I'd say that's a pretty good life. I don't think he "gave up" his life. He lived it.

B.t.w. I was agreeing with your post.
Many famous people implode under the pressure. You take for granted walking into a Dairy Queen and enjoying an ice cream cone without all the fanfare. Don't underestimate the significance of that.
Yes, normal is very subjective, but I'm sure he didn't feel normal, being one of the most recognizable people on the planet, and all.
