Top 10 Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity

The life of celebrities is very tough. Trust me it is not at all easy to become an actor and actress. The celebrities of Hollywood, Bollywood or any other industry possess much charm and attraction for their clients. The public consider the celebrities to be their properties. Despite the fact that they earn handsome money and get worldwide fame, they also suffer with a lot of disadvantages. Here are the top 10 disadvantages of being a celebrity.

10. Political Repute:

It is always needed for a celebrity to have a good political repute. They shouldn’t get involved into politics or destroy their image in this field. Otherwise they will have to suffer with very serious political criticism

9. Criticism from Other Celebrities:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
A celebrity is always under serious criticism of other celebrities. This is usually because of professional jealousy and other similar reason. For example, if a hero is getting much fame than the others, they start getting jealous and criticize him in one way or the other.

8. Late Marriages:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
Marriage is the right and moral duty of every human being, but the celebrities cannot afford early marriages. They keep on working until 35-40 years almost and then plan to get married. During this long period of life, they are left without physical relations and cannot plan families.

7. Irritating Media Attacks:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
A celebrity has to forget about his peaceful personal life and he / she cannot hide anything from the media because the reporters are always keeping eyes on all of the activities. The media persons work 24/7 just to cover every small aspect of a celebrity’s life. Their secrets and relations are published in no time on the internet and in newspapers.

6. Adult Cartoons on Internet:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
I have personally seen that the adult cartoons and bad pictures of female celebrities are publicitized in the internet. Even many of the celebrities’ cartoons are created in an ugly looking way and posted on different websites. Sometimes they are seen in irritating faces and sometimes they are shown totally naked.

5. Live Pretentious Life:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
The public considers a celebrity to be its property; this is why they are to live pretentious lives. The audience always is curious to know if a celebrity is in relationship and when will they get married. If a celebrity is married then when is a baby coming to this world. These all questions always remain in the minds of the public and this is what makes a celebrity feel irritated.

4. Threats from Criminals:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
A celebrity and his whole family remain under serious threat of criminals. They want strong security in life and keep a lot of guards with them all the time. This is because they remain concerned about the life and loss of the wealth by a criminal or terrorist.

3. Rivalries and Challenges:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
Actors and actresses, even the directors and producers always remain in a challenging and competitive environment. They are to face their rivalries and come up with better outcomes. For example, if a director’s movie has been the blockbuster, then another director tries to compete it and make something much more better. The environment of challenges always remains warm in the entertainment industry.

2. Face Predictions and Judgment:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity
The celebrities are always to face and suffer with predictions and judgments. They have no personal life and cannot be sensed as common humans. For example, the Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai was highly condemned because of her post-pregnancy fats. Such things can make the celebrities feel trouble but they still have to cop up with it in one way or the other.

1. Crazy Fans at Public Places:

Disadvantages of Being a Celebrity


Sometimes the celebrities want to enjoy life as a common human being, but this is never possible for them. Whenever they leave the homes, they have to face a huge rush of crazy fans, wanting autographs and pictures of the celebrities. This sounds like interesting but it is actually not because the peace and privacy is always gone from a celebrity’s life.
