People That Knew Celebs Before They Got Famous Confess How They Changed With Fame

I was classmates and good friends with Martin Garrix. He dropped out to pursue his career in producing when we were 16. I thought it was dumb move at the time. I lost contact with him thereafter. Nice guy, and when I hear him talk in interviews he is still the same happy guy I knew.

One of my best friends became the host of a pretty highly-rated reality TV show that ran for like 10 or 11 seasons. During the entire time, nothing changed in our relationship – he was the same fun, friendly, loyal guy as ever, BUT… When he lost the show, and was trying to maintain the same lifestyle and expecting the same ‘respect’ from the public, etc. his personality started to change. He handled the success very well, but he could not handle the loss of it. He became aggressive, entitled, frustrated, needy, demanding… basically everything you expect a snotty celebrity to exhibit made itself manifest after he lost the celebrity status. Our friendship is strained heavily at the moment.

I went to High School with Colson Baker, or Machine Gun Kelly. I had a class or two with him and knew him but we werent really friends, just acquaintances. Ran into him one night in downtown Cleveland, still remembered me, we talked for a minute and that was that. He was/still is really a pretty chill guy.
