Some people like to brag about seeing, meeting, or knowing famous people. To be honest, I am one of them, but when I really think about it, I don't quite understand the psychology behind it.
There are also people who, even if they themselves are complete strangers to you, will talk endlessly about the amazing people around them.
No, it doesn’t really cause any trouble, but I do have this desire to be on the receiving end of those stories—the one being talked about.
Celebrities are just regular human beings, so you naturally run into them on the street by chance, and if you are around a broadcasting station, the place is practically crawling with them. It’s really nothing to brag about, so even when I feel the urge to say something, I consciously try to hold myself back.
If you get featured on TV, your recognition skyrockets instantly, but nowadays, people also become famous through YouTube or social media, so there are so many different paths to fame.
If you happen to become famous unexpectedly, there's really nothing you can do about it.
I once told my wife, "I've been careful throughout my life not to become famous (and by famous, I mean in a good way)," to which she replied, "Say that after you actually become famous."
I fired back, "Once you become famous, there's no turning back."
It was just the typical conversation of an old couple for whom becoming famous is practically a zero percent possibility.
