      Don’t get me wrong having fans is pretty cool, but sometimes there are fans that just go way over the border line and try to force something on the actor which is why they then get uncomfortable. I mean fans should know how to respect these people since they are still humans and want some privacy. Don’t be those type of fans that are always shoving for an autograph or waving your phone in front of them or stalking them and video recording them. A simple hello is just enough and if your polite enough you may get an autograph but don’t scream or overreact, just stay cool and there won’t have to be necessary conflict

    That last line "I love being me" is the heart of the message more than "I love the fame." Because if you're doing it just for the fame and compromising on what really resonates with your heart, then you will end up depressed in the long run. Will always loved being a performer and entertainer first and the fame gravitated towards him as a consequence. So never let fame be the cause of your drive. Let it be a consequence of it.

    Thank you for the advice on not letting people turn you dark because of their actions. I've struggled with this for a long time. Sometimes letting the fear and pain control me because of these attackers. It's hard but I'm still here 😘 Thank You! Mr. Smith for the STRENGTH

Trending page can change a UA-camr's life, Will Smith is worth 400 million dollars, is that the kind of UA-cam you want??? Hosting the most hated UA-cam video EVER made should open your eyes but I doubt it.

  • @sibernethysgamingadventure4138

    It helps to have a system for keeping most people at a safe distance. Will hit the nail on the head when he said "you have to learn how to fight and defend yourself from predators."
    I've had a small dose of fame a few years ago. If you have Discord or social media, you know you're experiencing a bit (or a lot) of fame, people will start approaching you. Don't accept friend requests from people you don't know. The only thing more dangerous than a troll is a fan, and especially a fan that has no self-control. I've been harassed online by a 13-year-old demon from Macedonia, simply because I'm friends with some famous UA-camrs from southeast Europe. People have tried to use me as a stepping stone in order to get to these other friends I have. It sucks, and it's not easy to shake some of these people off because of how obsessive they people can be once they find out that you're famous.
    First, they chase you, then they touch you, and then they sue you because you pushed them away. That's something every big celebrity can probably relate to. I hope that one day, I can educate large numbers of people on the needs, the rights and ways of celebrities, so that less people will misunderstand them when they act the way they do. It's a hard life sometimes because of the constant pressure they face from the public.

He's not living a life that bores him but one he likes to have and chose to work towards. I hope I can have a life congruent with who I am in every sense. Right now I know I'm living below my wants, needs and potential. I'm making changes going in that direction.

      I always wondered why folks cared so damn much about being "first"

    Will you've honestly always been my idol and biggest Role Model in Hollywood and music. I'm so inspired by your youtube channel and it definitely helps me stay motivated and devoted to being the best I can be. I only hope one day I get the chance to tell you in person how much of a great influence you have been on me as a person.

    okay i’m sorry but imagine hating on Will like there’s literally nothing to drag him for he’s so pure 😂

      I did when I was younger and worked in radio in Dallas. He wasn’t nice when we wanted a picture backstage. But as an older adult now, it’s nothing. I like his persona. I never outright like someone without knowing them.
