In one of her interviews, she discussed how her profession influences her friendships and how she copes with them. “I’ve lost a lot of friends because I’ll get busy for a short period of time, and they’re not reaching out, but if I don’t reach out, then it’s like I’ve changed,” she claimed.

All of this media attention diverts attention away from what truly matters in terms of what actors do. Brad Pitt said of press tours, which are an unavoidable aspect of film releases. In his words: “Somehow, you’re not supporting your film if you don’t get out on a show and talk about your personal life.”

Being famous also means continuously having to deal with rumors and gossip that appear out of nowhere. Julia Roberts, like many other celebs, had to cope with the rumor mill early in her career. “It’s so absurd and frustrating. Why should I have to explain something that’s never been an issue in my life?”

Ford considers fame to be a "burden" on humans and has stated that he has never appreciated it. “There’s nothing good about being famous,” said Ford. He also hates the loss of privacy. “You never figure the cost of fame will be a total loss of privacy. That’s incalculable.”
