Can child actors go to premieres of their 18-certificate films?

Question

Are child actors allowed to see the premieres of their films if it is a 15 or 18-rated film? For example, could Linda Blair have seen The Exorcist?
Aaron, Norbury

Answer

** Definitive **
Name: Mark, Basildon
Qualification: I’m a photographer who used to shoot premieres.
Answer: A premiere is classed as a private screening, so it is not bound by the same rules as normal films. So anyone is allowed to go there. They would not be allowed in a cinema usually to see the film.
