Let's face it: the general public has always had - and probably always will have - a certain fascination with celebrities. They have wealth, power and influence that most of us can only dream about. That being the case, we often have a tendency to forget that - underneath it all - they are still people. Moreover, they tend to have the same traits, vices and virtues that the rest of us have.
For instance, a number of Hollywood stars and celebrities are known to to be just downright nasty, mean people. They'll unload both barrels on anything and anybody having the misfortune to be in range: fans, colleagues, you name it. Unsurprisingly, one of the most notorious people to fall into this camp is model Naomi Campbell. She is quite famous for her temper tantrums, and has been known to physically attack her assistants, staff members, and even law enforcement officers.
On the flip side of the equation, some celebrities have a reputation for being exceptionally nice. They are approachable, congenial and often go out of their way to let their fans and other people around them know how much they are appreciated. Keanu Reeves, for example, is regarded as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. One well-known story is that of a motorist who was stranded and Keanu pulled over to help her, eventually calling a tow truck and then giving her a ride home.
Finally, there are quite a few celebrities who are surprisingly bright in the area of intellect. In fact, some that you might least suspect have frighteningly high IQs. Chief among them is action hero Dolph Lundgren. Not only does Dolph have an undergraduate and master's degree in Chemical Engineering, he also received a Fulbright Scholarship to M.I.T.! He left shortly thereafter to make movies, but there's no question that the guy is smart.
In retrospect, it's easy to see that celebrities are simply people like everyone else. There will be nice celebrities, mean celebrities smart celebrities, and everything in between. We just happen to see their personalities being broadcast as opposed to kept private.
