The former 1990s icon James Van Der Beek spoke to Vulture this week about life in 1998. At one point, the reporter asked him if it is harder for today’s teen stars like Justin Bieber. The Dawson’s Creek actor agreed with this sentiment.
Absolutely, 100 percent. Those kids — No. 1, they’re so young. No. 2, they’re under such an intense microscope. And there’s a lot more money to be made off of them than there was when I was famous. I mean, I don’t know. I just don’t judge. It’s very easy. People love to judge. People love to be self-righteous. They get a lot of energy from that.
Listen: Fame is not hard. Right? Being a soldier is hard, digging ditches is hard, coal mining is hard. But it’s tricky. It’s not something you can ever get any sympathy for, nor should you, and it’s not something you can really explain to someone who hasn’t gone through it. But it’s tricky because … you’re the same. You feel generally like the same person, but the behavior of everyone around you starts to change.
I do agree, unless you have ever been in that position, i highly doubt that you can understand the kind of pressure having such a high profile in this kind of society but mayeb most people would be kinder if they try put themselves in these young celebrities´ shoes. I can bet it´s tricky keeping personal stuff hidden because people always want to know what is going on, they just make it look easy.
