Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers was born in 1989.
She grew up in Sacramento, Calif., raised by asingle mom.
She washomeschooled as a child, but Desaulniers always knew she wanted to perform.
Desaulniers may not be a familiar name to us, but what about Brie Larson?
That’s exactly who this young girl grew up to be.
Larson is an actress, singer and direcitor who always knew she wanted to work in the entertainment business.
And even at 15 years old, the young starlet knew she had big plans for herself.
I don’t have a bunch of love songs ‘cause I don’t really have much boy experience.
I just write about what I am actually going through in my real life."
I look at songs like ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ by Leonard Cohen and want that for myself.
I want brilliance."
Larson didn’t just want brilliance in her music, but in the legacy she hoped to leave.
Everyone changed the world in some way through music, movies, or even charity.
I was homeschooled, was always very close with my mom, and was very straight-laced and square.
I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.
Shespoke withColliderabout this fact, saying, “I never thought that I missed out on anything.
I never really wanted any of that.
I wasn’t interested in going to the school dances.
I wasn’t interested in going to the football games.
What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff.”
The actress has never been afraid to be open and to be herself.
I was freaking out around this time last year because I thought, ‘This is it.
I’ve really screwed myself because I did three independent films.
I didn’t do anything for money, and now I don’t have anything.’
I was eBaying stuff for Christmas presents."
So what goes through her mind during those tough times?
She explained, “I won’t do things for money.
They make really good pancakes.
I’d be happy doing that.
And that can be exhausting.”
Larsonshared this thought withVulturein 2014.
And I need to stop myself."
I almost felt it like a phantom pain in my wrist."
But at the same time, she’s learned to quickly move from one project to the next.
Affleck was previouslyaccused by two women of sexual harassment.
Her silence didn’t last long.
“When so many people tell you that, it’s easy to start believing it.”
But she refuses to back down.
