Exactly, there are some who are able to deal with it. I mean you could list a whole slew of adults who were child actors and musicians who were basically a meal ticket for their parents that had zero semblance of a childhood that tuned out to be batshit. Gotta let kids be kids. Discipline, structure, and responsibility are one thing, but being pimped by your parents and not allowed to have a real childhood can really fuck someone up.
He just seems a little strange, but not too much. Certainly no more f'ed up than the average bear. And definitely less f'ed up than his dad, and half of all pro athletes.
Not that complicated. His dad died. There was nobody then to make him hit 500 balls in the rain. He's rich successful horny and now free.Good for Eldrick.
People just assume because someone is famous that they are a good person. Or if they are really good at something they are supposed to be perfect in their personal life. I use as example John F. Kennedy. If he had been President in todays times could he have lived the personal life he did in today's times with ties to Marylyn and the mob. Fame can also ruin some people. We all have our issues just not published for everyone else to see. Geesh I am glad some of my drunken college days weren't recorded like they could be now. I know one Jack In The Box sign that could testify against me. lol
The only strangeness to these people, IMO, is that cameras are on them every chance they get. They are not afforded the same privacy we are. IT does change their habits in a good or bad way. LIke @CalcoTiger said, there has been shit I have done that if a recorded existed....................
Which means there is a measure of calculation to action suggesting planning and understanding. That's the disturbing part. That's a sociopathic behavior trait. By contrast, Charlie Sheen is just. .gone.
