Being Famous and a Role Model

As I was carelessly wandering around my Youtube recommendations, the newest video of Mr. Beast popped up, and of course, I watched it. 😝 After doing so, a thought came to mind but before, I’ll give some of his data so you can be on the same page if you don't know anything about him.

Believe it or not, he has been on the platform for a lot of years and he is quickly turning into the biggest Youtube channel in the world with millions of followers and billions of views. He has multiple platforms on which he shares his content but Youtube is his favorite and most used as he has various channels having different topics as the main point.

He is most known for his crazy challenges but just as in the video linked below, he also owns a philanthropy channel in which he donates all the income to people in need.

Millions and millions of kids/teenagers watch his videos for fun and well, he does get way fewer views in his philanthropy content, but he still has a lot of traction. This made me think that..what if people can get inspired by his actions and donate or volunteer in one way or another?

A 15-minute video can motivate others to get up and help each other because a lot of people consider Mr. Beast as one of the most prominent role models.

Just imagine, watching your favorite celebrity doing wonderful things and sharing it for the world to see. Would you think it would be genuine? Does it really matter if their main purpose is to help communities in need and to literally tell you to do the same?

Take into consideration that of course he is an influencer and many people think that his responsibilities are not important, but imagine all the people who look up and admire him!

For this seventh prompt, it would be perfect if you shared a celebrity that you admire because of his/her actions. It can be an actor, artist, singer, influencer, literally anyone who you consider famous.

What made you choose that person? Did they inspire you? How? What did the celebrity choose to do? Did you get motivated to do something similar? From where did you get to know the person? Did you see that person from a different perspective? What would you do if you had millions in the bank? What would you do if you were famous and somebody else’s role model? 😃

There is always so much to do to help others, with small or big actions!
