Nothing can stop Bella Thorne.
The 24-year-old actress, model, singer, director and author has experienced her fair share of highs and lows.
She took to fame early on by starring on the Disney Channel show “Shake It Up” alongside Zendaya. Since then, Throne has starred in acclaimed films such as “Blended,” “Midnight Sun” and “Time Is Up,” and has even written four published novels.
However, all of the achievements in the world could not shield the young star from the world’s opinion.
“The most challenging part [about being myself] is that I am constantly misunderstood — that’s why I wrote my book, ‘The Life of a Wannabe Mogul,‘” Throne exclusively shared with the New York Post. “I didn’t know how to express myself in a way that people would really see it.”
When we asked Thorne to depict herself in her own words, she said, “It doesn’t matter who I tell you Bella Thorne is because you will always make her whatever you want her to be.”
Tabloids, social media and random internet users have all labeled the 24-year-old as “controversial,” which is rarely used as a positive term. Still, the actress chooses to rise above and remind herself that she “will be happy” and that “the world isn’t gonna end every time [she feels] like it’s about to.”
Thorne’s reminders must be pushing the star in the right direction, as she keeps on growing her catalogue of accolades.
“I’m doing a really fun movie right now with Tony Kaye called ‘The Trainer,'” Thorne told The Post. “I’m really excited about it — it’s a dark comedy. I’m also about to do a movie called ‘Saint Clare’ based off the book ‘Claire at 16.'”
Enthralled by Throne’s consistent motivation to push back against the world’s depiction of her, we asked the actress for the best piece of advice she could give. She cut right to the chase and said to “just not give a f–k.”
“As we get older, we start to care less, and we realize it’s not going to ruin our lives — it’s just going to cut out all the bulls–t in between,” said Throne. “So start cutting out the bulls–t now. Better to start now than later.”
