Default Re: Why would anyone want to be famous?

I got a taste of what fame might be like when living as a white guy in Africa. When I walked down the street complete starngers wanted to talk to me as if I was their best friend. When I walked into a restaurant or bar people stopped and stared, (in a friendly way). Girls would constantly come up and try to hit on me.

After about two weeks it completely sucked.

i had a similar experience when staying deep in mexico for a month. i went to visit a friend and when we walked down the street talking english, people would stop what they were doing and just openly stare at me. being over 6', english-speaking and blonde, i stuck out badly. people came up to me on the street and wanted to meet me and take my picture.

it was funny the first week but it grew old fast.
