1. Johnny Depp

Famous Hollywood actor johnny Depp

Considered one of the most versatile screen performers in history, American Hollywood actor Johnny Depp first appeared in a role in the 1984 horror movie, Nightmare on Elm street. But strangely his fame came not in cinema, but in television, when he starred in Popular TV series 21 Jump Street

Currently, Depp is seen as one of the most successful actors ever and has a string of great roles to his name.

But with regards to his immense fame, Depp confesses that he really loves what he does, but he does not like the fame that unavoidably comes with it. In his own words he described fame as “living like a fugitive.

2. Justin Bieber

Famous singer Justin Bieber

If you have never heard of Justin Bieber then let me give you a quick origin story: The Canadian pop sensation who's amazing talent came to light through popular video sharing site YouTube, is one of the most popular male singers in the world.

For him, fame came fast and strong! His 2009 debut album 'My World', sold almost 150,000 copies within its first week out! And he has never looked back since. But on several occasions he has expressed his dislike for his fame, saying that becoming famous when so young, was the Toughest thing in the world for him.

He cited how the lifestyle of the famous was destructive. Especially for younger people and child stars like himself.

3. Lady Gaga

Famous celebrity singer Lady Gaga

American singer and recording artiste Lady Gaga, shot to fame with a brand and persona that bordered on the Bizzare.

Her public antics, creative but crazy music videos, lyrics, dance moves and outrageous outfits drew her to millions and drew millions to her, both in terms of money and fanbase. Her social media followers combined go over a hundred million people!

But this uniquely talented singer and actress hates fame terribly. She described it as lonely. And also called it the single most isolating thing in the world.

5. Marlon Brando

 
Famous Hollywood actor Marlon Brando

He is reputed for bringing a depth to acting and movies never before seen in Hollywood. His very onscreen presence was powerful and captivating, earning him widespread acclaim as probably the world's greatest actor ever.

Although Mr Brando has passed on, I added him to this list because he best summarized his disgust for acting, better than any other celeb before or after him.

He called actors liars, and called acting, an expression of neurotic impulse.

He is known for this famous quote “The only reason I’m in Hollywood is that I don’t have the moral courage to refuse the money.”

But Marlon Brando did refuse the Academy award he won for his iconic role in The Godfather in 1973. An act that shocked and still reverberates through the Academy's history till this day.

Of course there are many more celebs who do not like being famous. Stars like Game of thrones actor Kit Harrington, Three time Academy award winner, Daniel Day Lewis, Two time Oscar winner, Denzel Washington, Billie Eilish, Harrison Ford and many more extremely private celebs, who have a tendency to focus more on their art and less on the glitz and glamour that comes along with being famous.

Final thoughts: stars who shy away from the spotlight

I must say that these contrasting feeling are unfortunate for these talented and privileged individuals, because there are few things that light up a life like fame does, and even fewer things that mess it up like fame can.

But nothing is harder to forget than a prominent Celebrity. So these long-suffering stars will just have to swallow their disgust for fame, and keep basking in the spotlight they once desperately craved. For the sake of their fans at least. So what do you think about fame and it's effect on celebs. Let me know in the comments section what your take in this is. It's always great to hear from my fans and all.
