I like studying the psychology of famous people because they're living a very unique experience as human beings.
I don't think enough of them have been honest about what it's REALLY like, and considering the fact that it would likely negatively impact their careers IF THEY DID...
I get why nobody's said anything.
There have been memoirs which have addressed the topic to some degree, but I'm not sure any of them have actually gone gloves off.
"Complaining" about the impacts of fame would likely be viewed as classless by any majorly successful/respected actor or musician.
Personally, I would appreciate the perspective. I hope that someday, a MEGA FAMOUS person has an autobiography published before they die and they just go balls to the wall describing the effects fame REALLY had on their lives.
Was their enjoyment of life impeded? Were their personal connections with others permanently altered in a negative way? Was it all worth it?
Give us the good and the bad. Give us insight into this unique experience you have lived as an individual.
I'd like to see this out of someone like Bob Dylan, an unimaginable level of fame that even other famous people don't fully understand.
But I'll take whatever insight we can get out of any of 'em, even the ones who were just "moderately" famous in comparison to cultural giants like Bob.
These people are HUMAN BEINGS. We need to know how their lives are being effected by fame. Mental state, the state of personal relationships, etc.
It always reminds me of Michael Jackson, alone in his own floor of a Las Vegas hotel, looking out the window to hoards of screaming fans below...
He felt alone. We need to have compassion for that experience.
