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.
Many celebrities, for instance, are known to be exceptionally rude people. They are mean to almost everyone they encounter, including their most ardent fans. This is most surprising when it comes from actors who are known for playing good-natured characters on television or in movies. A prime example would be Andy Griffith, whose reputation in real life was widely known to be - in many ways - the exact opposite of the affable characters he played, like small-town sheriff Andy Taylor played on The Andy Griffith Show, or southern lawyer Matlock.
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.
Last but not least, there are numerous celebrities with high IQs. While we often fawn over them because of their appearance, we tend to overlook the fact that many of these people are amazingly smart. For instance, Sharon Stone - who rose to fame in hits like Basic Instinct and the original Total Recall - is actually a member of Mensa with a reported IQ of 154.
Basically, celebrities are, in a lot of ways, reflections of the general public. Many of them are nice, others are jerks, and so on. The difference is that people are more interested in seeing (and often get to observe) celebrity personalities on display.
