Shining Stars- Pop Stars- Movie Stars- and Starstruck?

I've watched a Disney movie before called Starstruck. Here's an overview:

A girl's sister is obsessed with a movie/music star(portrayed by Disney's Sterling Knight). The girl HATES him. She thinks he's nothing but some guy. But one day, she bumps into him and hurts her head. The music star thinks it's such a hassle, and acts as if he is so much better than her. At some point, he ends up hurting her feelings by telling the public that they've never met.

 Well!

This is what the main character, Jessica Olsen, says:
You just take a normal guy and build him up as some amazing person who's really just like all of us. You bring him up high, just to knock him back down for fun.

Here's me:
That's true. It's the first time I've seen a movie like that, that truly addresses what a star's life must be like. I think that movie stars and famous singers have to build up a fake "person", a mask, to hide who they really are. If they slip up, if they show their imperfection, the crowd will roar at that person who is so high up, and knock them down. But do the actors in the Starstruck movie themselves know what it's really like? Can they see themselves back at the level of an average, everyday person like you and me?

Fame corrupts you. You think you are so much better than everyone else.It'd be real interesting to see every famous person become average, unrich, non-popular and have less privileges, and not have fans screaming for them. I wonder how they'd feel, to not be famous. Do they remember what it's like to have been one of us?
