Which celebrity had the scariest secret life?
24-hour bullying, a never-ending pile of haters, anxiety, and peer pressure are some of the things the stars run through
What we can see from the life of the celebs is always a lot of fun, luxuries, trips, cars of the year and designer bags. Anyone could envy a life in which you do not need anything and everything seems to be very easy for them, but what many celebrities agree on is that it is really difficult - if not practically impossible - to have a quiet, private and normal life. Going anywhere is ensuring that someone takes your photo, and any little mistake, no matter how simple, can end up published. Here's what some of our favorite stars have to say about the dark side of fame.
1) Billie Eilish
The new pop music name that is everywhere is Billie Eilish. At just 17 years old, she is nominated for six Grammy Awards thanks to her first studio album, has seven singles with gold records and two songs with platinum records. She became a revelation when at 13 she recorded the single "Ocean eyes", which her brother originally wrote for her band, but decided to leave it to Billie in the end and even help her record it. The song went viral on SoundCloud and since then its fame has not stopped growing. But one of the things that has cost Billie a lot is dealing with the result of her mega hit, especially when she is so young. In an interview with the Dutch channel 3voor12, she said that she is basically miserable half the time. And although he doesn't necessarily mean it with a negative connotation, he says he missed having a normal adolescence because it all started when he was 13. He also says that no one prepares you for what awaits you, and that famous people and fame suck, but that being able to sing their songs in front of the public makes everything worth it.
2) Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid has been a model since she was two years old. She made her debut in a Baby Guess campaign, after which she didn't do anything else until 2011, when she was 14 years old. Her career took off quite quickly, and she has been the image of several campaigns, has been the cover of several Vogues internationally, has appeared on the Pirelli calendar, has been on the most important catwalks in New York, Milan and Paris, has been an ambassador Tommy Hilfiger, with whom he also launched a campaign, among a long etcetera.
For Gigi, what has cost her a lot due to her complicated schedule is maintaining friendships and being able to open up with someone, but at the same time, according to herself, she prefers to have a few bffs to have a lot of "friends" that as soon as a little, they accuse her of "having changed."
3) Kylie Jenner
For someone who has been in the public eye all her life, living with that should be a piece of cake - in theory at least - but Kylie Jenner knows better than anyone that this is not true. She has been in front of the camera lens since she was 10 years old, always being herself, which has put a lot of pressure on her to look good all the time and to try to somehow stand out from the rest of her family, and boy. She has done it: she has 152 million followers on Instagram, at 21 she is the owner of a very successful cosmetics company, Forbes included her on its Celebrity 100 list, thus becoming the youngest person to make the list, and the same publication estimates her worth at one billion dollars, making her the youngest billionaire in the world to date. And yet, Kylie confessed in an interview for Interview magazine that she wakes up at 7 a.m. with terrible anxiety because she fears something bad has been published about her and has said that her worst fear is finding something wrong about her on the internet.
4) Amy Schumer
For many, the peak of fame is being invited to events like the Met Gala, but for others, like Amy Schumer, attending those events is a nightmare. The comedian, who has always tried to be very honest about everything that happens in her life - and incorporates it both into her shows and into the scripts of the movies she has done - very honestly answered on The Howard Stern show that attending the Met Gala felt more like punishment. She said she felt like people pretending to have a conversation and hated the charade. She also added that "we are all dressed like a pinball ... stupid" and that she ran away as soon as she could.
Even when she met Beyoncé at the event, the singer asked her if it was her first Met Gala, and Amy replied that it was her last.
5) Justin Bieber
Another celebrity who started his way to fame very young is Justin Bieber. We've seen him go from being a talented YouTube kid, having his troubled “bad boy” stage, to this year, Christian, married, and much calmer than just a few years ago. His troubled years gave a lot of material to the press and his haters (who are not few) to criticize him. In this regard, he spoke with NME that fame and tours can leave you very alone and that this lifestyle can lead you to act impulsively and can even undo you. He also confessed that when he saw the documentary about Amy Winehouse (Amy, 2015), his eyes filled with tears to see what the media and people did to the singer, that even though it was very clear that she was hitting rock bottom and having a great time wrong, everyone was pointing at her and judging her, and she compared her own situation to that, saying that was what they tried to do with him. He also talked about the enforced isolation he has to go through to avoid the paparazzi and the loads of people who stand outside his hotel to see him and how depressing it is to live like this.
