They're actors and they're paid for their work, not to cater to the whims of strangers.




I get what you're saying Rep, I do. And I'm definitely not saying that people are entitled to anything from celebrities. Just that, you know, it would be nice I guess. I mean for people who are into that sort of thing (autographs, a quick pic with a celeb). I personally would just keep going. I'd notice them and be like (inside my head), "hey that's <insert celeb here>, that's pretty cool". And keep on my way. That's what I've always done in the past in my rare celebrity encounters.

But yeah, assuming that this person isn't getting mobbed by a throng of people hounding them for an autograph, or in a private moment (like sitting down at a table for dinner for example) -- if it's like a one on one encounter and someone asks politely for a quick autograph...I don't see the harm.

I'd like to think that I'd make every effort to do so if I was a celebrity...but then again I guess I'll never truly know because I think it's safe to say that I'll never be in their shoes in my lifetime :wink:

That's exactly what I did
I didn't ask for anything. A handshake would have been OK. I didn't expect anything and I mentioned it hey I know you.

Not announcing it to everyone. I'm not photogenic myself I don't want a picture. Just told him. Please come back to anchorage. We say that to all artists. Now I live in Washington but you will not get a better reception than in Alaska. We're just happy to get any artist that rolls through.

I have quite a few friends that got a lot of weed for artists. Meth and red. Andre nickatina, atmosphere, tech n9ne, etc.

At the end of the day none of us live there as we scattered. But keep bringing music back. Not going to be as big as a major city but the small cities are the most appreciative.

Asking for an autograph is one thing  (intrusive but not a big deal)

Insisting that celebrities have no right to privacy or to desire privacy is another


I've only met a couple, one I ignored so he could do his thing, the other I had some business and ate dinner with
Next one gets a Sheekle portrait so they can find the salvation

People do have the right to privacy, but if one goes into that profession and thinks they can be completely private that's delusional. Part of the reason they would be famous is because of fans, it's sort of a catch 22 situation. If they weren't being idolized and fawned over they wouldn't have a career (depending on how far they want to go in the entertainment biz). They owe a certain amount of acknowledgement to the fans when out in public. Not to the point of it endangering them or hindering their dinner etc...but at least something if it's possible/convenient for them. They just shouldn't be dicks if people aren't dicks to them.

Is there ANY A-list celeb that does not do ANY interviews, sign autographs (of any kind), or do SOME kind of charity work etc... that requires them to be in a social setting where they are fawned over etc...I would say NO, there isn't. So they do owe some kind of acknowledgement in that way whether they like it or not. So they HAVE to do it at one time or another to get to a certain level.

By the same logic you owe society as well, all your work would amount to nothing without references, the people you're working with, your customers.

How much of your income are you donating to charities? How much time are you spending doing charitable work?

That is an expectation I have of people, within their means, singling out famous actors doesn't make sense, and privacy is one of the most important rights we have.
Celebrities are stalked and hacked, earlier it was said they don't have a place to complain about that.

I don't take your positions seriously, you didn't pay for their time, they don't owe you anything.

I paid for some of their time (in an off hand way) by buying a movie ticket or rental. Being in the public eye is part of that job as an actor, like I said, it's kind of a catch 22. Do you know of just ONE A-list celebrity that has NEVER given an interview or NEVER gone to a public event involving them directly interacting with some people?

You're evading the point, I don't care if they choose to do an interview, the point is they have as much of a right to privacy as anyone.
No one is justified breaking into their property, following them around, or hacking their emails.

They don't owe their privacy to anyone.

If they are eating dinner with their date, wife or family and you approach, then you are a major dick.. If they are hanging around the bar, and they seemed amenable, I would try to talk to them and see what happens.  I have watched their good movies about 40 times. If I talked to Robert Deniro, or Harvey Keitel or Dustin Hofmann or Edward Norton ever and they  decided they might talk to me for 5 minutes, I swear they would talk to me for 15 minutes, I would never ask them for their autograph.

I agree here 100%.

They don't owe their privacy to anyone.

Not entirely, but a certain amount must be "given up" if they want to attain a certain level in their chosen career. How else would they be stars if not for the fans?

I would still like you to name just ONE celebrity that did not give autographs and do social things to get to a certain level in that business. I don't think its possible. Once they are an established A list celebrity they can pretty much not do any interviews etc...but that might put a damper on their career. Some people have been ruined by interviews due to their true character showing through.

Everyone loved them but they turned out to be dicks. I went into nursing to help people and contribute to society in that way. Acting in movies helps people escape reality for a moment in time, it is magical when one is entranced by a good movie, song, opera etc....performers are actually helping people in ways they don't realize sometimes. (imho) I think it comes down to a case of "biting the hand that feeds" at times.

Interviews are public not private, they're also voluntary.

We're talking about two different things here homes

Is there any actor/actress that has NEVER given one public appearance and never ever shook hands or given an autograph while being very famous and an A-list celebrity? (I'm going to say no) I don't think it's possible, it would be contradictory to the very thing they are trying to do! It seems to me that is part of the draw of celebrity life, the public adulation and applause/attention.

I can see how after many years of signing autographs and shaking hands etc...it might get frustrating and bothersome, but there seems to be absolutely NO WAY one can get "famous" and be an A list high profile celebrity without shaking hands and signing autographs. So they owe their fans some amount of attention on order to get to a point where they can say fuck them! LOL!:grin:

I don't think I'd ask for an autograph in a random encounter type situation with someone famous. Just seems awkward.

I'm saying that there has to be a certain amount of privacy given up to attain a certain level of celebrity status. That would imply that the actor/actress that desires complete privacy and doesn't want to sign any autographs/shake hands/be approached in public (reasonably, not interrupting dinner etc...) probably won't get very far in the biz (when starting out at least). It seems like a contradiction to the job to be completely and totally private.:shrug: I know a pretty famous guy who is close friends with clooney, I'll ask him when I go to Texas what his take is. He has been around the biz enough to give an informed answer. (Tommy Hinkley)
