Of course if a fan say it for express how they like them, is a thing.
If a fan says it seriously, then it could be
1. If she could, could marry him, but of course the person knows its not possible. So its just a dream in heart.
2. if one says it in a way that would be really convinced to marry him and persecute him, then if would be not good.
But of course I believe also in the "like" (more than use the world "love") at first sight .
Is not always necessary to met a person before like it (if for "like" one mean to like externally ).
But of course to know a person you need to personally know them.
And yes, famous people, in the everyday life are so different, but not so much as one think..All depends on different people.
I met a relatively not so famous person, and I like him even before have met him
When I like him without know him personally, he was a singer, but not so famous. I really like him at first sight! His eyes make me feel like something deep attired my attention.
Of course he it was a singer back then, and he had an "image". But a certain point of his career, he changes ways and decided to be more himself with his fans. His fans loved him so much.
I really like him but I knew was impossible love. And of course, he was different person than his image , but not so much. I met him finally , and many times , and my first impression I had when I saw him just in a screen, was exactly the same when I met him the first time. His way to be was exactly like I imaged.
But its a "like" of course not a "love", as for love, one need to know the full sides of a person, that is the more worse hidden side that one dont know immediately.
But since everyone of us have a good and worse side , to love a person, its necessary to accept both sides. And I think I could have accepted also his "worst" side, as I know the human beings can do mistakes. And I know what is the real purpose of love people, so it would be probable that I could really switch from that "like" to "love" a person. But this is surely a love impossible for many reasons, so I simply like him as singer again.
Yet, in general way, for a person that I like ,I dont say that my feelings are not called also love. Theres many different kind of love but always love. There is the love for family. The love for a work. The love for friends. Yet all all love. Of course is not a love like a romance love. An universal love but yet, is not a false love. Its not necessary to know the person personally, for feeling this kind love, that is the love that God have for all the humans creatures. Thats surely a genuine love.
I remember when I was also MJ fan, I really wished to marry him as well...eheh and I was serious back then. Of course it was a dream only, but if I could have been became even just friend of him, I dont think I could not really loved him , at least as a dear friend, not to marry, because for love I also meaning a friend love and always centered not on the person itself...
