Sample Answers

Who is your favorite movie star? You know, I've always been a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio. I think he's an incredibly talented actor who can play a wide range of roles, from drama to comedy. I mean, have you seen him in 'The Wolf of Wall Street'? He's just amazing in that film. I also love how he's used his platform to raise awareness about environmental issues, which I think is really important. Plus, he's just so versatile - he can do anything from action movies to historical dramas.

Are international superstars popular in your country? Absolutely, international superstars are huge in my country. I think it's because we have access to so much global media, so we get to see all the latest movies and TV shows from around the world. Plus, social media has made it so easy to follow our favorite stars and keep up with what they're doing. I mean, I've got friends who are obsessed with Korean pop stars, and they can't get enough of their music and videos.

Have you ever met a celebrity/superstar in real life? Actually, I have! I met Emma Stone at a film festival a few years ago, and she was just as lovely as you'd imagine. I was a bit starstruck at first, but she was so down-to-earth and friendly that it put me at ease. We talked about her latest movie, and I was impressed by how passionate she was about her craft. It was really inspiring to see someone so dedicated to their work. And you know, it's funny - she's even more beautiful in person!

Do you want to be a superstar? Ha! I don't think so. I mean, I love acting and performing, but I don't think I could handle the pressure and scrutiny that comes with being a superstar. I value my privacy too much, and I don't think I could deal with being recognized everywhere I go. Plus, I think it's really tough to maintain a sense of normalcy when you're in the public eye all the time. I think I'll stick to my day job, thanks!
