Demi Lovato Recruits JoJo Siwa, Raven-Symoné & More for ‘Child Star’ Documentary

Demi Lovato is making her directorial debut on Hulu’s upcoming documentary, Child Star, and she has recruited an all-star lineup of fellow child stars for the project.

Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson, Christina Ricci, Raven-Symoné, JoJo Siwa and Lovato’s Camp Rock co-star Alyson Stoner are all set to take part in the documentary, which chronicles the highs and lows of skyrocketed fame at a young age, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Along with Nicola Marsh, Lovato will co-direct Child Star, a Hulu Original documentary film that promises to “deconstruct the highs and lows of growing up in the spotlight through the lens of some of the world’s most famous former child stars,” according to a release.

“There is no better film or topic for my directorial debut than this story, which is close to home,” the Disney Channel alum previously said in a press statement about the film. “Our project sheds light on important messages about growing up in the public eye, learning to protect our boundaries, and becoming active advocates of our own destinies. I’m humbled to be able to learn from the individuals who have lived the unique experience of child stardom and share their stories in our film.”

Child Star is produced by OBB Media’s Michael D. Ratner, who directed and produced Lovato’s 2021 documentary, Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, along with Scott Ratner, Miranda Sherman, Kfir Goldberg and Lovato. It’s executive produced by Marsh, Scooter Braun, Scott Manson, Jen McDaniels, Glenn Stickley and James Shin.
