00:00Many children's first words are mama or dada, but mine was action!
00:05Mom is a famous actress, so I grew up in the showbiz, like literally into it.
00:10Hi, my name is Phoebe, and before I tell you more about my life under the spotlight,
00:14please hit like and subscribe.
00:16My parents divorced early, but instead of leaving me with the nanny or
00:19grandpa all the time, Mom brought me to the set of the new King Kong vs. SpongeBob remake.
00:24Mom, I'm tired. Do we really have to go on set today too?
00:29Great actors are never tired.
00:31But I want to go to Grandpa's place.
00:33He's always got some great stories about his time as a cop.
00:36Did you know he stopped 10 robberies?
00:39So his stories are fun, but not my movies?
00:42Fine, this small acting job here, and then I'll drop you off at Grandpa's place, all right?
00:46A few years later, Grandpa was gone, and I missed him terribly.
00:50When I turned 13, Mom got a lead role in a cop show,
00:53and this time I was more than happy to be dragged to that set.
00:57On the first day, I was utterly starstruck.
01:00I snuck into the costume department and tried on uniforms pretending I was fighting crime,
01:04but then I heard someone shouting from the cafeteria,
01:07Someone needs me!
01:08I sprinted there, and my phone, it was right there!
01:11You took it!
01:12I haven't!
01:12This right here is my detective moment.
01:15Before I could step in, an older man with a donut in his hand swooped in like an eagle.
01:19Why don't you check under the bananas?
01:21Zuh.
01:22I raised the fruit basket, and Mom's phone was right there!
01:25Whoa, how did you know it?
01:27She's got banana residue on her fingers, combined with the slightly tilted angle of the basket.
01:32Also, I saw her drop it in there by accident.
01:35By the way, I'm Tom, the police consultant on the show.
01:38So you're a real cop?
01:40That's amazing!
01:42Can I see handcuffs?
01:43When he did, I snatched them and tied them around his wrists.
01:46Aha!
01:47I knew you were an extra, pretending to be a cop like me.
01:50A real cop wouldn't have fallen for that.
01:52Which is why these are fake.
01:54Those, however, are not.
01:56Is this guy a cop or a magician?
01:58So cool.
01:59I want to be like him one day.
02:00Phoebe, the super cop.
02:02I started following Tom around, asking him a million questions.
02:05Can I see your car sirens?
02:07Do you have a dog cop?
02:08Is Terminator a good guy or a bad guy?
02:10Tom was more than happy to answer me, and he even shared his secret to success.
02:14Food!
02:15Never solve a crime on an empty stomach.
02:17So he ordered food to show me how to eat like a cop.
02:20The best Chinese in all of L.A.
02:22Come to mama.
02:23But as I was about to dig in, mom pushed Tom away and...
02:26What's this?
02:27Ugh, where's the chef's lunch?
02:29This?
02:30It's like ant's food.
02:31I'm a human!
02:32Mom dragged me home, and that night, I only had soup for dinner.
02:36The next few days, I could feel her watching Tom and me.
02:39Until one evening, when I was changing for bed...
02:41Eek!
02:42There!
02:42What?
02:43Where?
02:43Get it off me!
02:44But it wasn't a spider or a mouse, because mom grabbed my belly and pinched it.
02:48Fat!
02:49At your age?
02:50Gosh, mom, I thought it was something serious.
02:52It is serious.
02:53It's because of that cop.
02:55I've seen him stuffing you up.
02:56Do you know how hard I have to work to keep this body in shape?
03:00It's literally your job.
03:02But I want to be a cop when I grow up.
03:03Like Tom.
03:04What?
03:05I just blurted it out, but it was a fact.
03:07Mom blamed Tom for my fat attack, so she made a big stink with the director, who fired him the next day.
03:13Please, mom.
03:14Tom has done nothing wrong.
03:15He takes care of me and makes me laugh.
03:18Please don't make him go away.
03:19Little nugget, it's fine.
03:21She's your mom.
03:22She's looking out for you in her own way.
03:25Why does everyone always do what mom wants?
03:27Tom left, and I decided that the only way I could be free of her meddling was to run away.
03:32So I got into a cab, but I realized I didn't have any money to pay.
03:36Ugh, I forgot my card.
03:38Ladies, get out.
03:38Baby, come on.
03:40Think, think, think.
03:41But this is an emergency.
03:42My poor parrot caught parotitis, and only my loving touch can save him.
03:46And if I don't get there in time, he might start squawking,
03:49and it could lead to an epidemic of, uh, man flu.
03:52You know, where guys are pooping like birds.
03:54Ew, no time to waste.
03:56Let's go.
03:56But when I stepped out of the cab near grandpa's house, mom was waiting for me.
04:00You didn't really think that would work, did you?
04:02I'll run away again until you won't catch me.
04:04Mom looked at me all seriously, and even her curls seemed to deflate.
04:08She wasn't the superstar, just my mom.
04:10I'm sorry about Tom.
04:11I'll ask the director to hire him back.
04:13And what about acting?
04:14It's your dream, not mine.
04:16Fine, no more acting for you.
04:17But promise never to run away from me again.
04:20You really scared me.
04:21Wow, I was wrong about her.
04:23She really cares.
04:24To show me she was serious, mom organized a lunch at this 10 Michelin star restaurant the next day.
04:29But as we were on our way, the car banged, stopped, and started smoking.
04:34I played a mechanic once, and I'll have it fixed in no time.
04:36That's not even where the engine is.
04:38Since mom was useless, I called Tom.
04:41But when he arrived, he wasn't alone.
04:43This god just stepped out of the car and...
04:45This is Robbie, my son.
04:46He's only 15, but there isn't a car he can't fix.
04:49How can this make that?
04:52Robbie was way hotter than any actor I'd ever met, and I'd had a mani-pedi with Timothy Chalamet.
04:57Hi, I'm Phoebe, and...
04:59You're beautiful.
05:00Am I?
05:01OMG, he's walking to me.
05:02What do I do?
05:03What if Robbie just passed by me and went straight for mom's car?
05:07What happened to you, beautiful?
05:08Yeah, he's a teeny tiny bit obsessed with cars.
05:12Okay, Phoebe, don't get a crush on the hot guy who ignores you.
05:14Don't get a cru-
05:15Then, he used his shirt to rinse dry his face and...
05:18Right, too late.
05:20I forgot everything and spent the next couple of years finding any excuse to hang out with Robbie.
05:24But he stayed completely oblivious.
05:26Even when I gave him chocolates on St. Valentine, he thought they were for his mom's birthday.
05:31Oh, you saved me.
05:32I'd completely forgotten about it.
05:34After I enrolled in the same high school as him, we became friends.
05:37So I decided to confess at my 16th birthday party.
05:40Robbie, I... I like you.
05:42I like you too.
05:43So, will you be my boyfriend?
05:45I...
05:45Worst timing ever!
05:47Wait, mom's agent?
05:48He never calls unless...
05:50I'm sorry, but there's been an accident during rehearsals.
05:52Oh no!
05:53As Robbie was driving me to the hospital, I didn't care that we were together alone.
05:57I was just worried about mom because she insisted on doing her own stunts.
06:01But I was relieved to see only her leg and arm were in a cast.
06:04Everything else seemed fine.
06:05Mom, you're okay.
06:07Okay?
06:08I can't act anymore.
06:09Can't they cast someone else?
06:10The show hasn't even started.
06:12For the first time ever, mom looked a bit unsure.
06:14They can't.
06:15The producer convinced me to put a lot of money into this show.
06:18If the investors realize I'm not on set, the show will be canceled and...
06:21How much?
06:22We'll lose everything.
06:23I'm sorry, Phoebe.
06:24It's okay, mom.
06:25I don't care about the money.
06:26I'm just happy you're fine.
06:27I thought the scary part was over.
06:29But the next morning, Robbie told me he was going to Europe for his auto project.
06:33As if that wasn't enough, mom's hospital bed was empty.
06:36We're higher!
06:37No, not like that.
06:39I looked out the window and mom had convinced all the nurses to be her extras.
06:43She tried to do a high kick and just fell down.
06:45But even if she was clearly in pain, she got up and tried again.
06:49She'll never give up.
06:50I have to help her.
06:51That's enough, mom.
06:52I'll do it.
06:53What?
06:53We already look alike.
06:54And with a bit of makeup, I can age myself.
06:56I'll pretend to be you.
06:58The production will continue.
06:59Doing my stunts is not easy.
07:01You taught me when I was little.
07:03It will all come back to me.
07:04I'm sure.
07:05And so, Operation Double began.
07:07Mom had me learn all the names of her friends, copy her, move her voice,
07:11even brush my teeth with the same toothpaste.
07:13Come on.
07:14Who's going to smell my breath?
07:15The art is in the details.
07:17But it wasn't enough.
07:18For the first couple of shooting days, everything went fine until...
07:22The next scene is the roof jump.
07:24We're so lucky to have you.
07:25You've done this a million times.
07:26Sure.
07:27But as I looked down the roof, everything went woozy.
07:30And I slipped.
07:31Ow!
07:31Get me down!
07:33Are you sure you're okay?
07:34You don't look like, uh, yourself.
07:36Oh, no.
07:37No, I...
07:38Ahem.
07:39Just had a bad day.
07:40I'll do better next time.
07:41But I could see the suspicion in his eyes.
07:43This is too much.
07:44Let's call it off.
07:45And...
07:45No.
07:46I said I'll help you.
07:47And I will.
07:48That night, I went online and found...
07:50Mrs. Krumel.
07:51Coach to the stars.
07:52Will it be horrible?
07:53Yes.
07:54But it will be worth it.
07:55She seems like a lot.
07:57But I don't really have any other choice if I want to help Mom.
08:00So I sent Coach a text.
08:01And the next morning, I was woken up by Coach playing a full set of drums in my room.
08:06How the devil did you get in here?
08:08Did you want to give me a heart attack?
08:09No time for it.
08:10You've got laps to run.
08:11And push-ups and high kicks.
08:13And, of course, jumping from a six-story building onto a net.
08:17I want a parachute!
08:19But the worst was the food.
08:22Coach had me on this crazy strict diet.
08:24And she weighed every bite of food before I put it in my mouth.
08:27I started stashing snacks under my mattress and bribing the staff for candies.
08:31But she was always a step ahead of me.
08:33We can't afford anything less than perfection.
08:35Can't you hear my stomach?
08:37It growls so much it sounds like a lion.
08:39And, as with any wild animal, we tame it.
08:42I had pizza delivered through the bathroom window.
08:44Then chicken nuggets hidden inside my gym shoes.
08:46But she found it all.
08:48Nothing ever worked.
08:49As the days passed, I also noted another change.
08:52Whenever I got out, boys tread over themselves to look at me.
08:55And I even had a couple of talent agents ask for my number.
08:58In the shops, people always smiled.
09:01And I got discounted clothes and gifts.
09:03I guess pretty privilege is a real thing.
09:05The only one who didn't seem to like my new look was Tom.
09:08Just a salad for lunch.
09:10How about a nice burger?
09:11Shh! Don't let Coach hear you.
09:13Coach? What Coach?
09:14She's like a ninja.
09:16Always knows what I eat, even when she's not there.
09:18Soon, the shooting was over.
09:20And Mom was well enough to come to the wrap party.
09:22Just in time to get all the praise for my hard work.
09:25You moved like you were 10 years younger.
09:27Only 10?
09:28Seeing Mom back in her element made me really happy.
09:31Darling, thank you.
09:33You really saved my career.
09:34But now, I've got my own life waiting for me.
09:37Robbie was back.
09:38And I hadn't been able to see him during filming.
09:40But I hadn't forgotten his words.
09:42I like you too.
09:44The next day, as I walked to my locker,
09:46I saw Robbie kissing another girl.
09:49What in the holy cake frosting is happening?
09:51I pushed the girl away and slammed Robbie against the locker
09:53in one of my superstar film moves.
09:56I'm away for a couple of months.
09:57And suddenly, you have a girlfriend?
09:59You said you liked me.
10:00Phoebe, I do like you.
10:02But like a little sister.
10:04You could have said it on my birthday.
10:06With your mom in the hospital, I didn't want to give you any more bad news.
10:09I was really angry.
10:11But as I watched Robbie check on his girlfriend,
10:13I realized he never looked at me like that.
10:16Before I could make things worse, I ran back home.
10:18I spent the next few days eating chocolate,
10:20watching MSA, and wallowing in self-pity.
10:22The first heartbreak is always the hardest.
10:25It will pass.
10:26You don't know that!
10:27Pass me the cookies!
10:28But even after Robbie texted me to apologize,
10:31I couldn't get out of my funk.
10:33I'm not angry at him.
10:34I'm angry at myself for wasting all that time chasing after him.
10:37And just as I was about to turn into a slime monster,
10:40Tom came to my rescue.
10:42Come on, get up.
10:42I got a surprise for you.
10:44Robbie has a secret twin?
10:45No, and there's more to life than boys.
10:47Even my own.
10:48Here.
10:48He handed me a flyer.
10:50Police Academy Early Admission?
10:52It's in three weeks.
10:53Didn't you want to become a cop?
10:54In focusing on other people, I had forgotten my dream.
10:57But it's not too late.
10:58I can still become the best cop ever.
11:00But after eating my feelings, I was completely out of shape.
11:04I would never pass the selection, unless...
11:06Rise and shine, you useless slob.
11:09Great.
11:09Can't you go a little easier this time?
11:11Easy is for losers.
11:13I guess.
11:13I mean, I'm the one who called her, right?
11:15This time, Coach was even more stern than before.
11:18Everything was counted.
11:20How many steps, how many calories, how many push-ups.
11:22My beloved cake, I miss you so much.
11:24But we'll be reunited soon.
11:27Sometimes, she was so intense, I couldn't do it anymore,
11:29and I tried hiding.
11:31Phoebe, what are you doing under the couch?
11:32I don't think she can see me here.
11:34Really?
11:35Coach's method worked, and I lost all the weight I had gained.
11:38When I woke up on admission day, I followed the smell of bacon down to the kitchen,
11:43where Tom and Robbie were having breakfast with Mom.
11:45Robbie handed me a massive bouquet of flowers.
11:48I know I can't be who you want me to be, but I'm here to support you.
11:51Can we still be friends?
11:52Bacon and flowers?
11:53How can I say no?
11:54Robbie hugged me, and I was surprised that I didn't feel any butterflies in my stomach.
11:59Except for those in anticipation of the test.
12:01I guess I'm over him, finally.
12:03But I still didn't touch breakfast, and by the time we got to the police academy, I felt weak.
12:07Are you sure you're okay?
12:09You look pale.
12:10No, I can do this.
12:11The first test of the day was an obstacle course.
12:13I'd done so many of them with Coach, I could run them in my sleep.
12:16But as the whistle rang, I felt my legs turn to jelly and my vision go black.
12:21When I woke up, I was in the stands with Mom and Tom.
12:24You fainted.
12:25Robbie's gone to fetch you some water, but in the meantime, eat this.
12:28No, I can't.
12:29Coach said that's too many calories.
12:31Right, the mysterious Coach.
12:33Where is she?
12:34I've been meaning to have a chat with her.
12:36She's been filling your head with all this nonsense about skipping meals and looking fit.
12:40What Coach?
12:41Mrs. Krugle.
12:42They looked at me in confusion, so I took out my phone to show them Coach's website.
12:46But when I googled it, nothing came up.
12:48I don't understand.
12:49I've hired her to help me train for Mom's role.
12:51I trained you, no one else.
12:53But Coach, does it mean I made her up?
12:55The next day, Mom took me to a psychiatrist.
12:58And after I told her everything, she confirmed Coach did not really exist.
13:02She came to you every time you felt insecure, right?
13:05It's clear you created her as a defense mechanism.
13:08But I'm afraid you developed an eating disorder.
13:11Dr. was right.
13:11I'd used food as a tool to make me feel better and more secure with myself.
13:15But it became very unhealthy.
13:17And how do I get better?
13:19With time and therapy, but mostly being kind to yourself.
13:23Coach wasn't easy.
13:24She kept visiting me over the years, pushing me to make the wrong choices.
13:28But Mom was with me every step of the way.
13:30She recognized the part she had in giving me the wrong ideas about food and changing
13:34her own way of seeing herself.
13:36I was OK now, but I wanted to help others.
13:38I studied psychology at the university and worked with charities to teach young girls
13:42about body image and food.
13:44And what about becoming a cop?
13:46I'm still helping people.
13:47In my case, can't put the bad guys behind bars.
13:50And Robbie?
13:50Well, I was the bride of honor at his wedding.
13:53And it turned out his girlfriend's brother was just my type.
