‘iCarly’ star Miranda Cosgrove says it was ‘scary,’ ‘challenging’ to be called a role model during teen fame

When Miranda Cosgrove starred in "iCarly," she wasn’t prepared for the enormous responsibility that came with being viewed as a role model. "I feel when I was little and people would call me a role model, I think it always was really flattering, but it’s also scary because when you’re a little kid and someone’s calling you a role model, it’s like, ‘Oh no, I don’t want to let anyone down,'" the former child star told PEOPLE magazine on Wednesday. "But you also aren’t fully formed and you don’t really know how to be a role model," she shared. "So there are nice things about it but it’s also challenging." According to the outlet, the actress got her start at age 3 when she first appeared in TV commercials.
