edcam Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 As exciting as it might be to see someone you're impressed by, the greatest honour you can do them is to leave them alone and let them go about their business. Unless they are a reality tv "star", most well known people would prefer to be left alone.

Jeremy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't totally agree edcam, if someone has chosen to pursue a career in the public eye then they have to expect a certain amount of this kind of thing (although clearly there are limits).Although I agree with what maxxi said, it's really not particularly surprising that the odd celebrity pops up, even one as apparently high calibre as this.

Can't remember who it was now but remember an A lister saying exactly this, they just said they wanted people to leave them alone whilst they were eating, but other than that they felt posing for photos or signing autographs was part of their (VERY well paid) job.

edcam Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I agree to an extent that it is to be expected but still think it's not unreasonable to be allowed to go about your business without your personal space being constantly invaded.Jeremy Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> I don't totally agree edcam, if someone has chosen> to pursue a career in the public eye then they> have to expect a certain amount of this kind of> thing (although clearly there are limits).> > Although I agree with what maxxi said, it's really> not particularly surprising that the odd celebrity> pops up, even one as apparently high calibre as> this.

lesalden Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I can never understand why people you see on television or films are regarded as 'famous'. They are just doing a job they are good at - the same as a solicitor or a carpenter.When you see one of these people sitting next to you in the doctor's waiting room or eating egg and chips in the BBC canteen you realise they are just ordinary people doing an ordinary job. They deserve not to be pointed at in the supermarket aisle.Politicians are the only ones who deliberately put themselves in the public eye.

Jeremy Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 edcam - well there's a limit. But I would of thought that someone coming up to you and shaking your hand is surely well within that limit. It's not like he was being mobbed by selfie-stick wielding morons.lesalden - film stars are doing an ordinary job, and haven't deliberately put themselves in the public eye? Couldn't disagree more.

Otta Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 "Politicians are the only ones who deliberately put themselves in the public eye."That is utter nonsense.I'm not suggesting that anyone should have any ownership over their private lives, but if you choose a career as an entertainer of any sort, then by definition you are choosing to put yourself in the public eye. In fact your success in your chosen career (actor / comedian / band member) depends on what the public think of your performance.

red devil Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You can't lump actors all together, some want the attention, others don't. In the case of DDL I'd say it was the latter...
