Consider the "fair weather friends" concept here. Those who are tagging along while all is well in his world will most likely be gone at the first sight of difficulty, trouble or another star that is apparently rising a little faster or farther. Maybe at that time he'll realize who his true friends really are. I was never famous, but when things in my life got tough I certainly found out who my "True friends" were/are. Give him some time and hope that he too learns before he loses the true friend I think he has in you.
