Christina Ricci Enjoyed ‘Escaping’ Into Acting as a Child: ‘I Didn’t Like Being a Kid’

Christina Ricci has been acting since she was a child, and she doesn’t really know life any other way. Making her on-screen debut at only 9 years old, The Addams Family star has had a variety of roles and has more than proven that she can transform into any character. The Emmy nominee recently opened up about starting her Hollywood career at such a young age, saying how she enjoyed “escaping” into acting as a child. As it turns out, Ricci “didn’t like being a kid.”

Christina Ricci began acting as a child

New York Magazine reports Ricci got her start following a “spectacular grade-school freak-out.” Her school was holding auditions for The Twelve Days of Christmas, and the actor was in danger of losing the lead part to someone else. She devised a plan, taunting the other kid so much that he punched her, and when she told on him, he lost the part. Says Ricci, “I’ve always been a really ambitious person. I guess that’s the first time it really reared its ugly head.” After a local theater critic noticed her, she soon began appearing in ads.
