Annoying

The word paparazzo comes from paparazzo, the last name of a photographer in the Italian movie La Dolce Vita. In the movie, Paparazzo sells his pictures of stars to newspapers. In the 1960s, the word paparazzo entered English as a word for an annoying photographer who follows stars.


Do you think the underlined sentence can be rephrased as 'Paparazzo was annoying when he met stars.'?


Paparazzo was a photographer who followed stars in the movie. But it seems that Paparazzo was not annoying the stars. He just took pictures and sold some pictures of stars to newspapers. After many years passed, when people coined a word for an annoying photographer who follows stars, a paparazzo can be annoying stars. So, the character of Paparazzo is different from that of a paparazzo. Do you think the two sentences are the same or not?
