Sep 1, 2016I remember when I saw Joakim Noah at the New Era store in NYC like 6 years ago. The store was relatively empty, he was by himself. He's famous for an athlete and because of his height and build, even people who don't know him can guess that he plays a sport. I realized he was in the store when a dude started screaming like a little girl. "OMG it's you! OMG it's you! I can't believe it! Hold on, I need to take a picture! OMG!". I turned around and looked at Joakim's face and he did not seem amused. He took the picture but you can tell he just wanted to check out the hats and mind his business. I considered taking a pic with him but I just said hello and kept it moving. I didn't want to bother him. He probably gets bombarded by fans a lot. And it's flattering that people want to take a picture with you and get your autograph but I imagine it's also annoying after awhile especially if you're outside with loved ones or just want to be by yourself. And he's a famous basketball player. That s--- is 100000x worse for someone like Drake or Jay or Rihanna. I really don't want to be famous. I think the people behind the scenes in the celebrity's lives are the ones who are really winning. They get paid well, they're part of the industry and they don't have to deal with the burden of being famous.

Wouldn't mind like a semi-level of fame if I did something worthy of it, but wouldn't want the kind of fame where you can't go outside without getting harassed by 100 people following me everywhere.
I do think it'd be really cool to be able to basically just make someone's day/week or whatever just by being nice for a few minutes and taking a pic/signing an autograph.Alpha, Ordinary Joel and CSW like this. -
