International Famous Star Or Internationally Famous Star?

Any differences between them? Thanks.

yzh1978 Any differences between them? Thanks. I see "famous" as redundant in "international famous star" (the noun "star" implies being famous).

  • Thanks.
  • I see "famous" as redundant in "international famous star" (the noun "star" implies being famous).
  • And the phrase "internationally famous star" seems to me pleonastic as well.
  • I'd use the noun phrase "international star" instead.

Only one is grammatical: Internationally famous star. (The person is not only a star in their own country, but all over the world.)
