During global disasters, people are often tested "for strength." It immediately becomes clear - who is ready for difficulties, and who can break even from a small shock. The epidemic and forced self-isolation became such a test for many stars. Considering that most fans are now also sitting at home and trying to have fun en masse, quarantined show business figures are attracting close attention. What are they doing, are they trying to work in difficult conditions and are they fulfilling the requirements of self-isolation? Already more than one "star" has displeased subscribers.

Online concerts

Many singers and musicians show an example of loyalty to their vocation and do not stop working even in the changed conditions. So, for example, Ilya Lagutenko and the Mumiy Troll group, despite the disrupted anniversary concerts, continue to rehearse at home, contacting through video conferences and regularly delight fans with new and old songs, uploading the recorded on their channel.

Many foreign stars also do not miss the opportunity to show themselves in a new format. British singer Robbie Williams, locked in quarantine, gave a free concert for his subscribers. For 90 minutes he performed karaoke songs, and not only his own. Of course, the subscribers were delighted, although it seemed to some that the singer was not entirely sober.

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher also sang his main hit - the song "Wonderwall" on the air, but especially for the changed situation, he composed new words for the famous composition. In a slightly rude manner, he recommends that his listeners wash their hands and the rest of the body thoroughly and demonstrates in practice how to deal with hygiene. What really surprised the fans was the bushy beard with which their idol managed to grow in self-isolation.

Among Russian singers, online concerts were very successfully conducted by Rapper Basta, Elka, Grigory Leps, Group Bi-2, Sergey Lazarev, Anton and Victoria Makarsky and even Gosha Kutsenko. Representatives of Internet platforms refuse to comment on the stars' fees for such performances, however, it is known that not all of them are free, so quarantine for fruitful work, as it turned out, is not a hindrance.

Bath edifications and complaints

Some show business figures, who, it would seem, cannot be blamed for their lack of experience in communicating with fans, during quarantine managed to cause a massive negative reaction. One of the most recent such cases was a video by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The ex-governor of California made a very correct speech - he called on citizens of all countries to fulfill the requirements of self-isolation. However, the citizens were annoyed by the mentor tone of the actor, who was sitting in the jacuzzi with a cigar in hand. Many subscribers noted in the comments that they do not have a jacuzzi, and smoking is harmful to health, so they cannot follow the example and advice of "iron Arnie".

The singer Madonna was in a very similar situation. The philosophical monologue that neither wealth nor position is important for the virus and that we are all in the same boat did not reach the souls of most tired people. Perhaps because sitting in a bath with rose petals and dressed in nothing but jewelry, the star was very clearly showing an example of the opposite. If we recall the quarantine failure of Olga Buzova with her bathroom full of instant noodles, then we can make an unambiguous conclusion: fans are not ready to see their idols wet and in negligee, and even more so to listen to moralizing from them.

What else annoys ordinary people is the complaints of the stars, "stuck" in their villas and mansions, about the hard life. Some talk about how difficult it is for them to quarantine, illustrating the messages with photographs of the magnificent apartments. So British singer Sam Smith posted an Instagram post complaining and drew a barrage of criticism. Even his “fellow workers” called him to order. English comedian actor Rick Gervais shamed Sam and other stars for whining like this:

Recipe from Matt Damon

American actor Matt Damon has not been able to leave the Irish village because of the epidemic since March, but he has absolutely no worries about it. Perhaps because his wife and three younger children also live with him, or because Ireland is a fabulous place in the spring, but the actor seems to be very pleased. Matt came here to shoot the historical film "The Last Duel", but soon due to the coronavirus, filming was suspended, and the police began to monitor compliance with the quarantine rules. The actor made the decision to stay with his family in the Irish countryside, and not return home, and, apparently, he was right. The situation with the virus in the village of Dalkey, where he now lives, is, of course, much better than in multimillion New York.

The locals are happy too. They not only do not bother Damon over trifles, pretending that they do not know who he is, but also carefully guard his peace from journalists. The actor enjoys nature and says that he is just happy. The Hollywood star allegedly manages to remain so incognito that local radio hosts could not even invite him to the show. When the actor himself phoned the radio station and talked about how he spends time in forced temporary "emigration", the presenter was shocked. Judging from the photographs, the famous self-isolating star is really hard to distinguish from a local.

Quarantine problems are solved in different ways. For example, Zoo employees decided to live with pets for 3 months.
