Natasha Burecomes from a famous family — but it doesn’t mean she hasn’t put in the work to get to where she is today.
During an interview with theTODAYshow, the actress addressed the misconceptions that her famous momCandace Cameron Bureis the reason she’s succeeded in booking acting roles.
“A lot of people will kind of assume that if I get any job or work at all that it’s from her. Or it’s given to me or it’s handed to me, and it’s honestly quite literally the opposite,” said Natasha, 23.
“I work hard for everything that I do, and I’m out here like everyone else just grinding and trying to follow my dreams and make them come true,” she continued. “So I think that’s one misconception that’s a little bit frustrating to see.”
Natasha said it’s “a struggle” being a working actor.
“I am honestly just like every other person out there, and I’m just trying to stay on the grind and do my best and continue to keep all the acting chops constantly at work,” she said. “It’s difficult for sure. I grind, but I’m grateful for any opportunity that I get and I’m just trying to work my hardest to get to where I want to be.”

“I personally feel like I have been experiencing that from when I was super little,” she continued. “Whether it would be if I would get casted in a school play or something, I had people and friends that would say, ‘Oh, it’s just because her mom got her the role,’ or things like that.”
Natasha affirmed that she’s “so far removed” from her parents. “They wish that they were more involved, which is actually something we joke about all the time.”
