People obsessed over it.
They needed him in their lives.
Every thing he did was watched, discussed, talked over.
Media columns about him.
Then, one day, he challenged it. He escaped. Started his new life
People were upset, Then they switched channels and got on with their lives. Probably found something new to obsess about.

Just saying,,,,,,

I hope he was happy once he was able to escape.

But I bet he still had people obsessing about him once he'd broken free.

But he had no real life, or friends or family.

This is more about the people obsessed over him and the minutae of his life. And how they switched over when he left.

He had the nice Natascha who wanted to be his friend.

I bet the Daily Mail would have run a 10 page supplement along with opinion pieces from Piers Morgan who may have met him once

Then the public would demand he paid back all the wages he earnt from his job and pay for the cost of his house.

...and TalkRadio would have a slot with Eamonn Holmes who'd tell us he hadn't met him but he just knew he wouldn't like him if he did Hmm

Truman was the most recognizance person in the world. He likely went from a life where he was controlled to one where he was forced to live as a virtual recluse. He would have paparazzi following him everywhere, trying to find out what kind of life he was leading now, much like some real life incidents in the past.
