Celebrities

Bartholomew is a fictional character from Woody Allen's 1998 film, Celebrity. He is portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, who was at the height of his heartthrob fame at the time.

Bartholomew is a spoiled and rebellious young actor, representing a new generation of celebrities driven by ego and superficiality. He embodies the excesses often associated with fame and wealth. Bartholomew's behavior is often erratic and self-destructive.

He is constantly surrounded by adoring fans and indulgent handlers, which further fuels his sense of entitlement. His storyline contrasts with the film's other narratives, highlighting different aspects and impacts of celebrity culture on various individuals.

Ultimately, Bartholomew serves as a satirical commentary on the allure and pitfalls of fame, particularly for those who achieve it at a young age and lack the maturity to handle its pressures.
