Do celebrities REALLY work as hard as normal people do?

Question

Normal people meaning, doctors, lawyers, politicians, etc.
(I count over-paid athletes as celebs also.)

I mean, sure, they're BUSY, but does that mean they work hard studying for their MCATS, or things like that? NO.

All the do is be busy going around the world, making a better name for themselves, and making for friends, by telling the media, "Oh, I was so busy yesterday, I had a photoshoot, interview, AND had to fly to Switzerland for Paris Hilton's birthday."

Answer 1

no way. they go to a party and call it work.

Answer 2

Hm, you mixed up different things here. Actors and musicians are certainly very busy. It may seem easy but if you tried it for a while, you'd see - and you have to have that special something, on top of it all. Penis Hilton, n the other hand, has family money so her life is just traveling, getting stoned, drinking and gang-bangs. She is overpaid as soon as she gets $1.
Buut I have to say that I find lawyers, politicians and most doctors well overpaid, too. Politicians, more than anyone, should be paid average wages only - or, iin the case of the current cabinet, not a dime.

Answer 3

I am an epileptic. The work I do at a restaurant stresses me so much that it has caused me to have seizures. Show Biz and being on the go sure would cause me to have a lot. Think about all the songs, scripts, interviews, appearances and autographs. It sounds like murder to me. I couldn't be the Simpson Sisters, Nick Lachey and Beyounce. I would be nervous wreck. I don't see how Nick and Vanness and Jaz-y and Beyounce implement endures the magazines and jungle careers and relationships.
How do the child stars do it? Imagine giving up the childhood like the Olsens, Brittany and Justin. I couldn't do that. At least all of them aren't Todd Bridges, Dana Ownes, Willie Aimes and Adam Rich.

Answer 4

They also spend months away from their families shooting films around 16 hours a day. They have the pressure of having to work out and constantly watch what they eat because their bodies are constantly under observation. They might not be as smart or have as mentally challenging of a job as a doctor or lawyer, but I would say they work hard. They don't have to study for their MCATS, but they constantly have to study scripts, and if that's something we haven't done we couldn't say it wasn't difficult.

Answer 5

It all depends on what you think of as working hard. The example you gave sounds like a pretty stressful day to me, I don't think I could keep a schedule like that up for even a week.

The work loads are always lighter in different career paths.

Answer 6

Regardless of what we are doing and how often we are doing it, we all think of our job as the most difficult in the world. I'm sure photo shoots are a pain in the butt, and so are book signings. But, I don't think George Clooney spending six months on set, sleeping in a trailer and having to deal with two hours of make-up is being put out as much as a brain surgeon. I don't think they have it easy, because acting is a talent like any other, and they aren't handing Oscars out at premiers, but let's face it. Being catered to is part of their job, and they have stylists and assistants to help with everything else...so, no I don't think they have to put as much effort into their lives as we do.

Answer 7

Well some of them work as hard as us. I really respect celebs who've accomplished great things on top of having a successful career like Natalie Portman who has been in amazing movies plus she is a Harvard Graduate. She deserves major kudos for that.

Answer 8

because of the fact all of us know of there is not any such ingredient as a classic demanding working American kinfolk. Their redneck hicks scrounging from the morsels the companies throw out. enable them to purchase a bright gun and a porno magazine and that they think of their living in a loose united states of america. Celebrities on the different hand have money and means to circulate stay everywhere except demands are met.

Answer 9

I am actually friends with a so-called "Celebrity"

He is a movie actor.

While he is busy, he very rarely physically exerts himself for a role or for work. He does study lines very hard, and he is constantly in "observation" to gain more perspective on whatever character he is playing.

So in a sense they do, and in a sense they don't

Answer 10

WELL......not exactley. The celebrities get publicity, we get bad reputations. celebrities make !!-MILLIONS-!! were lucky if we make 50k. But we have no idea what you have to do to get to the point of being a celebrity, and i dont know if most of us have what it takes

Answer 11

Well in order for them to become celebrities - they had to work hard - and inorder to stay as a celebrity - they too need to work hard....
