Being a celebrity: pros and cons.

Nowadays many people claim that being a celebrity has a lot of advantages, whereas others disagree with this opinion and believe that celebrities have a very stressful life.
As for me, being a well-known person brings a huge number of advantages. Firstly, it opens up numerous career opportunities as everybody might want to have a famous person to work with. Secondly, prominent people often have a chance to meet interesting ones such as writers, artist, photographers, and so on. Furthermore, celebrities have a saturated life full of exciting trips, positive emotions and participations in different shows.
Nevertheless, there are some who think ("reckon" is a slang word in this case) that fame means having a lot of stress. They also think that celebrities are discussed and envied all the time, and these factors influence them. Moreover, the gossip that people spread may be a reason for them to start being addicted to drugs and alcohol.
It may be true, but I cannot fully agree with it. It seems to me that through discussions of life, people become more independent from others’ opinions and do not pay attention to them.
Taking the pros and cons into consideration, I want to say that being famous might be quite stressful for some people, but if a person is able to get used to such a rapid pace of life, it can be beneficial for them. (Using "him" indicates a certain person or someone but you were talking quite generally throughout this text.)
