All in all it seems like a raw deal. Youd have to be a narcissist of fucking biblical proportions to actively seek this existence
I’d say it’s more like being a feudal lord. Serfs probably gossiped about the goings ons of royals in their day. You’re still mortal, after all. And, while nepotism is certainly a factor for some, there’s still some degree of meritocracy. Assuming you don’t have any connections, you have to be good at your craft to achieve any fame.

Gavin Miller
So why do people listen to them? I wouldn't listen to some self-aggrandizing asshole off the street. Just because these people play pretend in front of a camera, were supposed to hang on their every word?
>>Normal people seem like another species and engender the most profound contempt in you applies to me

Yeah but nobody cares because you're a literal nobody with no accomplishments to his name.

It's the intense sexual power of knowing that millions of men would rather massage your feet than fuck their girlfriends. It's being a literal foot goddess.
There are plenty of celebs who live normal lives in seclusion. Celebs who get papparazzi know exactly what they are doing, durr if you are going to go around New York City or LA, what else do you think will happen.
People who worship celebrities are mostly shallow narcissists themselves. They self-inset as the celebrity, fantasizing deep down they are 'just like them' and that if the celebrity is above humanity then they themselves are too.

I don't mean out in the fucking wilderness, I mean in a small town or small city. If you choose to live in NY or LA and constantly walk down expensive avenues without any disguise, what do you think will happen.

The Paps will follow you barefoot into hell if they can get that one pic that will pay their shit for the rest of the year

Why would I be a gry that you're a nobody? Frankly, I thinknits warranted.
Jace Richardson
Celebrities should be seen as court jesters.
Celebrity-worship is disgusting. Actors are commercial products invented by talent agencies with completely fabricated looks and style. They're often poached at a young age and moulded into the product they are today. They're completely fake.
Cooper Lopez
you're angry that I'm not an NPC like you NPCs don't like things dissimilar to themselves
Dylan Gonzalez
paps aren't all seeing despite what people think, they usually get tips and if you live in NY or LA, you're going to get followed
there are celebs who have a symbiotic relationship with them that need paps to keep them in tabloid headlines so they play the game and then complain about it, maybe dozens of them
but if you wanted to be private, you could disappear
I doubt Joe Smith in Nebraska would sell you out or a Pap would fly all the way there just to watch you walk your dog in a small neighborhood

Most actors or those aspiring to be A-list celebrities are damaged goods though and there’s a fair share of narcissist among them. You’re grossly overestimating the intelligence of the general public or how fucked up their emotional development is. People joke about chan culture revolving around autism, but it seems this place has more sensible people with functioning relationships than these normies could ever dream of. Just a look outside of your immediate friend group and you already notice people making life choices that you would rate as disastrous when you were 12 years old. The patients are running the asylum, and it’s starting to show.

They are created so they keep people like YOU busy, it works great just look at this board.

What do you mean people like me. I loathe celebrity
James Long
papparazzi most of the time are paid up by the actors themselves
pic related is obviously a publicity stunt
Angel Gutierrez
Exactly, I don't give a shit about them, they just exist to entertain me whenever I want, but people here obsess over every little detail, they keep you busy with pointless shit like race swapping, white washing, and other shit that no one sane should bother with.

Bruce Cambell lives in some small town in Ohio or something. The week after he moved in his neighbour asked him if if he was an actor and if he played a cowboy in some series. Cambell said "Yes, sir" and the following weekend he was helping out herding cattle on a horse. Nobody in that town cares that he is famous.
Ryder Perez
Oregon. In a town with less than 3000 people.
Thomas Sanders
Seems about right. Thanks Bruce.
Anthony Foster
No problem. I mean, what? I'm not "Bruce".
Hudson Cook
"they call me bruce" is an underappreciated gem.

This is complete bullshit. The average celebrity is a narcissistic attention whore. Their pr firms literally tip the paparazzi off and promise the celebrity will be wearing something raunchy or doing something interesting just so that they can stay famous and in the public's field of view. Notice how Daniel Day Lewis has had zero scandals and never appears on the front of any tabloid magazines? Same with 90% of directors. It's like when Jennifer Lawrence complained about how she could never just get away from hollywood and all the attention during a magazine interview for like gq in LA. If these celebrities wanted to actually get away, all they have to do is book a flight to a random flyover state or a village in England or France and hang out there for a bit. The local populace wouldn't recognise them and the paps wouldn't come that far out. And if someone did recognise them, all they have to do is say "oh, haha I get that a lot" because why the fuck would Scarlett Johanson be hanging out in Scunthorpe in tracksuit bottoms shopping at aldi?
Camden Lewis
Thanks. I mean what?
Hudson Parker
You severely underestimate the dedication of many paps.
Carter Moore
If Ryan Gosling, an oscar nominated a-list actor, moved out to a small village in Minnesota for a year, no paps would follow him. There'd be point because there's no story there. Paps take random candids of celebrities hoping something interesting might happen or so that some dumbfuck writer can make up a story, "have they gained weight?". If the celebrity moves out to somewhere random, it would cost too much to follow them, there would be no other celebrities around, and there's no guarantee that the celeb will do anything worth a photo. Exceptions are only given to the ultra-famous or celebs going through very public breakdowns. 12 years ago, they would've followed Britney Spears for example. Today, they definitely wouldn't. Britney's still pretty fucking famous and rich.
And all of this relies on the paps even knowing where the celebrity went. They only have to have a single layover in their flight and not announce their final destination on social media for everyone to "lose" them. Airports actually have pretty strict security. On the off-chance the people around them post photos, they can literally just get in car and drive for an hour once they land.

Tom Holland bitching to GQ about pap shots his own people set up with that 40 year old looking lesbian blonde at the Hyde Park gig is rather amusing, the poor darlings

This. It’s all set up, like Fungus Feet “caught” slobbering over some man in the grocery store, trying to pretend she’s just like us.

Probably depends on what roles you're playing and who's your fanbase.
