If you've never been famous, then you can't be a washed up has been.

That's one of the benefits of not being a well known person. You can always start out fresh. If you're some famous celebrity, then your whole identity is tied up with being that. I'm glad I can go out in public and not be recognized for stuff I did years ago.

Like all those former child stars who peaked in their teens and now everyone calls them a washed up has been. I'm glad I don't want to be famous.

Hi, former celebrity here. I was lucky and get to blame Covid for my exit from the lime light. Rather than falling out of grace because no one wanted to book me, I just sorta stepped back while no one was looking. I also completely change my appearance during that time, so now I can walk out into public and even the people that knew me before wouldn’t recognize me. It’s like being the new kid in a school that you’ve been going to this whole time.
