L
ots of kids dream of being on the big screen one day, but Kayden Grace Swan’s one day has come. Acting since she was eight yearsold, she landed a role on Nickelodeon's “The Astronauts”. Swan is also an entrepreneur with her accessory line Kaden Style, a singer, and an author of two books. Check out what she had to say to True Star Jr. True Star Jr.: How do you pick your book topics? Kayden Grace Swan: It’s based on what mood I’m in. TSJ: What got you into acting? KGS: I always had a passion for acting. I always looked at the TV and said, “Mom, I can do this better than them.” TSJ: How was it working on the set of “The Astronauts”? KGS: It’s just such an amazing experience to be able to be on a network I've been watching since I was little. TSJ: Many kids rely on social media for popularity and acceptance. What are your thoughts? KGS: My thoughts on social media are both positive and negative. Social is fun to have for entertainment, but I wouldn’t use it for acceptance and popularity. You don’t need to be popular to be accepted. As long as you accept yourself for who you are nothing else matters.
TSJ: What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced so far? KGS: I’ve had to accept that not every role is for you. TSJ: If Tyler Perry made a movie about you, what would it be called and who would play you? KGS: The title would be “The Life of Kay-G” and I would most likely cast me as myself. TSJ: What’s up next for you? KGS: I’m kinda just going with the flow, following wherever God leads me. As you can see Swan is a talented individual. She is a superstar with a bright future ahead of her. The world better watch out! TRUE STAR JR. 21
