Analisamos como o sofrimento na contemporaneidade amalgama autenticidade, intimidade e identificação nas relações entre a celebridade e seus fãs por meio da configuração de um ethos motivacional. Concluímos que, na contemporaneidade, as celebridades recriam-se como heróis de si mesmas pela exposição midiática de suas fraquezas, problemas e desgraças pessoais.
