It’s like running for president—the kind of person who thinks they should rule over everyone else isn’t well adjusted with good values. The megalomaniacs, narcissists, borderline personalities, and pathologically avaricious among us do better in the limelight. You don’t want those people hanging around the office and they typically cause chaos in normal settings. The well regulated, securely attached, high values people of the world do better in private and mundane pursuits. Both types of people have their place in the world.
NP. What you say is likely true of "celebrities" but there are plenty of jobbing actors who manage to make their livings from performing, and who are "well regulated, securely attached, high values people." Source: I know a couple of them, and while they'd be the first to note that their jobs are unusual, they also have a lot of gratitude that they can act for a living. But they're not wealthy or followed by paparazzi or pored over on social media, even though they have fans who keep up with their careers. And they have spouses, kids, live in houses in neighborhoods not too different from any neighborhood, have to worry about their health insurance,, budget for kids' college tuition, etc. People like them are the vast majority of working actors. "Celebrities" aren't.
