Ditto. Besides, I'd rather have a chance at keeping my health (complete with knees, teeth, and ankles), so the sports is out; I'll play that for fun.
Hmmm, be a big fancy and rich movie star who makes millions every movie they make and could possibly be making movies until the day he or she dies, which won't always require endless and sometimes daunting physical requirements to beat everyone around me......
..... Or be a rich athlete that also makes millions a year, but has to eventually retire around his or her mid-30's and end up pimping my face out to infomercials and various grills & car sales (George Foreman / Wayne Gretzky)..... all the while being plagued for the rest of my life with various injuries and complications from my career in sports........
I'd go for the actor bit.
I don't think some people realize how much work you actually have to put into being a successful movie star. I don't think stars like Julia Roberts or Will Smith or whoever else has many 8 hour days..
more like 20 hour days.. especially if they have to wear a costume or lots of make up.
and then they spend a lot of their time shooting various scenes and repeats and edits, reshoots.
many of them get up at 5am just to sit in a chair for a few hours every day to have the make up put on and then again after to have it removed and cleaned up.
sure it may sound easier than a typical 9-5 job but it really isn't.
I'm pretty sure that you'd be extremely worn out a few weeks into the movie, having to get up and head straight to make up every day and do the same thing over and over.
a lot of standing around, waiting for the director to take the next scene.
and being that you're a successful movie star, that means you have to make many movies in a year, promoting it all over, movie premieres, festivals, talk shows with people you may not like! interviews, PAPARAZZI!.. ugh. maybe a stalker or two!

Doesn't sound too bad.... long hour days, getting up early in the morning for makeup, redoing scenes over and over again..... sure it's constant, busy work.... but once the movies done with, premieres, in the theatres, besides the occasional interview or award show.... if you made enough money from that movie, you can have the rest of the year off to do what you want.
And so long as you don't try and parade your damn life in front of the cameras for all to see, you won't have to worry about the paparazzi..... just look at Jennifer Aniston..... her only job these days is being in the Tabloids cuz her looks went down the drain, her acting always sucked and she spent too much time blabbing to this tabloid or another about Brad this, Jolee that, I want a baby, nobody likes me, everybody I date is fake.... blah blah blah.....
Many well known celebrities know exactly how to manage all of this, put out great movies, have piles of fans and still seem to be able to escape the tabloid's grasp.
How?
By not living in Hollywood, LA, New York, London, Sydney, Toronto, etc..... go to Hollywood to do your job and then when you're done.... leave and fly off to some remote and isolated small town or country nobody ever heard of before.
You'd be surprised at how many celebrities over the years owned homes in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Only for as long as it takes to do the parts in the role.
Um, it's called "work".
To a 8 year old.
Ya think?
You mean like a school bus driver for 9 or 10 months of the year (except for the makeup part)?
... or reading books, exercising in gym, or any of the other things that people do in their normal lives.
2 is the average for a popular star I think.
How could those poor actors ever survive? I'd say it was the actoirs that don't mind or even like that sort of stuff that is involved in it lots. There are actors who are quite private, though, and can manage to avoid the hoopla.
Yes, it must be absolute hell having to work for up to three or four months a year and then only getting paid a few millions dollars for all that work. And it isn't as if anyone appreciated the effort. I mean sometimes you hardly get more than a few hundred emails and letters from fans a week. And the terrible ordeal of being found a table every time in exclusive restaurants, and the first class treatment everywhere you go must be a terrible ordeal. I don't know how they stand all that money and adulation; it must make their lives absolutely miserable.
