I have never been able to understand people who can't separate fantasy from reality. It's amazing to see how many people seem to forget their television show characters are just that. They aren't real people they are actors playing a part. They know somewhere deep down they're actors but I'll see crazy people commenting on actors Instagram and Twitter accounts about how they need to leave their spouses and be with whoever plays their love interest on the show they watch.
People are so disrespectful. I often feel bad for celebrity spouses who have to put up with it especially those that aren't actors as well because they signed up for all of this crazy. Just because two actors have chemistry doesn't mean they are destined to be together. It's like they want to relive their show through the actors. I also see those who want the actors to leave their spouses to be with them and will be forward enough to say as much. I understand celebrity crushes I have several of my own but I can respect they have relationships and even admire the ones who stay with their spouses instead of divorcing them only a few years after marriage. I love when I see them staying with their wives. I even respect their spouses for having to put up with all of the craziness. That can't be easy to deal with.
My husband and I were talking about it and admitted we wouldn't like having to put up with that sort of thing or having to watch each other have love scenes with someone else. Celebrity spouses have to deal with it and are probably used to it but for us, it's just something neither one of us would like. That takes a lot of trust in your partner. I mean I'm not the jealous type but I wouldn't particularly want to watch my husband having a love scene with someone else. I have to give the non-celebrity spouses credit for dealing with it all. I imagine it's a small price to pay to be married to who they're married to.
I was watching an interview where Pierce Brosnan who gushed over his wife and admitted he wouldn't like watching his wife who isn't an actress have a love scene with someone else and he loves how much trust she has in him. It amused me considering his first wife who died was also an actress so I'm sure he had to put up with it some. Although, based on interviews I feel like his first wife was a lot more like a manager than a wife but I could be wrong. His current wife seems more down to earth than his first wife but you really don't know what goes on behind closed doors.
I mean I have my fair share of celebrity crushes but I'm happy with my husband. I once jokingly told my husband if one of his celebrity crushes ever actually wanted him they could have him because let's face it this isn't ever going to happen I told him to just send me some child support and we could all be happy. Clearly, I was kidding. I don't care that my husband has celebrity crushes much the same way he doesn't care that I have mine because we're human and they're not real crushes. We obviously like these people for what they show the media and not for who they are because we really don't know them. We just know they're attractive and what they decide to show the public and we have no clue who they really are.
I can say they seem a certain way but have no clue how they actually are. That's why I don't understand some people who get a little too into their crushes. It's one thing to crush on them it's another to think they'd ever actually leave their spouse for them. I completely respect the spouses of my celebrity crushes and I admire them for putting up with everything they have to put up with. I can't imagine it's easy having to share them with the world. It's why I'm grateful for my relationship with my husband. My husband is home with me every night and makes time for me and I don't have to worry about a bunch of women hanging off of him partially because my husband is a grumpy old man who doesn't like many people. He once told me that he didn't need friends because he had me and our son and we were all he needed. My husband would rather spend time with me than go out with friends. He invites me to go to things with him and while I've told him he could go hang out with friends he doesn't want to but he's ok with me hanging out with friends without him even though I have invited him and he's ok with not going.
I think the idea of being with a celebrity is something people think about without fully realizing everything it would entail. They give up their privacy and don't get the alone time they would get with the average person. People have a tendency to romanticize everything. I mean who doesn't want a great looking person who seems to have an award winning personality and have a ton of money? That sounds great in theory until you realize what all you have to give up to "have it all". Fame comes with a price some people aren't fully willing to pay. I will keep my celebrity crushes but I'm not crazy enough to think they'd leave their spouse for me nor do I think they'll be with whatever love interest they had in some movie or show when they love who they're already with. It happens sometimes but most of the time it doesn't. They're just an actor playing a part and the fact that some people seem to buy it I guess says a lot about their acting and/or the person's inability to separate fantasy from reality.

I think its part of their territory to be exposed to the public and get criticize for being this and that. I think most seasoned actors and actresses are already immune by their followers because they earn from that and it also is a gauge of how good they are at their craft since if people react like they thought it was reality for them then the actor is able to deliver his character well with his audience.
I also seen our own local actors portraying roles like they were bad or a mistress in some of their roles. Some people still thinks that that actress/actor did it in real life. But these actors/actresses chides this away because they know they are only doing their role in the movie or show. What they usually do is to have a personal show in public with their co-actors/actresses so that public would realize they are there for the movie/tv series.

@sissy15 I can understand your point there but that is something most of these actors are already aware of and they are taking risk of it for the craft they love to do.. It is more like politics in some ways you would lose some kind of private life that most of us enjoys but they have to contend with it to do their jobs.

@rsa101 Some don't. Some people have it sort of forced on them without realizing what they're signing up for and some get used to it as they age. Then there are child actors whose parents signed them up for it. It's not always a fair trade. I think having privacy is so much more important. I love celebrities that are good to their fans and stop to sign photos and I hate when I see celebrities that were complete jerks to their fans but that being said I can also understand wanting to have some privacy. I can understand wanting to go out with your spouse and not having to worry about constantly being interrupted. Celebrities sign up for it but their family often doesn't. Imagine being out with your father or mother and having someone constantly come up to the table to interrupt your time with them. Imagine going outside of your own home and having people out there taking unflattering pictures of you. I mean yeah they signed up for it but I don't know that they always realize the scope of fame at least not at first. They obviously know some of it but probably not the reality of all of it until it's happening.

I think they're used to a lot of it but constantly having your privacy invaded has to get to them. Their spouses, if they aren't from the business, are going to have a harder time with it. I can understand sometimes the acting is good but I've never forgotten they're real people who are usually much different than the characters they play so it amazes me that some people can't seem to understand that. I think a lot of people only think about the bright side of fame but they don't put enough thought into the downside of it. I mean actors are real people with real lives and their real lives are constantly invaded and while they signed up for it, it still can't always be easy to deal with.
