Fan Casting Broken Pedestal(Never Meet Your Heroes)

Description of Broken Pedestal (Never Meet Your Heroes):

When this trope is in play, if you look up to someone, chances are good that they're the scum of the earth. At the least, they’re not what you think they are — or they were, but time has passed and the luster has faded. (This is particularly likely if the audience has just heard about them for the first time). If you're in law enforcement, you'll probably suffer the double blow of seeing their darkest secrets and having to be the one to put them in handcuffs. If your idol was your teacher, you'll find yourself repeating — with bitter irony — some maxim or mantra that you still hold but your mentor has since abandoned.
