Since we were little we have had different idols and have seen famous people on the TV, while we were thinking about how exciting it would be to become a famous star. But once we have grown, does everyone really want to be a celebrity?
On the one hand, nobody could deny there are many pros for being famous. Being famous usually involves wealth, living in a huge luxurious house and being able to buy whatever you want. Furthermore, celebrities often get free or VIP tickets for important events or wear fabulous designer clothes that are lent to them for advertising the product. This kind of people also have lots of fans admiring them, so getting a couple is easier for them.
On the other hand, everybody couldn’t put up with the pressure. Stars sometimes can’t manage to put up with all the expectation and suffer anxiety. In addition, their private life seems not to be private any more and tabloids, TV programmes and the yellow press in general don’t stop publishing intimate matters. Moreover, a fan can get too much obsessed with an idol turning into a threat for the idol himself.
On balance, I think there are more disadvantages for being famous, so I would prefer to live an anonymous life due to the lack of privacy that celebrities have. However, this is my personal point of view and I believe it depends much on the personality of each person.
Good job, Taína!
