Fame makes you a role model by definition. Maybe you're not being paid for being a role model directly, but it just goes with the territory.

So to answer the OP, it's not a question whether you should be considered a model or not, you just are - for some people - like it or not.

gotta disagree, if I am a great golfer and all I wanna do is play golf, and win. It would not be my problem if someone worships me. That is their problem. I have a right to privacy.

They only people that have committed to being a role model are those that take money for pushing a product.

Most of us are a role model to someone, whether we realize it or not (and whether that is a good thing or not!).

Celebrities are role models to quite a few people, due to their fame...again wanted or not, wise or not, it happens.

Well yeah, of course it's their problem. A famous person doesn't have a choice. Unavoidably he/she will be a role model for someone. I'm not saying that you have to act according to that. You just have to know that with fame comes a certain amount of responsibility - because some people are utter pillocks and will copy your every stupidity.
