人出名了是好事还是坏事呢？文章的结尾句对此作出了明确的回答。
Bruce Willis feels that too much importance is attached to what's written in magazine articles, since most of it is untrue anyway. He firmly believes he has a right to protect himself and his family from over-inquisitive reporters. “If the paparazzi start taking photos of my children and asking them questions, I just get in the way and teach them a few manners. Of course, they don't take too kindly to this, and the public is given the impression from what they read that I'm arrogant and rude. It's all very frustrating.”
Frustrating it may be, but how sorry should we feel for people like Willis? Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones certainly can't complain about journalists: it is said they were paid ￡1 million by OK!magazine for allowing its photographers to take exclusive pictures of their wedding. Of course, being in the public eye does have its drawbacks, but these are nothing compared with the positive aspects of fame. After all, if the publicity and pressure of fame get too much for the Douglas family, they can always escape to Michael's large house on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Fame is a wonderful thing—as long as you can afford to get away from it!
