That's the lucky part. I never bashed him for being lucky.
But to claim that everyone who is successful worked equally as hard is just silly. I was reading about one of those Disney star kids and they were simply in a mall when a talent scout happened to notice she was cute. Now she's famous. Is that the same as a band that tours for ten years in a rusty van driving from dumpy bar to crappy nightclub until they finally get signed? Or an actor who plays bit parts for years and years until he finally gets a breakout role? Of course it's not.
Once again, I take nothing away from achieving success either way. Either by mostly luck or by hard work. But you have to admit that both ways certainly exist.
But either way, I never bashed him for not working hard. I simply said celebrities can only work a few weeks a year if they want and still make millions of dollars, I never said that was bad.
