and then there's famous people- be they athletes, actors, or whoever. they always put out a "nice" face to the public, while what they really do when no one is looking could be the exact opposite of what they want you to think.
a good recent example of this (at least her in the States, anyways) is former NFL star Michael Vick. his public image was of a sqeaky clean kid who came from nothing and got multi-million dollar a year contracts to play a game while leading a public life that made him look like something only slightly short of Superman for the things he did for the poor and what not, but privately he was raising dogs to be used in fighting rings- and if the dogs weren't "winners, he personally took part in the killing of the animals.
yup, he's a great guy. a real role model..
