The young actor shared his thoughts with <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, reflecting on the growing impact of online communities, especially the \u201cmanosphere,\u201d and how it can shape people, particularly teens.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper admitted that the online world was initially an \u201ceye-opener\u201d for him, especially when it came to understanding the significance of emojis that are commonly shared among young people today. \u201cI was glad I didn\u2019t have an idea of what was going on\u2014the emojis and the meanings behind them,\u201d he said, adding that even his friends were in the same boat, unaware of these online trends. Still, he acknowledged that just because they didn\u2019t fully understand these nuances doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not affecting real lives. \u201cIt\u2019s obviously happening across the country,\u201d Cooper stated.<\/p>\n<p>The actor also discussed the potential for his character, Jamie, to have been saved from the situation he finds himself in, suggesting that Jamie\u2019s life could have turned out differently with more thoughtful guidance. \u201cHe could have been more protected,\u201d Cooper reflected, considering how the influence of those around Jamie could have steered him in another direction.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper elaborated on the role of Jamie\u2019s family in the series, explaining that Jamie\u2019s mom and Eddie (his father) were unaware of the negative influences Jamie was encountering online. \u201cEddie and his mum could have just told him to come off [his phone]. Simple things like that could stop someone from changing their life,\u201d Cooper said. He emphasized that Jamie\u2019s life would never be the same after the choices he made, highlighting the series\u2019 exploration of the consequences of the digital world on young minds.<\/p>\n<p><em>Adolescence<\/em> has become a massive hit, now ranking as the fourth-most-watched show of all time on Netflix.
