‘Child Star’: All the Celebrities in Demi Lovato’s Documentary

Demi Lovato is back with her fourth documentary “Child Star,” and you’re going to see quite a few familiar faces in it.

The singer does step in front of the camera for this doc, now streaming on Hulu, but she also makes her directorial debut, directing alongside Nicola Marsh. PEr the official synopsis, “Through celebrity interviews, vérité scenes and archival footage, this film deconstructs the stages of earlier stardom and looks at the entertainment system over the last century.”

To accomplish that, Lovato sits down with other child stars from various generations throughout the film. Here are the faces you’ll recognize.
