Is it good to be a celebrity’s kid?

Please answer this question before reading.

Do you know them?
1 Brooklyn
2 Shiloh
3 Suri

I guess that one of you will know all of them. They are celebrity’s kids. Brooklyn is Beckham’s son, Shiloh is Jolie’s daughter, and Suri is Cruise’s daughter. When I was young, I wanted to be a celebrity’ kid because many people would try to please me and some people would give me some privileges to do something such as going to the place which is allowed only staffs. However, my idea is changed, and I also think whether celebrity’s kids want to be normal kids.

According to “Nicole Kidman announces baby born through surrogate”, Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, have announced that on 28 December 2011, their new baby daughter, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, was born through surrogate.

After I read this article, I wonder that what will happen with Faith, whom people have known since her was born. Because she is a daughter of celebrities, many people want to follow her news and want to know what she look like. Therefore, she is followed by paparazzi all the time in order to take her photographs to sell to newspapers like a case of Cruise’s daughter. I think this situation is terrible for people who enjoy solitary life, and more terrible if the paparazzi do immoderately as Princess Diana’s car crash. How will she grow up? However, Faith was born in a family which has everything for supporting her; I wish she grows up a beautiful girl.

  1. I didn't know any of them, but I do know the celebrity parents.

    Gift's response made me realise that for most of the celebrity kids I do know of, it's because of the problems they have: drug addiction, relationship problems and so on. The exception is the child actors from the Harry Potter films, especially Danial Radcliffe, who seems to have been able to manage celebrity very well. He isn't exactly the situation that Gift describes, but I think it is similar: he started acting the role of Harry Potter when he was eleven years old, and has been famous ever since. He certainly seems to have grown up better with his celebrity status than people like Lindsay Lohan and McCauley Culken.

    I think it's too late for me to worry about the problems of being a child star.

    I did see the headlines, but did not actually read the stories about the birth of Nicole and keith's baby. I hadn't realised it was a surrogate pregnancy, and that aspect of it also interests me. So I might do a bit more reading on it. There might be a good essay question in there somewhere.

  2. I think, if someone to be a celebrity’s kid is quite good. They always have several special things and particular time by others. For example, they can meet another famous person easily and they can receive a good strategy how to be a famous person longer. Moreover, others often give the privilege things to them. On the other hand, they hardly have a private time with their families because fans want to know about everything in their life. But, if I can that I prefer to be a famous person because I can do many useful things to other people.

  3. I saw this news also. I almost selected the news to write a post, but I didn't. However, I agree with you that celebrity kids were annoyed by Paparazzi. Being observed by strangers all the time can effect considerably to those kids in both good and bad result. For good consequence, they could easily adapt themselves to other people and also to any situation, especially when that situation is under pressure. If those kids think and act positively to the strangers, they can behave in good ways as a result. On the other hand, they could also behave in the wrong ways as Linsay Lohan, if they think that being watched is very irritating. The important point is that celebrity parents should cultivate their kids for the situation that they will confront with while they are growing up. The kids should be gradually taught how to accept the truth about their parents’ lives as well as their life in the future, so that they can have good aspect on their lives.

  4. I forgot to talk about bad result from being watched day and night. For bad consequence, they can be harmed by those who have mental disorder including paparazzi. The lunatic may follow them all the time and do something to terrify the kids. That’s why they are always with bodyguards. So they should be taught how to deal with it.

  5. I know them all and they're lovely. Other children may think that they're so lucky to be celebrity's kids. They have beautiful clothes, expensive toys and everything they want. However, they also lose something, their privacy and maybe freedom also. They may not happy to be followed by paparazzi all the time. However, what they can do are to be familiar with this because it's their lives. In the future, they may make their choices what they'll be.

  6. For your choices, I do not know them all. At first, I think they are actors or actresses from famous kid movie since I see their names which are not normal. Actually, I only know their parents. I do not want to be a son or a daughter of the famous person because I do not want to grow up under my parent’s shadow. Could you imagine everyone calling you in the name of your parents? For example, somebody will call you the son of mr.x. Another example, you are the daughter of the most beautiful actress and by accidence you are not beautiful. How do people talk or gossip about you? I cannot imagine.

    I remember a time not long ago when I read the famous artist coming to Thailand. She and her daughter or son, which I don’t remember exactly, were suffering from jet lag then many journalists came to take her photographs. Lighting from many cameras flashed on. At that time, she was too much angry and came to hit on one journalist. No escape for that journalist, she could not blame. I think that event is struck in her daughter’s experience quite so long or it might be she cannot delete it.

    Finally, I want to finish my comment but one more example emerges. Jolie, she is the daughter of famous Hollywood actor. Do you think she seems perfectly normal? I do not think so. I think her daughter will have an unusual life more than Kidman’s kid. OMG!! It’s such a gossip Hollywood :D
