I think there's a big diffrence though. A fictional character is real (I know it sounds very paradoxical)whereas a Celeb is just an image we have. They aren't real people to us, only a fantasy, very far away. We don't know what happens in their everyday life and we don't their intimacy and above all we don't know what is in their mind.
Some fans get nuts and believe they know but actually they don't. As much as they reveal about themselves, they remain strangers.
I think I fall in love with literary characters, especially characters in books, because I know what's going on in their mind. I share their emotions and everything that make them true in a book and therefore real to me.
I understand having fantasies because someone famous is hot and charming (like me drooling over Hugh Jackman!)but falling in love? How can anyone become attached to someone they don't know?
