail once, so i'd say mine was a little rougher. ;)

Many people live that poor and shrug it off. Sounds like she doesn't think it was too bad lol

could be dad didn't want to move. But he could have provided money. Mom's chaotic lifestyle could mean drugs which could explain lack of support. Maybe mom saw Brie's career as meal ticket. Too little info.

No, it's too much info. No one needs to hear her life story.

Oh no! The Kajigger of Gibraltar!

Wow that's so great for you, I'm glad you feel like it's a competition.

There are people who were raped their whole childhoods, OH WOW THAT MEANS IT WAS WORSE THAN YOURS!!

I genuinely hope you're like 14 or younger or you should be ashamed.

You can't compare your problems to other people's, you ignorant piece of *beep*

Booo hooo. She lived in a one bedroom studio apartment with her sister and druggy mom during her divorce to get into acting and ate Top Ramen alot. Lol that's better than the lifestyle most 1ebccollege kids I've roomed with have had to endure for over a decade. Sure, it's not easy. But if this is the standard for "rough", the word has lost it's meaning.

I bet you never had to share a bed and live like *beep*

No.

Not in the slightest! They chose to move to LA for her. They had a roof over their heads and food to eat.
