There are a lot of heroes in the world but what is a real hero in 2016? Here, we will discuss about famous people who are heroes for their voices, their acting skills, their athletic performance or others qualities. We’ll especially going to talk about those heroes who gave us hope but have made mistakes which are, sometimes, unforgivable. So, can we forgive them for their wrongdoing? We will see that it depends on what they did. First we are going to talk about when the talent takes over their mistakes and in a second part, the unforgivable wrong doing which make heroes fall off of their throne.

So let's talk about famous people who take drugs, alcohol or those who attack the paparazzi and give us a bad image of themselves. Their talent takes over their bad habits, and we continue to admire them no matter what they do.

In fact, a lot of stars are known for taking drugs, they make media headlines and it paints a bleak image of them but, their talent is usually unheard of sometimes. Their talents gains the upper hand and we continue to admire them. For example, drugs are a little part of the myth of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and his sidekick Keith Richards have often been in the spotlight for their extreme behaviour of all kinds. Even though Keith Richards did heroin, an addiction that nearly cost his life, and Mick Jagger who has tried all kinds of substances, such as cannabis (he was arrested in 1987 for consuming and possession of cannabis) cocaïne, LSD and other substances. Although yes, it’s not a good thing to take drugs and it is illegal, Mick and Keith of the Rolling Stones stay heroes and forever they will be. They are legends of the 60’s and the 70’s.

Drugs are not the only substance which has destroyed our heroes, there is also alcohol. How many music or cinema icons have been drunk on stage, while under the spotlight?

When you are a star you have to be perfect for your fans and everybody around you, but sometimes with all that pressure, they succumb to alcohol, but can we blame them? They are humans and a lot of people drown their sorrows in alcohol, is it a mistake for our heroes to show their weaknesses? Daniel Radcliffe, global star at a young age thanks to the character of Harry Potter, he always proclaimed that he hated fame. He gradually sank into alcohol, but it is now trying to catch up and we can’t blame him because we see the little guy who played Harry, our favorite sorcerer.

When you’re a star, everybody wants to know everything about you and while you are hunted by all the paparazzi in the world and sometimes our heroes would like to have a private life and when they see paparazzi outside, they can’t keep calm and attack them. In 2004, Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow quietly came out of the hospital after visiting their daughter. Unnerved by the horde of photographers, the Coldplay singer lashed out at a paparazzi snatching his camera.

Everyone wants to be famous, to become the hero of their generation, but fame does not turn well for everyone. While some stars are at ease in the spotlight or like a fish in water, others do not know where to turn. The reasons for these outcomes are different: some peoples have become famous too young while for others, their success just goes to their head. They are many, actors, actresses
