Can Celebrities Lead a Normal Life?

The idea of fame is quite interesting; some people will do almost anything to become famous, while others would love a career in acting or politics without all the hype. One thing's for sure; fame isn't always what it's cracked up to be. So how can celebrities live a normal life?
Staying out of the Media The media is easily a celebrity's best friend and worst enemy. Because we offer the freedom of press in America, the media is given quite a bit of leeway in its attempts to get the truth. Celebrities have long begged for more protection from paparazzi and invasive reporters, but unless their name is being slandered, a celebrity doesn't have much defense. Staying out of the media as much as possible is a good start to leading a normal life; celebrities can be themselves, make mistakes and be human without a camera and a reporter there to pick up every detail.
Double Life Sometimes being a celebrity means you can't expect much privacy. Unfortunately, it's not just a fan here or a cameraman there. It can consume their lives. Every time they run to the grocery store or go out to lunch with a friend, they are bombarded with fans asking for autographs and pictures. Sometimes living a double life can help a celebrity feel more normal. They can create private social media accounts with a new alias. They can give themselves a nickname for only their friends to know about and they can use caller ID spoofing to make phone calls as their second identity. Sometimes, celebrities have gone so far as dressing different in public or wearing wigs and sunglasses to hide their identity.
Becoming Involved Living a normal life means doing normal things, right? So when a celebrity gets involved in their community, it's one of the most normal things to do. Working with a charity, or helping out at their children's school can really help a celebrity feel normal. It removes them from the stresses of Hollywood and gives a whole different group of people a chance to know them. Sure, people will probably be a bit fame struck at first, and will act weird around the celebrity, even in a normal setting. But after everyone realizes a celebrity is just like them— a concerned citizen or parent, they start to get to know them for who they are, and not just the fame.
