10 may 2024 в 21:50
Miranda Cosgrove is known for her clean image in the public eye — without scandals, breakups, or anything else that celebrities often have to deal with in the eyes of the public. Before turning 31 this month, Miranda explained to Bustle magazine how her drama-free image is connected to her famous show on Nickelodeon, iCarly.
«In a way, I haven’t fully escaped the role [of Carly]», - she said in an interview published on Friday, May 10. «Many people think that’s really who I am». As the magazine noted, iCarly fans should not lose hope for their favorite show. Miranda recently expressed a desire to give the series a proper ending with a movie.
One of the most memorable — and viral — moments in Miranda’s career was when she said on camera that her favorite swear word is «f**k», - causing a storm of outrage online. As a result, many fans are convinced that she is just as much of a «good girl» as Carly Shay. However, Miranda doesn’t «stress» about her reputation «as much» as before.
«Now that I’m older, it’s not as important to me», - she told the magazine. «But there’s still a part of me that thinks, 'It would be nice if people could see me from a different side.'»
Part of the reason the «School of Rock» actress doesn’t use social media is because she wants to protect her personal life. Miranda noted that she has a close circle of friends.
«I like my little bubble and my life, so I often hesitate, because I think, how much is it worth it to put myself out there on social media? How much do I really want people to know about me?» she explained. «Maybe it’s good that I have only one thing people remember me for, and at least it’s a good thing, and then I can live my life inside».
In addition to her career, Miranda also opened up about how she is dealing with a past trauma: a stalking incident in 2016. At that time, a man set himself on fire and fatally shot himself in her backyard, which still feels unsafe to her.
«That's another reason why I often go to my parents' house», - Miranda admitted. «I just don’t feel completely safe in that house. For two years after the incident, I hardly stayed there. Then I started a relationship and because that person was with me, I was less scared. But I don’t really like being there alone»
