When You’re Famous

Being famous can be difficult. Those who become famous usually see their life change a lot.
Their friends don’t treat them like they did before. People want them to be like what they want,
and everything they do and say is in the public eye! Here are two people who talk about their experiences:

Ashley: ‘Some people’s story is like this: they become successful and then famous.
Mine is different. I became famous on Instagram, then I was successful.
I make funny animations and post them on YouTube and Instagram. I did it as a hobby,
but now I’m getting more and more followers every day. They’re asking me for better animations.
Some companies want me to show their products in my videos. I can earn lots of money this way.
Right now, there are two people working for me, and we can make better animations every day.
Did my life change after success? Not much!’

James: ‘I made a short film about my mother, and the video became very popular.
Right now it has 20 million views on YouTube. After that, my friends became nicer to me,
I got lots of Instagram follow requests, and I got calls from studios.
I go to film-making classes and have accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
I was never a popular boy in school, but now I’m a celebrity.
I think I need to relax a little bit and go offline because being famous isn’t what makes me really happy all the time.’
