If you're famous, tell us. Describe why you are famous and what you do? You don't have to disclose your name (unless you want to). And keep it real, no fakes, no showing off. This is just for curiosity.

I'm surrounded by famous people because of my job. I'd love the money, but outside of that being famous sucks.

[ASAP]

i am definitely not famous... but even if i was a billionaire, i'd prefer no one knew who i was...

[5.M0NSTER]

I am a legend in my own mind. But outside of that, no.

I am famous because I am the one, the inimitable, the indescribable, the only...Joe Kerr. (*ta da*)

Seriously - do you really think anyone is going to be honest?

[vreihen16]

Rule number one of interfacing with famous folks is to never approach them like psycho stalkers. We don't like it, and value our privacy especially when out and about or dining at a restaurant.

In all seriousness, I've had to give this same lecture to adoring fans before/after concerts.....

[3.0L]

I'm not famous and I have zero desire to be famous. Once you become famous, kiss off privacy. Also, if you're rich and famous, every knucklehead under the sun will hit you up for money.

A friend of mine has George Clooney’s phone number on his cell. We occasionally dare him to call him but he says the quickest way to not have George Clooneys cell number is calling him for no good reason. He’s a high rent photographer that worked on a big project with him so we know it’s probably legit. But we still try and think of good reasons.

Can't forget another benefit of fame: women throwing themselves at you all day.

Clooney likes pranks though...think of something good and you'll be fine

I’ve known /know some famous people. From TV and Music mostly. They will all tell you it get sold fast but it pays well.

I’ve been out for dinner with this couple. The other couples wife is the famous one.

You cannot enjoy any meal in public unless you eat in a private room. Once or twice it was fun. After that I’ve had enough. She was dating my buddy at the time. They didn’t make it. My wife was totally star struck and she had been watching her shows long before we met her. She is on TV every day and cannot hide from her fame.

The music guy has a better quality of life bc when he’s dressed regular is blends in.

Agree. I'm well-known in my profession. So not "famous" to the laymen, but easily Google-able and a person of interest to those that know me or want to know me. That super small, limited celebrity can get annoying as I am a target of scammers ALL the time. People also want to get in my business often and I prefer to stay private.

That would be nice, until you come home with a set of crabs and a notice from a lawyer for child support for a kid you didn't know existed. I guess in my "old" age (not that old), I only remember that "girls ain't nothing but trouble":

It's usually not the ones you want though. People are always jealous and fake around celebrities. As a famous person I'd imagine you are probably more likely to get the women trying to poke holes in your condoms, the crazy ones accusing you of stuff you didn't do, etc, not the normal ones who just want to live a normal life and admire your work.


I bet it's closer to life as a hot girl, where you just assume every guy is a creep trying to bang you.

I've known, friends with or had business/charity dealings with a few famous folks, but not myself.
