It is undeniable that there are many upsides to fame. You’ll enjoy a wealthy life, be loved by dedicated fans, and make friends with other stars. Despite their upsides, one of the downsides, as we all know, is that it becomes much harder to protect your privacy once you become famous. It happens exactly to celebs.
However, privacy is seen as a key to maintaining a strong reputation, both on and off the Internet. While fans always hope to see their favorite celebs in real life, some famous people rebel against these expectations and decide to protect their right to privacy. Some wear the same outfits whenever they go out of their houses, some hide from the paparazzi by donning giant helmets to cover their faces.
Here are 10 famous people who do anything to protect their privacy both in real life and on the stage.
