This might be misconstrued as a metaphysical question whereas it is better approached through semantics and logic.
By definition, the state of realness is in direct opposition to the state of fakeness. Logically, one thing cannot wholly occupy two directly opposite states at the same time, much as one object cannot occupy two wholly distinct places at one time. Semantically, in order to 'stay' in a state it is necessary to be in that state and not leave it. One cannot stay in a state one is not already in. Therefore it is a logical and semantic impossibility to 'stay' real while 'being' fake.
