Has celebrity culture/worship always existed as long as society has?

just watched this video:

and it absolutely blew my mind. have people always reacted this way around high status people? would romans have behaved this way if they saw the emperor? for some reason I feel like that wasn't the case and this is just another example of society having gone off the deep end. discuss.

Yeah, far back as ancient Rome you had senators falling over themselves, trying to join the arenas in a frenzied rush to become a gladiator. They were willing to sacrifice their ancestral class title to become some pleb in the arena, all because of celebrity gladiators and all the ancient poonani they used to get.

Srs.
None of the above constitutes legal advice nor should be interpreted as such.

yeah i understand that wanting to acquire status has been universal, but i'm asking is this level of interpersonal worship a new thing? these people are having out of body experiences just from being in the same room as this dude. the girls were literally in tears and the dudes were high fiving like they'd accomplished something wtf
