I interpret it the way it’s intended but it’s a pretty annoying phrase to me.
Never meet my heroes? I’ve already been disillusioned by the people I know closely in real life, nobody is perfect and it would have been naive to assume some celebrity is.

That is to say, when you pick a ‘target,’ you should be looking at what’s right and achievable in your own personal devslopment instead of emulating one specific popular person, who might in fact have a very cultivated (catered) public image, or have undergone historical revisionism to artificially create a folk hero.

Also, a very literal interpretation is also correct - famous people don’t like meeting “plebs” unless they’ve mentally prepared for it
