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?

Being a famous person,

for example

, a popular actor or a sports

star

is problematic

as well as

beneficial.

This

essay believes that fame has more negative effects because it comes with the cost of being a burden to the

star’s

family, and it can threaten the

star’s

mental

health

. The first negative effect fame has on the

star’s

life is the burden it puts on his family.

That is

not only because of the paparazzi that keep chasing them everywhere they go and eventually putting them at physical risk, but

also

because of the pink media which posts news about them that completely breach privacy and are often related to intimate relationships.

For example

, it is very well known how much detrimental the role of paparazzi and pink media was on Princess Diana’s sons and they report that those publications and breaking news scarred them for a lifetime just because they come from a famous family. The second reason behind the negativity of being a

star

is that it creates an unsafe environment that may endanger the

star’s

mental

health

. Being constantly under the spotlight and lacking the minimum amount of privacy in the person’s life is documented to be detrimental to

this

latter’s mental

health

.

For instance

, the famous movie

star

Marilyn Monroe is known to have committed suicide because she could not cope with a life with no privacy at all, and the same applies to the famous Egyptian

star

Souad Husni and many others. In conclusion, in my opinion, the negative aspects of fame outweigh the positive ones especially because it puts a burden on the

star’s

family and puts their mental

health

in danger.
