People usually tend to construct a perfect image of a person they admire. For example, this is the case for many famous actors and actresses. Some of them play heroes and almost perfect people in movies. But these movie-good-guys in many cases turn out to be ass-holes-in-real-life.

Or consider some beautiful fashion models looking at you from covers of big magazines. People tend to transfer their beauty (which is only due to good make-up in many cases) to their personality. They construct an image of a perfect women usually forgetting the what they see is just a picture in a magazine.

When we meet people we admire in everyday life we can be badly disappointed by reality... unfortunately.
