Money, acclaims, and special treatment are some perks that usually accompany with fame, which has casted a glamour over nearly everyone of us. However, how many of us realize that fame can turn out to be poison to our blood at some point?
Fame, in and of itself, is not a bad thing; it can be a good tool to help people, but once you decide to step into its world, it means that you have accepted a deal to sacrifice something of yours, and embrace all the the side effects that fame gives you. There are a multitude of people who think that they can manipulate their reputation or how they are pictured on social media. It is, in fact, a huge fallacy. No one can actually own fame, it’s the owner of itself, celebrities are just tenants in that “palace”. Moreover, it can turn into a gibbet for whom don’t know how to live in it.

Privacy is the luxury thing that no celebrities can afford. Being famous means being in the public eyes at all time, you barely have your own space. We’ve all read interviews in which celebrities wish they could go to the grocery store without being recognized. Lacking of privacy is the thing that you don’t want to mess with. For many individuals, this is not a problem at all. However, for the others, it could be the death penalty, as giving up personal privacy engenders a great amount of depression and tiredness.
Another spin-off from being famous is pressure; pressure to be the best, to be thin, to be beautiful, and last but not least, pressure from social media. Perhaps, this is the biggest downfall for celebrities, as not only does it lead directly to clinical depression but it also affect their physical wellness.
In general, as a celebrity, you have to make a deal: stardom, wealth, and influence on people around the world in return for your own privacy, the social pressure, the rumours, your picture got twisted… Be well aware of what you want to sign up for!
