[@dextermoore278]

Wow. This was Aaron at 25 and he was so sweet, charming, polite, grateful and inspiring. I wish that Aaron would of been able to keep up this side of him. He really was a good person and he was kind and hard working. Drugs are pure Hell and it changes people. I am so sad that Aaron passed away at only 34 years old. He had a baby boy to take care of. This is just heartbreaking.

It is heartbreaking. His family are in my prayers.

[@Zee-ob1pe]

He was always that way even in his 30s. His addiction was winning however

[@JustHannah8]

Watching him like this….breaks my heart how he had SO MUCH in him. He had so much life. So much talent. It is so heartbreaking

[@erikafletcher507]

He had such a gentle and kind energy here. I watched his No Jumper and Steve-O interviews, and it is so upsetting to see the contrast. Although he was trajected into fame at a young age, everyone used him until he was no longer financially useful to them. I appauld his efforts to rebuild himself through growing his skills in producing and music management, he did everything right to get back the life he deserved. It is terrible what drug abuse and mental illness can do to you, it takes you piece by piece unless you get the help you need.

[@CaseyBear87]

This is the Aaron I'll remember. It breaks my heart that he struggled so much and I hope he's at peace now.

[@EVH911]

Aaron Carter is a great guy. He was my daughter's make a wish to meet him back in 2002 and he was a prince. He spent a lot of time with her at the height of his fame at a Chicago concert date. My family and I were extremely impressed. What a great guy.

[@radiatelight4100]

He was always so charming and charismatic. It's really sad that he tried so hard to get his life together and in the end, his addiction took over. I highly respect how hard he tried to stay afloat despite all his obstacles. He is finally at rest

[@shinibi]

No face tattoo, no interrupting, no voice trembling, polite, open and honest. That was Aaron I used to love. Even though he was struggling with drug issues and family, he tried to get back on track because that's where his passion was heading for.

Between mental illness and people gleefully berating him, things started to go further down the drain. I personally wouldn’t tattoo my face but people are free to do what they like. I’m sorry he didn’t get the support he needed in time 😢. His son will have no memories of him and that’s so incredibly sad 💔

I’m Canadian and I loved Aaron Carter growing up. For those who don’t know, The Morning Show on Global is shot in downtown Toronto. One thing I’ve noticed is Aaron seemed to have a soft spot for Canada. I know he shot several of his music videos here and even wore a Toronto jersey in his Bounce music video. Stuff like that warms my heart. I wish I could’ve seen him perform here. Aaron Carter, you made a huge impact in Canada and the rest of the world. We will miss you. RIP. 🇨🇦❤️

[@ngcy21]

My heart breaks for him. We were both born 87. He has such an innocence about him. Seems like such a good and earnest guy. And hardworking too.

[@edselgreaves6503]

I was born on the same day as him December 7 1987. I should have appreciated him more.

[@annc7739]

You both are two years older than me. But yeah, I also grew up with the Backstreet Boys and him.

[@longstrangetrip9920]

You can tell here he’s still battling his demons but he’s holding it together, his honesty & charisma was who he was without his substance abuse. RIP Aaron

[@kyliekisses856]

What an incredible interview! Aaron 9 years ago was so humble, kind, honest, respectful, totally cohesive, thankful to have worked on a grueling Broadway show and appreciative of the fans who were coming out to the concerts he was promoting. A person is a child for such a short period time. There's tons of opportunities later to have the pressures of work and all the other adult responsibilities we have for most of our lives. What did the sort pressures that a child star like Aaron age 7-8-9 have - never having had a childhood, with all the hangers on constantly telling him he's the greatest thing ever, substances all around, etc. do to his immature mind? It was obvious Aaron was struggling these past few years. I imagine the pressures of being a parent, not being the hot commodity he was at age 7-8-9, his mental illness and substance abuse problem, and being estranged from his family all operating together put monumental pressure on him. For his young life to have ended the way it did is tragic, especially when considering all the promise he had here.

[@Magicprincess9000]

I admire Aaron's honesty. He seems like a guy that is willing to work hard and I like his attitude. I used to like him growing up and seeing him so mature makes me happy~

[@marcy6954]

Aaron, now you have found some well deserved peace. So sorry, you couldn't heal in this life time. My heart goes out to your loved ones and beautiful baby 🕊

[@margaretmatthews4872]

Now healed & at peace in heaven 🕊️ prayers for your son.

[@Enchanteralle]

It still makes me so sad when I see past interviews. Knowing that he recently passed made me feel like a part of my childhood was gone with him. I grew up listening to his music and remember him as an unforgettable guest in the Lizze Mcguire show. It's upsetting that his parents used him and his siblings, then left him with debt. I can tell he tried to get himself back together over and over again despite all the family issues and addiction, but his career never bounced back the way he wanted. Addiction took over. RIP Aaron. I hope you are in peace and thank you for the wonderful childhood memories.

[@DaddySatoruGojo]

[@daisygirl1217]

I used to be called 'Sunshine' back in the day, but after years of abuse from family and close people, I am no longer called that. It saddens me how much my pain has affected my personality. I am working on it though. When you are edging on 50 years old you have to decide is this what I really want to feel for the rest of my life? I know you wrote this 6 years ago but, I just happened to watch this video because of a psychic reading on him I watched, so this popped up on my list.

So many people so ready to label him as “crazy” or a “meth head”...so shallow of a judgement. Imagine if you were 7 and thrust into the public eye, molested by your backup dancers, had a drunken family, a sister who overdosed to death at 25, your father die and you don’t know how, and the weird world that is “fame”...suddenly you’re 32 and struggling with your mom and sibling estrangement...how are any of you who judge him worthy to judge him? If you were in his shoes you might get a clue, but you are all too close minded to imagine for a second that he’s a human being?

I feel like that’s the hint he’s dropping when he says dudes have done sexual things to him but he hasn’t to them.. sounds an awful lot like molestation to me. I think he’s a bit embarrassed about it though.

Here after his death. Rest in peace 😞

[@phishtubedotcom]

Who’s here after the face tatt??

[@mountainmittens]

I'm glad things are working out for him

[@astridsegall]

Rest in 🕊 , Aaron. Sincerely condolences for his family.

All child stars should be appointed a guardian. Someone who has no rights to their money but can have access to their funds just to see where its going. Then they can make that child and the legal system aware.

I have a little of Aaron in me, he’s a beautiful sincere guy and I understand what addiction does, it’s heart breaking and changes you into someone you don’t like. I’m going through it myself last 10 years but not with substances, mine is gambling addiction which is like a drug, research says it’s very similar in brain so I can relate to Aaron’s struggles and sufferings. I’m trying many times to be better and I know Aaron was too. He is now at peace and I pray for his family to find comfort in knowing that he’s being looked after by God and the angels 🙏❤️

[@margaretmatthews4872]

Prayers for you to overcome the addiction of gambling to have the victory in Jesus & l know it's hard just one day at a time & Aaron did his best & l respect Aaron he loved his son unconditionally Aaron Carter in perfect peace in heaven 🕊️

[@pamelanolan9523]

Well spoken, so nice and sweet guy he deserved better, so sorry...🙏🌹

[@Bunnie333]

Awh he is so so sweet here. God bless him I see how sick he really was now. .may he rest in peace and find this, or an even better version of himself in heaven 🙏 God will nurse him back to health that I am sure of ❤

[@TrueCrimeTalkWithTaves]

Coming back to watch this after hearing about him passing away. It’s sad

[@nailak7948]

Idk why but among other celebrity deaths, his hurts me the most. I never followed him as a kid even though he was very popular but I guess I just always admired him

[@shiidiamond9551]

The way he talks about his past with drugs and dark times still amazes me, It literally gives me about a million more reasons to call him one of my biggest idols.

This comment didn’t age well at ALL!

[@BrandonSmith-rb1bf]

@@deanwinchester3356 Thats cold... Did he die from drugs?

[@deanwinchester3356]

@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf Yes he did. Heroin (probably more like fentanyl) and then drowning in a tub from nodding out. It’s very common. To call someone who did drugs for from their teens until their death an idol is pretty crazy. Hence why this comment didn’t age well.

[@glm557]

@@deanwinchester3356 Addiction is not a moral failing - stop dehumanising addicts. Also his problem was not heroin it was computer dusters and it is likely what he died from.

[@BrandonSmith-rb1bf]

@@deanwinchester3356 Oh wow. The last report I seen it said the death was unknown.

[@lcookie1318]

See this dialogue makes me think more of him. He's very calm and his thoughts are actually organized. He needs to be this person I see in this interview, maybe then he'll get the support he desperately wants.

[@melissawright1979]

He's very humble and poised. He has been famous most of his life but he is not a brat. He's sweet, sincere and very honest. I wish him all the best x x

The Sad Thing About Aaron's Situation Is He Has Put His Life Back Together And He Was Working Very Hard To Make Sure He Lived A Stable Life ... Then This Situation Jumps Into The Fold And To Some People, It Offsets All The Good He's Done. Very Few Celebrities Donate Their Personal Time To Support Charities Like Aaron Carter Has. Unfortunately, One Bad Thing (Which He Had Little To No Control Over) In Todays' Press Coverage Offsets And Negates The Hundreds Of Ways He Has Inspired People By Giving Them Hope ... Hope, The Best Gift You Can Give Someone Because It Makes That Person Believe.

He seems so stable here, he is articulate mature and his conversation is very organized. What happened??? This must have been before drugs took over his life.

what a kind soul man. i never knew he was like this. best of luck to this dude.

[@jimmyfab]

@J J Scott Yeah. I think he worked really hard and just hit a huge problem with drugs.

What a sweet person he was. May he rest in peace 🙏

[@miguelcelocia6017]

He was alone..And drugs was his only escape from that loneliness.
