Nicole Scherzinger<\/a> feels that she was denied the chance to grow after finding fame in her 20s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nicole Scherzinger became famous during her 20s<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old star shot to fame as a member of girl group the Pussycat Dolls during the 2000s and can relate to the struggles of stars such as Britney Spears<\/a> as the stardom she achieved left her unprepared for the poor response to setbacks such as the poor response to her two solo albums.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Variety, Nicole explained: “When you’re so young, you don’t realise it at the time, but that time of growth is taken from you. I wonder about that with Britney Spears<\/a>. That time was stripped from her. Is there a part of you that is stunted, and you’re not able to grow?<\/p>\n

“She’s definitely found herself in very co-dependent, needy relationships, and I have as well. And feeling desperate. I’ve felt that way in relationships as well.”<\/p>\n

Nicole won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in the West End and Broadway revivals of Sunset Boulevard but was reluctant to take the role initially.<\/p>\n

\nShe recalled: “I was taken aback. I was like, ‘Wow. This is what you got me out here for. This is your big idea.’<\/p>\n

\n“I was thinking, ‘I’m still Queen Pussycat Doll, and you’re already making me an old has-been movie star. That’s the role that you see for me?'”<\/p>\n

\nScherzinger explained that she could relate to her character \u2013 a faded star from the silent movie era \u2013 because of how the industry can leave stars behind.<\/p>\n

\nThe Don’t Hold Your Breath singer said: “I definitely had my time in the limelight like her, and the industry moves on without you.<\/p>\n

\n“On a personal level, I really related to Norma’s struggles with loneliness and abandonment and feeling misunderstood and unseen \u2013 feeling very small and pathetic, even.”<\/p>\n

\nNicole explained that her successful transition into stage acting has been “liberating”.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “You’re forced to shed old skins and say, ‘I can’t make an excuse anymore. I can’t be a victim anymore. I can’t be afraid anymore.’ It’s just liberating to take those chains off.”<\/p>\n
