Could you ever date an actor or actress? To me, I couldn't do it simply because of the hype they always make about being in relationships with such and such just for the publicity. Besides, how would you know if your actor sexual partner really loved your or was just playing another role?
I don't think that's why most people can't date or have a relationship, and keep it steady, with an actor or actress. Their job is very demanding and takes that person away from home a lot, and that puts stress on the relationship, and jealousy also worms it's way in there as in normal relationships. I'd be up for trying it, but their worldly success would not determine their value as a romantic partner for me. Like anything else if their personality doesn't click with mine the relationship would be over before it started.
There are many high profile couples that manage to keep their relationships out of the limelight. They are still human beings. A fake is a fake is a fake. There are obviously many genuine people who also happen to be actors. When Angelina is free and has given custody of the kids to Brad - I'd be available.
I feel like your chances would be better if you knew someone was an accomplished actor, up front. It's really worse when you find out later.
Sean Penn does a lot of good work and says some things I agree with, but man does he still come off looking like he has a gigantic ego, even though he's not as materialistic as many of his counterparts
There are very few actors good enough to play like they are truly in love. That's why they always break up after falling for their own act.
I don't think so, but mostly because of their lifestyle (the public stuff, the interviews, the events that they have to attend...). Same with professional athletes.
I think we're all actors in one form or another. At least you would know upfront if were good at acting or not. I've been fooled by people that sure should have been an actor. They could be rich by now.
Everyone encounters deception in their life and it sucks to be honest. But the premise of the topic was could you handle being the partner of someone famous like an actor or actress. But I'm sure the same question is valid for anybody in the public sphere for their career.
Yet, I wonder if relationships really occur in the real world as they seem to do in Hollywood. Maybe it is just that the relationships in Hollywood are made public, but I doubt it. It does seem that people in Hollywood only get together for the media attention. They stay together for a short while, soaking up the attention, and then they break up just for more media attention when it seems the spotlight is being taken away from them. After all, everyone seems to be obsessed about who is with who in Hollywood.
