Entrepreneurship is gradually becoming a celebrity trend nowadays. Gone are the days now when celbrities used to stick with acting merely. Remember the golden age of Hollywood when stars would stick with only acting? By then, acting was the only means of income for these celebrity icons.
Of course, it was back in the 1920s. Moving forward, the trend shifted to celebrities walking in the footprints of their famous parents. In other words, celebrity kids started walking in their parents’ shadow and started opting for a Hollywood career. Again, they stick with it as the only profession.
Fast forward to 2022, and the trend has shifted through and through. Today, celebrities are opting for entrepreneurship along with their acting careers. Thus, entrepreneurship is a tough race in Hollywood today.
