Do you think any of the people on that list are real? I mean, do they actually exist, in the same way that you or I exist, or this laptop exists? Or is it more like the way that, say, Sherlock Holmes exists?
I've always wondered.
I do think that all stars are just a persona... In that Eminem and Slim Shady is completely different than Marshal Mathers [and he alludes to that also in his music]. Same with Lady Gaga; I don't think she gets home from work and slips out of her meat dress and into a dress of pudding to get comfortable...it is all an act.
However, I'm sure some star's fronts are more true to actual personality than others. But I wouldn't compare them to Sherlock Holmes...if Robert Downey Jr. left this world, Sherlock Holmes would continue...if Marshal passed away, Eminem would not. I guess that would be due to Sherlock Holmes being the book character first and foremost... If you took a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean and tried to do it without Johhny Depp; that wouldn't work well since most people only associate the character with the movie.
