我从儿童明星转变为成年演员的经历充满了挑战。青少年时期和二十出头时,我表面上看起来很快乐,但在内心深处却充满了愤怒和缺乏自信。我用食物、电视、毒品以及其他年轻明星的常见陷阱来填补自我价值的空洞。我曾经通过搞笑来避免被嘲笑,这种想法至今仍然影响着我。如今,我已经意识到自己是一个很好相处的人,并且不再为社交中的尴尬而自责。我曾经大胆地追求机会,但现在这种大胆更多地体现在一些更具挑战性的领域,而不是在职业选择上。我从小就从事喜剧表演,因为我胖,而且有抱负。我努力保护我在洛杉矶获得的舒适的中产阶级生活。结束《德雷克和乔希》后,我面临着重新确立个人身份的挑战,因为当时没有清晰的模式可以遵循。我在事业上给自己施加了很大的压力,但同时也享受着这种挑战。我的演艺事业具有创业性质,充满了风险和不确定性。我曾经寻找父亲形象,但后来意识到这种寻找已经变得有害,并开始独立前行。我会在生活中不断寻找新的导师和支持者。我尝试毒品是为了体验一种与众不同的感觉,这种感觉类似于我第一次在餐桌上逗笑别人时感受到的兴奋。我尝试毒品和酒精是为了融入同龄人,但最终却带来了负面影响。我起初犹豫是否要全身心投入Vine,因为我担心这会影响我的演员身份。我在事业上取得了一些成功,但这些成功并非我所期望的那种稳定和安全感。我在经济不稳定的情况下仍然敢于做出改变,因为这种改变本身就是为了寻求更多安全感和创造力。我曾经追求幸福,但后来意识到满足感比幸福更重要。我曾经将自己的身份与职业紧密联系在一起,但后来逐渐学会了接纳自己,并摆脱了这种身份认同的束缚。我参与《卑鄙溪流》的拍摄是因为我想尝试不同的角色类型,并且它促使我减肥。我非常敬佩法瑞尔·威廉姆斯,因为他无论做什么事情都非常出色。我对未来充满期待,并相信我会得到自己想要的东西,即使方式可能出乎意料。

Shownotes Transcript

Josh Peck rose to near-instant fame when he starred on Nickelodeon’s hit show, Drake and Josh. But while he tried to maintain his role as the funniest, happiest kid in every room, Josh struggled alone with the kind of rising anger and plummeting confidence that quietly took over his life. For the first time, Josh reflects on his late teens and early twenties in his memoir, “Happy People are Annoying.”

Coming of age under a spotlight that could be both invigorating and cruel while being raised by a single mother, Josh filled the cratering hole in his self-worth with copious amounts of food, television, drugs, and all of the other trappings of young stardom. Until he realized that the only person standing in his way... was himself.

Today, with a string of lead roles on hit television shows and movies, and one of the most enviable and dedicated fan bases on the internet, Josh Peck is more than happy – he’s finally, enthusiastically content. "Happy People are Annoying" is the culmination of years of learning, growing, and finding bright spots in the scary parts of life.
