If you became famous somehow, how would you project yourself to the public/fans? How would you talk? How would you dress? How would you behave? Where would be? What would you do? How would you spend your money? How would you use your fame? What would be your overall public persona?

I'm an all or nothing kind of person, so I would probably either be a larger than life figure with outrageous costumes, lavish spending and lots of promotion and entertaining whimsy OR I would be a mysterious, eccentric recluse who dresses like a bum when I go get groceries. Anything in the middle isn't worth the publics interest, IMO.

I would rather be infamous.

Perhaps partially, but as we all know merc has found the perfect balance between gay and smart. He may peacock a bit, but not to the extent of lady gaga.

I'd be a massive wind up merchant. I'd talk shite and say stuff just to get a reaction. A sort of IRL troll I suppose.

Dude you don't need to be famous to IRL troll... I do it all the time.


I'd use my fame for two things. Pussy and drugs. So, not a lot would change except I'd get more of both and of better quality.

I troll people IRL all the time.

Like when two people are in a path and have to decide who goes to the right and who goes to the left - I mirror their movements on purpose.

i always wondered about this

does that mean hes a little bit gay and a little bit smart but not too much of each?

or does it mean that hes struck the balance between the two finding the perfect median between the two qualities- possessing neither but combining them into some kind of new uber-quality?

Aye but you could reach a much wider audience if you were famous.

I'd probably be a luxury recluse and/or traveling around in between whatever it is that's making me famous.

Indeed but it's a double-edges sword. Due to your exposure, your credibility would be diminished that much more. More people would know you, and thus know of your trolling ways. People who would seem anonymous to you would already know who you are and what kinds of things to expect from you.


It would be a great deal of fun though up until you destroyed your reputation as someone to take seriously.

I would just live my life, have my friends and family over and shit.. Just have fun get all the shit my friends and I would want, like wrestling ring for the back yard, a basketball court, spa and large swimming pool, private land for riding and partying, a legitimate drug collection etc.

The last thing I'd be worried about is putting on some front for the whole world to see, who cares about that. People get way to obsessed with famous people.

You're right about that. It's downright pathetic how some people are about famous people. It's like they have no pride of their own.

if i were famous id hope to act like my normal self. but it would be cool to have access to a podium where you can actually get people to listen to things you think are important.

i think some famous peopel are good about doing this and speaking our about charity and humanitarian activities. angeline jolie comes to mind

I'd put like 25% of my money into some charity then buy a kinda nice house, a Subaru Impreza WRX (with a rally kit on it), never run out of pot, then buy my mom a nice house and other stuff for putting up with me all these years.
