*sigh****** SPOILER *****
He was an up-and-coming celebrity. Terminally ill children were requesting to meet him through the Make A Wish foundation. He was touched, and took this as a sign of his rising stardom.Congratulations, GalFisk, on the solution, and thank you everyone for playing. I think this sounded more difficult in my head 
Also, probably shouldn't have used 'ill' in the title.
