I agree, Andy-hughes, I was at a tennis match where Cristiano Ronaldo was watching. Loads of press cameras were flashing six inches from his face for ages. At another match Dustin Hoffman was seated in front of me. People were climbing over his wife and kids to get him to sign something. What a nightmare!

Your mention of Dustin Hoffman reminds me of his own salutary tale about the downside of fame.
On one tragic occasion, Mr Hoffman's house caught fire, and while he and his family stood and watched helplessly their home and memories being destroyed in front of their eyes, a firefighter asked him for his autograph!

Talbot - //because no-one would volunteer for the level of intrusion that 'fame' gives you.
That's not true is it! //
It is true for those people who do not know what the real price of fame is, in terms of loss of privacy - it's a desire put forward by teenagers who lack experience of life, and imagine the parties and the adulation, not the reality of what fame really brings.
It's rather like saying, I want an entire new face, but I have no idea of the pain of surgery and recovery, and dealing with looking different in the mirror every day.
Maturity is about taking the time to find out what something you want really means, downside and all, and the making a balanced decision about whether it really is what you want after all.
The desire for 'fame' is an immature decision.
