Discussion Are you interested in celebrities?

[Forever Sleep]

I was just wondering. Do you have an interest in gossip? Who's related to or, dating who? What they might be like in real life?

I definitely have actors I love to watch. I'll even watch things simply because they are in them and, they're good actors so, I take a punt that hopefully, the film will be good too. I'm not overly invested in their real lives though. Even when I get limerent crushes now and again, I'll try and search for the odd interview here and there but, not obsessively.

How about you? Is it an interest of yours? Do you consider it a guilty pleasure even? I sometimes get the sense people feel bad about being interested because it is comparitively trivial but also, kind of nosey. Where does the line exist between being a fan and being intrusive? Or, do you not care at all? Think it's all overated twaddle?

I sometimes feel a weird happiness for some weird reason when I find out my favoured actors are related. Like, Toby Stephens is the late great Maggie Smith's son. And, Sinaed Cusack is married to Jeremy Irons. I don't even know why it would matter, but it makes me happy somehow. Like- they're both brilliant. It makes sense they are related/ married.

We are ALL celebrates in our own way.

Everyone eats, sleeps, dreams and has dreams, so we are all wonderful folks!!!

I detest folks who think that they are better than others, as if GOD gave someone the ability to sing, act, be a doctor, whatever, they still are human, so like ALL of us!!

I only care about celebrities insofar as the art they create. I don't care about their personal lives or who they are. I just like what comes out of them creatively, if they make music, characters, art, writing, movies, shows, etc. that I consider, in my own personal opinion, great.

I've never been interested in celebrities and also not in gossip.

The ones who live today? No. I think they mostly suck.

But if I'd lived in the 19th century, I would've been the biggest Liszt groupie out there. I'd have followed his concerts around Europe, taken piano lessons to try to be as badass as him, tried to emulate his philanthropy and general goodness in my own life. You can't tell me these eyes don't look into your soul.
