Being a celebrity, such as a famous film star or sports personality, brings problems as well as benefits. Do you think that being a celebrity brings more benefits or more problems? Lives of celebrities, like famous movie stars or sports people, bring
benefits as well as problems. Although earning huge amounts of money is
an advantage for celebrities, I believe the lack of privacy in their lives is a
major problem that outweighs the benefit.
The main advantage for celebrities is that they receive a huge
remuneration. That is to say, such people are paid large amounts of money
for their efforts or performance. Celebrities usually decide how much they
should be paid, and the people who pay them do not negotiate as they are
confident in their star value. For example, Avengers star casts were paid in
high amounts even before they read the script of the film series because of
their previous performances in the older series. However, I think celebrities
are also human beings and money cannot replace the happiness or
freedom they need in their lives.
One of the downsides of being a celebrity is that it is not possible for them
to lead a private life. This means that because of their fame and
popularity, they are continuously followed by the media, and by their fans
who eagerly wait to know what is happening in their favorite stars’ lives.
As such, celebrities lose their freedom and cannot enjoy their personal
time with their families or friends. For instance, when Sachin Tendulkar
became famous after his remarkable performance in cricket, he claimed
that he could not walk down the streets of Mumbai as he used to do in the
past. Thus, I believe celebrities cannot be carefree, and they always have
to face the media in one or the other way.
To conclude, I think the problem of being a celebrity is that their privacy is
interrupted, and this overshadows the benefit of making large amounts of
money as a celebrity.
