I'm like the hull of the sun. What am I?

I'm like the hull of the sun.



But I'm not a star.



I start with a kernel



And end like a keeper



But without opposing directions




What am I?



Hint




I'm not a thing, I'm a person




Edit



Changed the last line from But only like so. It is a more consistent part of the riddle now

I think this answer might actually be




Coroner




I'm like the hull of the sun.




Sounds like corona, as found by jafe




But I'm not a star.




Not usually famous.




I start with a kernel




Core (also discovered by jafe)




And end like a keeper




Owner




But without opposing directions




Core + Owner = Coreowner = Coroner, when we remove E and W (East and West)




Obviously, jafe's answer filled in many of the lines so do upvote that answer too.

    Are you




    the footballer Corona?




    I'm like the hull of the sun.




    The outer part of the Sun and other stars is called the corona.




    But I'm not a star.




    Not really a household name.




    I start with a kernel




    cor(e)




    And end like a keeper




    Not sure about this. There are certainly goalkeepers whose name rhymes with Corona, such as Marafona... Hard to believe this is what's intended here, though.




    But without opposing directions




    No idea what this means yet...
