How do you work that out? I would guess that the reasons he embarked on a comedy career was because he liked doing it and thought he was good at it or do you think that the reason why he sought out a comedy career was to be famous? It's not like he was whoring himself over the tabloids before he was famous to make money was it?
Do footballers take up the game to be famous or to play the game?

Coogan is simply a "jobbing comedian". Fame comes with success. He's never been one (as far as I know) for turning up at crappy film premiers, TV Heat magazine awards, a la Kerry Katona, Jordan, latest Big Brother failure, etc
He's never been one (again, as far as I know) for giving a 'story' to the media on a daily basis, a la Madonna, Lady Gaga etc
He's simply "doing his job", and is famous as a consequence. His private life should not be invaded. Good luck Coogan, in getting justice for yourself

Spot on.

By Standee's logic, any RL player has 'sought fame' and is, presumably, fair game for the tabloid rags.

He's not my cup of tea as a comedian, but he's been very successful in acting roles as well, which means he's obviously more than just a stand up.
Away from his work, he's always seemed quite erudite when I've seen him interviewed, and doesn't strike me as a media whore at all. Don't really know what you're on about with this one.
