People do want to meet their heroes, there's a reason we have terms such as "fans", "groupies", etc.

a fan does not necessarily want to meet their hero, whereas it is of course true that a groupie does. Nonetheless, the saying still exists that you should never meet your heroes, even if fans and groupies do want to do that which they should never.
