Life in Hollywood seems to be the epitome of a glamorous and unique society. Hollywood movie stars are well-groomed, rich and famous. However, behind a beautiful picture there are always hidden secrets.
“Forced” relationships
When the peak of a star’s popularity passes, media managers often advise actors to start a relationship that makes the public curious, or it can also create scandals.
Producers also often “fabricate” romance stories between stars to attract attention before launching new projects.
The secret to beautiful photos
Stars are being chased by paparazzi. Their photos are scattered across popular publications and the Internet.
In some images, the stars appear in stunning looks. The secret to success lies in the fact that celebrities have “bribed” the paparazzi in advance, because this is an opportunity for them to express themselves favorably. Not everyone recognizes this scam.
Avid fans of stars naively believe that their idols are simply always photogenic and great in any photo, even if they don’t pose intentionally.
Not everything goes smoothly
From the outside, it seems that Hollywood stars hardly have any problems, but this is not true. They also had extremely difficult times, times of crisis and material difficulties.
Many actors have mental disorders, but not everyone can share about it with the public. There are many famous people in Hollywood who have been forced to see a psychotherapist and regularly take antidepressants.
Anorexia syndrome
In the showbiz world, many Hollywood stars suffer from eating disorders. It is becoming increasingly common for celebrities to suffer from anorexia.
Artists always have a need to look more attractive, otherwise they will face a decline in reputation and income. The problem is that not everyone immediately understands that they have anorexia and that this is a dangerous disease.
Age discrimination
Many stars (not only female but also male) hide their real ages, saying it is a mandatory measure. This is explained by the fact that over the years it has become more and more difficult to get well-paid roles.
However, that cannot cover up the “unwritten” rule about age discrimination among Hollywood actors. In fact, this is the reason why the age issue of actors is always covered up.
Animal cruelty
Nowadays, movies with the participation of animals have become very popular. At the beginning or end of films or promotional videos, producers always state that no animals were harmed during filming.
But this does not always comply with the commitments made. In order for animals to follow a set script, they may be starved, beaten, and kept in unsuitable conditions.
For example, in the movie “Life of Pi”, the image of an emaciated tiger appeared both literally and figuratively. During the filming of the movie “The Hobbit”, nearly 30 animals actually died.
“Additional” actors at the Oscars
At the Oscars, there were many “contract workers” hired to participate. This is explained to increase the meaning of the award in the eyes of the audience.
Many people think that only stars and their relatives were present at the event, but that is not the case. The majority of those present were “contract employees”.
In the hall, they perform their duties and receive a fee for this. But at the same time, “contract workers” do not have access to famous guests, nor do they try to communicate with them. All specific content is clearly stated in the contract they must sign.
Bid for stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
It turns out it’s true that celebrities pay up to $30,000 for this. Because of such an expensive price, not all celebrities aspire to receive this award.
However, currently in Hollywood there are more than 2,500 five-pointed stars named after prominent figures who have contributed to the development of art and cinema.
“Casting Couch” – Exchange love for a role
This term means that some actors and actresses are willing to do anything to get a role in a movie. Actress Megan Fox once said that she knew of many examples when actors in pursuit of fame sold themselves on the “casting chair”. In society, this is condemned, but such cases are not unique in Hollywood.
Substance abuse
Some celebrities have a habit of using illegal drugs. However, sometimes it is the film producers who encourage bad habits.
Some information exposed in the media shows the truth that stars can ask for any kind of drugs and they will definitely get them. Actor Jack Nicholson spoke out about his addiction to drugs while filming the movie “The Shining”.
After that, the filming organizers were forced to pay all rehab costs for this actor.
There are many secrets hidden behind the glamor of the Hollywood world. The above are just the most common downsides of the world of fame and fortune. In fact, similar problems may exist even more and continue to be hidden.
