It's in the job description

For some reason I've been thinking about Hollywood and Bollywood actors and how they always talk about lack pf privacy and they complain about always having their pictures taken and all that. And I thought, well, they shouldn't BE complaining because all that is in their job description!

Let me elaborate. See these actors and actresses, actually DEPEND on the public liking and loving them to determine their success. If they're not well-received by the public, they're movies may not do well. So, they will then do everything in their power to get the public to love them and to gain fans. Naturally, then when they have collected a fan base, their fans will WANT to know all kinds of stuff about them and to have many pictures of them, because that's how idolising people works. This is where the media comes in. They dig up information, interview the stars, capture they're every move with a camera, FOR THE FANS. So really, I don't see how these actors and actresses can gripe about the lack of privacy, unless of course the paparazzi sneak into their homes and take pictures of them in the toilet or bedroom of course. But , yeah, generally, whenever they make an appearence outside their home, like to get a Coke or something, they should expect fans and paparazzi snapping their pictures. After all, its always better to BE talked about, whether good or bad stuff then not to be talked about at all. I mean, if you're forgotten, I think it'd be hard to make money in this business.

Think about it: Why do people WANT to see their name in the paper or their face in a magazine? One DOES get a thrill from having people you don't know personally recognise you, cuz that means you're "popular" and "well-known". As much as you guys out there deny it, its true. Even for me! So next time you hear stars complaining about mobs and no privacy, think about how this is all part of the job and how they should just shut up, grin and bear it. I know I will.

P.S. I'm NOT being a sourpuss or bitter. I just think you should know what you get yourself into when you DO anything, especially your JOB. And not complain, cuz you're being paid. Especially when their extra perks of the job are like so much better than any ordinary person's bonuses.
