On the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, Finneas, the talented 26-year-old musician known for co-writing and producing his sister Billie Eilish’s chart-topping hits, opened up about his distinct stance on fame. Contrary to what many might assume, he expressed a resolute disinterest in attaining the stratospheric levels of recognition his younger sibling commands.

“Being as famous as Billie is a nightmare. I would never want that,” Finneas asserted, recognizing the challenges his sister navigates with grace. He lauded her ability to carry the weight of her celebrity status, acknowledging her as a true rock star. Yet, he’s keenly aware of the constraints such notoriety imposes. “The consequence of that is she can’t do anything. She can’t really walk around,” he lamented, shedding light on the stifling effect of immense fame.

Reflecting on his attempts to facilitate moments of normalcy for Billie, Finneas shared anecdotes of their outings turning into surreal spectacles. Even simple tasks like grabbing a sandwich become “kind of a disaster,” with encounters veering into awkward territory as fans clamor for photos and videos.

“There’s an echelon of fame that’s many many many rungs higher than I am that’s untenable,” Finneas mused, acknowledging the vast gulf between his own level of recognition and the phenomenon that surrounds his sister.

Despite the proximity to Billie’s immense fame, Finneas remains steadfast in charting his own course, one that veers away from the blinding spotlight his sister inhabits. His remarks serve as a reminder of the multifaceted nature of celebrity and the nuanced ways in which individuals navigate its complexities.
