Movie stars, musical stars and pro athletes are clearly better than the rest of us. Consider this -- they make more money than we do, get hotter girls and are almost above the law (unless they get into dog fighting; murder, however, still A-OK). Hell, if you are a musician, actor or athlete, you can get your own TV show where cameras will follow you around while you grocery shop and hang out playing video games.
But which of these job titles is better than the other two? We discuss what makes each so enviable and special -- and also list their drawbacks -- after the jump.
Movie star
In nine out of 10 roles, the above-the-title actor is paid ridiculous sums of money to have very smart people make him look as cool and appealing to the opposite sex as possible. Occasionally, the A-lister will take on a less glamorous role -- perhaps portraying a mentally challenged person or a schoolteacher – and for that he will be praised for his bravery and given awards.
Drawbacks
Early morning shoots. Fighting off Scientologists.
By the time they're 55 . . .
Multiple facelifts and hair plugs have caused the A-list actor to resemble an old lesbian.
All-star athlete
Growing up, more children dream of the hitting the clutch home run or making the game-winning shot than achieving any other kind of high-profile stardom. Pro athletes get to spend their early adulthood being idolized for playing a kids game, while enjoying all the competition and camaraderie that go along with doing so.
Drawbacks
Drug testing. Staph infections.
By the time they're 55 . . .
The ex-jock walks with a noticeable limp and is awaiting hip replacement surgery
Platinum-selling musician
While actors and athletes get to be inconsiderate and unreasonable drunks during their considerable down time, the rock star can also do so while he is working. In fact, it is encouraged. And there is no comparing the buzz the rock god gets when he is on stage to any other kind of fan worship.
Drawbacks
Crooked managers. Bad fashion choices documented on album covers.
By the time they're 55. . .
Either dead or playing state fairs.
