Do you ever dream of being a celebrity? Would you like to see your face on the cover of a magazine or dress up in designer clothing for a movie premier? Imagine how amazing it would be to hang out with the stars! You could get to know famous actors and musicians and become their friends. You could soak up the sun on the deck of your yacht or fly your private jet to beautiful locations. Everyone would know your name if you were an A-list celebrity.
Someone on the A-list is world famous. They are the best at what they do. A-list actors and musicians are usually people who have won many awards. If a celebrity is on the A-list, they regularly appear in magazines and on the red carpet. They can get into the most exclusive clubs and eat at the fanciest restaurants. Many people look up to them and want their glamorous lifestyle. Rapper Wiz Khalifa is a very well-known celebrity, but he doesn’t think of himself as A-list. However, other rappers have told him that they look up to him as an artist.
Would you like to be an A-list celebrity? What would you do if you were on the A-list?
