Would You Like To Be A Celebrity?

[TWR]

A lot seem to end their Life very sudden Re/ Robin Williams, would you like to be famous?

[Prudie]

Famous no but I would like their money to fulfil my dreams

[royfromaus]

A lot of people end their life that are not famous. We don't hear about that though...because they are not famous.

[Cloverjo]

I would hate to be famous.
I think Robin's life would have ended just as tragically had he not been famous, though.

[Elina]

I'd hate it twr, to be able to go out in total anonymity & enjoy whatever you do in total privacy without being conscious of having to project a certain image is precious to me.

[pips1]

Hear Hear Elina.

[scooping]

No

[Butterbun]

No, I wouldn't. Press intrusion, digging up old embarrassing tales etc. It's like living in a gold fish bowl.

[RATTER15]

I think it has little to do with fame and more to do with mental illness.

[RATTER15]

and no I would hate to be famous, I hate to be the centre of attention.

[andy-hughes]

Absolutely not!

Having met and mingled with a seriously large amount of famous people, the notion of 'celebrity' is very much over-estimated.

You would not appreciate just how important privacy and anonymity are until they are forcibly taken away from you.

[ludwig]

There's no correlation. Alot of unknown people end their life suddenly, you just don't hear about it.

Would I like to be one - no.

[cupid04]

I'd like a little more money...but I'd hate to be in the limelight...I'm far too nervous.

[Mamyalynne]

No I don't covet fame, but not for the reason you mention TWR.

[ludwig]

The bad aspects far outweigh the good in my opinion.

[bookbinder]

No, I wouldn't like to be famous. I like a quiet life, and celebrities don't have that. I once read an interview with a young woman who was starting to make a name as a singer. She said that she didn't realise exactly what was involved in being famous until it happened. "I thought that people would just like me," she said.

[ludwig]

I should think it's alot like being completely unknown, except everyone keeps staring at you.

[Zacs-Master]

How do you know I'm not?

[ludwig]

Answerbank could be full of celebs. It might be where they come to briefly re-capture the joy of anonymity.
