Brie Larson took to acting because of Dharma
Larson told The Guardian that she spent her childhood doing weird things. Her parents would agree to all her demands. She confessed to her mother when she was 6 that all she wanted was to be an actor. At that age, she couldn’t get weirder by saying, “Mom, I know what my dharma is”, and her mom was flabbergasted.

Listening to jargon like Dharma sounds strange for a 6-year-old, to which Larson replied that she heard the term from television and used it. Her mother took her daughter seriously and sent her to acting classes.

However, soon after Larson started following her “dharma”, her parents got divorced. Before moving to LA, she had gained some serious acting experience, by playing Native American turkey hunter in her school play for Thanksgiving. Things got difficult in LA where her mother could only afford “a room” in a studio apartment. Larson was homeschooled till she graduated at the age of 15.
At 8, Larson wasn’t into cartoons or girls’ stuff. She enjoyed watching ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ and ‘Gone With the Wind’ and couldn’t connect with kids of her age who couldn’t comprehend what she was watching and doing. She became a loner growing up and eccentric. She started eating dinners in the shower at one time in her life because she felt alone.
