Who is your favorite celebrity in your country?

Well, actually, I don't have a particular favorite celebrity as my interest leans more towards reading books than following movie and music stars. However, I do follow several online influencers whose content revolves around career insights, travel experiences, and different cultures.

Though they may not fit the conventional idea of being a celebrity, they wield considerable influence within the realm of the internet in my country. I find their perspectives and advice valuable, and through their work, I've broadened my knowledge, especially in areas related to professional growth and travel.

Do you pay attention to famous people in the news?

I do, but I'm not proactive in seeking information unless I have a genuine interest in a particular individual. I suppose in that way, I’m more reactive. The personal lives of celebrities, like a Hollywood movie star's dating life, doesn't hold much interest for me. However, my interest can be piqued when it comes to famous figures in the technology industries, as their endeavors can significantly impact the world.

Do you believe that the news about famous people in the media is true?

I’m not sure to be honest. I guess I adopt a somewhat skeptical stance regarding the authenticity of news about famous people in the media, so I would have to say, I believe it's a mix of truth and strategic marketing. In a world where sensationalism sells, critical thinking becomes crucial when consuming such news.

Rather than accepting everything at face value, it's essential to question the underlying motives and seek a deeper understanding. By adopting a more discerning approach, we can navigate the media reports and develop a more balanced perspective on the lives of famous individuals and differentiate what’s true and what’s not.
