Days before her shoot with People, Ariana Greenblatt did something that, to the average 16-year-old, would be considered ordinary. She visited the Santa Monica Pier with her friends early in the morning. Wearing her pajamas and a pair of sunglasses she purchased on the pier as her disguise, Greenblatt leaned into the kind of carefree “normal” that came before she became a Disney Channel child star at age 8.
“If I’m in a public setting with a bunch of people, I’m constantly aware,” says Greenblatt, who has 3.6 million followers on TikTok and 3.4 million on Instagram, and is still learning to “balance all the changes” as a rising star, hanging at friends’ houses or at off-the-radar Los Angeles restaurants. “I’ve navigated a way to stay as low-key as possible.”
