Christiano Ronaldo who is arguably one of the greatest footballers of all time once went on an interview in 2015 where he gave the audience a few glimpses of his life. During the show he spoke about how he had to disguise himself to look different just so he could blend in with the public because he had a date. He also went on about how being a celebrity disturbs his private life because he cannot even do the bare minimum without it being on a front page magazine. Worse going out in public was extremely as people would also rush up to him demanding autographs, take pictures of him or just straight up ask him for some sort of assistance. Yes, fame always comes with numerous benefits but so are the setbacks and to a lot of these celebrities having a simple ordinary day in an open space feels like a luxury.
A lot of famous celebrities who are entrepreneurs, artists or sportsmen did not go into their respective fields primarily for the popularity but to be productive and utilize their skills but fame creeped in and that was the beginning of their obstacles to being private. The core reason I engage in the things I do is to attain financial independence through the right route. As long as I can take care of my needs, help those around me, elevate both my friends and family from poverty, I am good to go. However if by some miracle I grow into the celebrity status, well let's just say there are a few things I need to do to correct such an error.
Being famous is a full time job I don't think I can handle judging from my personality. I have never admired the celebrity lifestyle and no matter what anyone says the benefits attached to it will always be overwhelmed by the opposite. The only good thing I see about being a famous person is that it will definitely link me up with the necessary plug which I will definitely use to elevate those around me and enforce positive change but if I can keep the financial benefits and connections without the fame, I'll ditch that status in a heartbeat.
If there's one thing I completely adore is bonding with people in open spaces which might involve outdoor recreational activities, taking strolls, etc things I might probably never enjoy without fear of being stampeded by overzealous fans. Being famous is like living your life under a microscope constantly being watched by people both waiting for you to do something so they can talk about and fail as well to become the new grace to grass story, this is a whole type of stress I don't pray to get wrapped into
The moment I become famous, the first I am doing is lift those around me into the spotlight so I can quickly rush back into the shadows. I don't want to play by the rules of fame, the game is too tedious. I want to spend time with my family, I want to be me without putting on a facade just to please the public, I want to express myself with being judged by people who don't even know who I am just to get a few extra clicks and the way I can do all these is if I can lose the fame as quickly as I got it. One thing I love about this current era is that people always forget and would hop on the latest trend as long as you are not controversial and that is what I intend to do. I can still remember a few celebrities who blow up, made the bag and ran back into hiding while still making more money than they ever did as celebrities. I'll study their methods and hopefully it works out well for me as well...... Celebrity lifestyle is too expensive and I just don't have the mental currency to sustain it.
THANK YOU.
