RE: A Look on Why Child Stars Often Take the Wrong Turn in Showbiz

in #life7 years ago

Fame can ruin anybody's life, but especially a child.

I watched a doc on Bob Weir, and he talked a lot about Jerry Garcia. The one part that really stood out was that Jerry was having a hard time dealing with the celebrity and asked "How am I supposed to deal with the fame?" and Bob said something to the effect of "You're not supposed to. Celebrities are an unnatural idea."

Its true. In the past our tribes were much smaller, and the idea of a celebrity was nearly entirely foreign. Our brains just aren't wired to cope with that world.

Totally agree. These are wise words my friend, glad to have you on my channel.
