What is your take on some movie stars who enjoy the perks of being famous but do not like being famous?

We all enjoy watching TV and movies here and there, as movies are for fun and entertaining and we only have to see it from that angle, not take it so seriously if a certain movie is not done in a way beause it is not stick to a story, etc- I watch my movies or TV shows for entertainment purpose and only that and I believe movie stars do films for taht intent only although some enjoy when they have to play historical figures or to teach something good in a movie but that at the same time be entertaining

Anyway, I was reading that there are celebs who are known and famous and earn good money, but they dont like being famous, they hate it in fact. Some of these celebs are Kristen Stewart, Harrison Ford, George Clooney, Robert Pattison, among others, that could mean they dont like being in public even if their job is being in public.

Also celebrities are not obligated to even make interviews to promote their own work, is not an obligation, they get tired of it most of the time. to travel here and there, to stop by to endless TV shows, to talk over and over again about their work and some of the tiems with stupid questions interviewers ask them, etc They like the profession they chose im sure but they hate all of what is being famous for.

So they enjoy when the public watch their movies and their movies succeed but they dotn like being famous and they dotn like some things about their profession that is so exposed to the public.

How then people can deal with this? I mean they love their jobs and the perks but do not like beign famous or popular. Quit your job then is a possible solution or what other option these celebs have? Get used to it and deal with that profession?

I think it's very human.

No actor you've ever heard of dislikes acting... They may dislike aspects of the industry, but they would not tolerate the parts of professional acting they dislike if they didn't find something very fulfilling in the pursuit. And anyone who claims they dislike acting is lying and/or selling something.

This is a case of "If you don't like delivering the mail, don't be a mail man."

I doubt any actors truly dislike acting. As others have said, they might dislike parts of the process or working with certain directors and or actors - But I do know that actors like getting paid.

And if they don't act then they don't eat as...

I can sympathize. You got to remember they can no longer go to public places without being mobbed by people and they are constantly bugged by paparazzi. alone time is probably a luxury without someone constantly shoving cameras in their face. However being rich might definitely have its up side.
