Former Disney stars say childhood fame toughened them for hit military show 'Special Forces’
Disney stars Christy Carlson Romano and Kyla Pratt started their Hollywood careers as children, which they feel gave them an advantage for some intense physical challenges.
"I think that we got to read the room really quickly around us when things were critical," Romano told Fox News Digital. "I think we knew how to blend in, be there for people. We were really compassionate a lot of times because we knew we weren't physically the strongest. We thought, we led with our emotions and our ability to connect."
"We also don't like letting people down. I think that growing up in this industry, there's a different pressure that that puts on you, and you're like, 'No, I'm going to do it. I'm going to make it happen. I'm not going to be the one that messes it up,'" Pratt added. "So it was kind of that same vibe in life here."
Romano and Pratt joined several other stars, including Stephen Baldwin, Brody Jenner, Denise Richards, Ali Manno, Trista Sutter, Kayla Nicole and more for "Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test," premiering tonight on Fox.
"One thing I'll say about Kyla and then, I guess, myself, is that we really fully committed to this. And so we left it there. You know, we left it in Wales, and we gave it our 200%. Yeah. And I think … we're proud of what we did," Romano said.
The cast faced challenges administered by British special forces, including navigating Wales’ tough terrain, drills in the freezing ocean and even a hostage rescue scenario.
