Would you want to be famous? Why/why not?

Question

And what for?

DrakeHart · Accepted Answer

i wouldn't want to be famous because then the drag of always being known by everyone has its flaws, you might not be treated like your a normal person by everyone else because they could be intimated for instance,

or that there is always people who know everyone famous in society, you could go to the mall then boom, paparazzi moment once you enter the food court for another instance,

sure famous seems to have its good things, but it has to many bad flaws that aren't usually thought of to be listed personally

holograph · Accepted Answer

No because I'd rather have a life with friends and not a life of being stopped on the street to be asked for photos just so people can brag about it on social media while not actually caring about me. I think the more famous you are, the more problems you have.

BrittBratt2416 · Accepted Answer

mm I don't know seems like a lot of work. I got travel here this place and give concert, then i got interviews, then i gotta pay all these people who take me to and from to places. Then I gotta worry about people always being in my business and probably trying to rob me etc. But if I didn't have to worry about all those things then... sure why not.

sageevalentinee · Accepted Answer

Anonymity is better. I wouldn't like people knowing who I am. I could never get away with anything cheeky or be able to have start overs. Everyone having an opinion on you despite not knowing anything about you. Would be awful. I am enjoying my life the way it is, and do not care for celebrities.

CoffeeWC · Answer

Not really. I want to keep my privacy.

copperscene · Answer

When I was younger I wanted to be a famous musician, and got a tiny enough taste of it to realise that it could be a big hassle and being talked about is only fun if 100% of everyone loves and totally approves of everything you do. I think it would be great to have an influential voice in society and be able to change stuff, but now I'd rather do it as a writer or something where you can still have a private life

DecentguyIzBack · Answer

I do, but not by being a actor or a famous singer but like : Sylvester stallone, Keaanu reeves, Jack Ma. etc. they all struggled a lot in their life, they have seen the worst in life and still made it in the hall of fame, and its same with me too, i have seen the worst in life many times, i know what its like to hit rock bottom a lot of times, so thats why i want to be famous like those people, and i will be someday.

TheKack · Answer

I said yes. But only under one circumstance is that true. If I were to ever be famous, I'd want it to be because I have billions of dollars. I don't want to sing, act, or anything like that, but being famous for being wealthy would be acceptable. Otherwise, I'd prefer to keep my own life private and avoid the eyes if everyone.

Hazelstar · Answer

No... I don't really like that many people but if I want to be famous I would love to be famous through my academic field other than that. It's a complete no. I love my privacy and I want to be able to have good time with my friends and family everytime.

HotJealousy · Answer

I'd like to be successful and respected within my subject area (computer science) but not publicly famous. Kind of like Nicole Eagan, she's successful and within the computer science world some people will know her, but she can still live a normal life.

Lliam · Answer

No. Just rich. The cost of fame is freedom.
However, I am a lead vocalist and guitarist in a rock band and have to say that is it most gratifying when people enjoy the music. Recognition is really nice, but fame would be a drag.

bitter_passenger · Answer

Yes. So I can have a lot of money and people to love me. Also, travelling. Just. Damnnn. I love travelling, one of the perks of being famous. And don't even let me mention meeting attractive man.
... getting really hot here!!!

MarciOwens · Answer

I'd rather just have the money.  But I'd like to be almost famous.

BirdFan360 · Answer

I like my privacy. If I were to do something that would make me famous, out comes the mask! (Like Deadmouse before he did a face reveal.)

StephenCF · Answer

Yes, because a private life is an insignificant life. If I died without being renowned as a writer or style icon, I’d die feeling like I lived the life of a worthless insect.

I hope to live by the FFSA code (Fame, Fortune, Sex Appeal) 😍💶💶💶

jgokgotit · Answer

It would bring too many problems. Life is hard enough to handle without someone up my ass asking for something all the time.

GhettoGirl · Answer

Famous as in celebrity no I'd never want that nor any part of the intrusion or paparazzi. Now being held in high regard by my colleagues in my field of study or employ, that I'd like to one day have.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I'd rather not. At least not super-famous. I'd be okay being a local hometown hero of some sort, but not an international superstar or something like that.

Adam1978 · Answer

It's better to be left alone, the less people who knows about you the less people will stand in your way of forging your own life without pressure from others.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I, sort of, am! My band has 2.5 albums out, I've got a couple of comedy singles, I've helped write 5 or 6 books, I've done voice work (16 voices) in a Hollywood movie, did some acting and voice work in another, and I'm writing two books of my own.

leahzrc · Answer

I would like to be famous because it would show how capable that I am. I would want to be famous for something that changes the world and for helping and growing with the world

Keith469 · Answer

No. I like being able to walk down the street.

Carbon-12 · Answer

Yes, I want to be adored. I want to be remembered. I want to be known as a talented artist, or at least a hot chick. I want to share my passion with the world, and spread all the love and positivity I can.

jayden888 · Answer

I hate people coming all over me, taking pictures, asking autographs when I am just going about my day. I also hate people talking (good or bad things) behind me, and when I'm famous, it's bound to happen.

SydneySentinel · Answer

I like my privacy. If I'm ever known for something, I'd hope it would be for something helpful that touches people's lives.

wankiam · Answer

oraclesam · Answer

I'm not sure we understand what celebrity costs celebrities. Pretty sure you give up your privacy at best, your humanity at worst.

bimmy5000 · Answer

No way I don't care for attention from a lot of strangers, especially if they are way too interested in my personal life.

jassminnne · Answer

Annie12234 · Answer

I wouldn’t want to be famous because I want to keep my private life and some space so I can go anywhere and time.

Massageman · Answer

I would like to maintain at least some shred of a personal life, such as it is. Very few "stars" have been able to do this. and many end up poor, suicidal or dead from drugs!

winterfox10 · Answer

I want to be famous. I spent way to much of my life not mattering. Being famous would make up for that.

LeoEmpath6 · Answer

I want to be famous because I love people and I hope that people can love me too. If I'm famous, it would probably bring me more love bit if not then nvm

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

No. Too much unwarranted attention. A celebrity or famous figure, whatever has to give up basic privacy. In my opinion, the trade off between fame and rarely finding solace just don't measure up.

clampfan101 · Answer

Depends on what I’d be famous for. I’d love to be famous in a technological career, particularly game designing.

Waffles731 · Answer

Being Famous for being the Biggest Badass who ever lived, like a cowboy/wizard/spacepirate/explorer. That would be okay

I'd love it. I'd like the access and the recognition.

I would want to be famous but in a different sort of way. I would go for the John Grisham type of fame, Where everyone knows the name but they don't know the face.

KacchanExplosion · Answer

I want to be famous because I am the best and have proven it
