Acting around celebrities...?

Question

Because of my outgoing personality, I was hired for a job where I am around celebrities. I have had this job for almost 6 months now and my personality around them is anything but outgoing. I don't know if i'm star struck, afraid of saying something stupid, or taken back about who they really are. I'm afraid of being demoted if I don't start comming out of my shell - help!

Answer 1

Well, keep in mind, many celebrities thrive on being the center of attention, so you don't want to be too outgoing and outshine them.  Work on being extremely polite and a good listener, answer their questions if they have any, make eye contact when speaking to them, etc. but don't freak out about not being the most talkative person in the room-- let them be the stars they want to be.

Just say whatever you want.  Who cares what they say or think.  They are people just like anyone else.  I mean, yeah they are big stars,  but it seem like celebrities have more problems than people who are not celebrities.  Look at Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Bernie Mac, Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears and her sister.

They bleed like you do, they breath the same air, just say whatever you want.

Answer 4

Think of the money. Or think of not having a job if you don't act naturally. They are just people at the end of the day. Know that they are just like you but everybody knows of them. I would practice and talk to like a F lister than work my way up. Try a different celebrity everyday, you'll be okay!

Answer 5

if anything, you're not up to the job hired for if your 'specialty' seems failing miserably.

Take a deep breath and remember why/how/what you're there for and do your 'thang' :)
