The parameters of this aloof manner are so well-defined that successfully imitating it can be enough to win the trust and attention of others. But lack of interest in the civilians comes at a price, and one of the paradoxes of celebrity is that it can be very isolating.
Dr Donna Rockwell is a clinical psychologist who specialises in fame and celebrity. There is a great quote from Harrison Ford. Acclimatise to fame, however, and you face a whole new set of challenges, according to Rockwell. The brain adapts to this, which may be part of the reason why celebrities grow accustomed to their level of fame. Perhaps he had it right all along: shoot for the moon, land among the stars.
He does, however, have a bunch of projects lined up for , which could take him to the level that he wants to be at very quickly. Brad Pitt gained and kept hold of his prestigious success for more than a decade.
His career swelled up after starring in Interview with the Vampire in , and then went from strength to strength with movies like Se7en, Snatch, and Fight club. He was also renowned for playing characters that were different to the typical "Hollywood heart-throbs" that most prominent actors went for.
However, after meeting Angelina Jolie and gaining a large family of adopted children, Pitt felt that it was necessary to put his acting career on the back burner. As with Robert Pattinson, Amber Heard had the misfortune of being in a relationship that blew up more than her career. Unfortunately, her career stopped moving after that.
Shortly after she started dating Johnny Depp, her publicized romance became a main focal point, taking the focus off of her and her career. Nowadays, Heard is still very much in demand, but she might have been bigger had she not met Depp. Madonna is the queen of reinvention when it comes to music, but her career as an actress didn't evolve in the same way. Madonna kicked off her acting career with major hits like Desperately Seeing Susan and Dick Tracy , but she also did a ton of really terrible '80s movies.
With this movie, she managed to bag herself a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy and was nominated for a bunch of other awards. We doubt Madonna cares that much though, as her real passion lies in music. You might remember Pheobe Cates from all-time favourite '80s horror film Gremlins. Although Cates had a huge career in acting during her youth from the '80s up until the mid-'90s , she dropped everything to dedicate her life to her family. She married her husband Kevin Kline in and the two are still together to this day.
While Kevin Kline has a flourishing acting career, having recently played Maurice in Beauty and the Beast , Cates went in another direction entirely and owns her own boutique in New York City. So, not necessarily. How does the lack of privacy in a celebrity's life affect their ability to maintain a healthy relationship? This issue of not having any privacy in public spaces is very difficult because the famous person starts to become almost agoraphobic, where they don't want to go out in public.
What makes it even worse is when the famous person doesn't have a nuanced appreciation and concern for the situation, and sort of basks in that glory without caretaking their partner. The partner would really have to grow a thick skin. Except that if [the celebrity] understands that and loves you and says, "You're the center of my universe, thank god I found you, you're all I care about," that goes a long way. What often times happens is that that awareness doesn't even occur to the celebrity.
Do you see how much self-awareness this takes? A lot! And as a clinical psychologist, I have to say a lot of this happens in the brain. Once you get used to [adulation], you do go into an addiction cycle. Your brain gets used to that, and once your brain gets used to that and you go home and it's normal, even great normal, you might miss it.
You point out the difficulty of being self-aware. Do celebrities have to work harder, in a way, to make relationships work? I don't think normal people need to have that level of self-awareness on a day-to-day basis.
I do agree with you, yes. They do need to be more self-aware. I think it is more difficult to be in a celebrity relationship. You would find more celebrity marriages making it if the famous person understood the dynamics of fame on their partner and their children.
It's normal to be self-conscious of how our partners come off to our friends and family. Do you think celebrities feel that way on a larger scale: Do they think about how their partners will come off to the public? I wouldn't just limit it to famous people. I would attribute it to any person who is [in a position] that calls for arm candy or trophy spouses — that would be true also of CEOs, etc. In my study, a chief surgeon at a local hospital experiences the same level of fame as a movie star because within their community they get the same adulation.
The brain's responding the same way. That means that sharing information about yourself psychologically feels good. People can be motivated to share information about themselves online because of the internal reward of dopamine. People seeking fame may be looking for a platform to disclose more information about themselves because of the positive feelings associated with sharing personal information.
The connection between dopamine and self-disclosure also explains narcissism. Narcissists feel a rush of dopamine when they talk about themselves, which is why they continue to do so. These people often only talk about themselves or things that are related to them because it feels good to do so. Overall, people desire fame because they are seeking external validation and attention.
Social media, such as Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, and more have made looking for this type of attention fast, fun, and convenient.
These platforms allow those seeking fame to potentially reach millions of people. Although wanting to be famous is not necessarily a bad thing, it may be wise to examine the drivers.
For example, insecure self-esteem, which can cause the desire for fame, can also negatively impact other parts of your life. Luckily, there are ways to improve self-esteem stability and overall, increase emotional intelligence.
