The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it's the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge.
A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.
In 1820, the average lifespan was just 26 years. Twenty-six years!
People don't find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than any celebrity would have - don't find their personal lives interesting.
As life expectancy extends beyond 80 years in some parts of the world, more people are struggling with brain diseases. For older people, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other conditions become a major impediment to quality of life.
The amount of work you need to do to become a very successful celebrity is something I'm not prepared to do.
People are earning their living as 'celebrities' without actually doing anything.
I feel for anybody who has that level of celebrity where you can't lead a normal life.
No one longs to live more than someone growing old.
Actors never retire, they just get less and less work.
