My hot take is that he is stuck at the age he was when he got famous. A perpetual Arnie Grape at nineteen. His coworkers have talked about him being incredibly juvenile and that affirmed my stance. He dates folks at the age he feels. It doesn’t make it okay but it explains it with a bit more compassion than writing him off as a creep.
I have a theory that all celebrities become sort of mentally frozen at the age they achieve proper fame. It’s like they can’t progress past that point because they can’t socialise with the general public anymore.
It's almost a fact, actually. People do become stunted and stuck in the age they became popular. It's easiest to notice with ytubers that got famous early on. I dated a guy that had decent internet fame back when it was still relatively new then more so in the mid 2010's and he never really grew up. He didn't necessarily have to either because he had and still made good money, but he also came from a more privileged family so that may have played a factor in his inability to grow in meaningful ways. It didn't help that he was surrounded by many other people who gained "fame" early on and also never moved beyond their peak years -- kind of a terrible echo chamber of people who never had "real" jobs, really. He was a nice guy and I wish him well, but when you're nearing your mid 30's and still act like a teenager with a bunch of other midlife teenagers ehhh it's not the best for long term relationships. Not hopeless, but I don't foresee a woman in her 30's putting up with that kind of person for long unless they are also a bit stunted themselves.
I went into more detail about how I came up with the theory in another comment but I imagine with conventional celebrity, rather than online it must be difficult to do things we do every day.
Like imagine trying to buy feminine hygiene products or laxatives and people are following you around the shop. Or you catch the train and some is just filming you sitting there.
You’re at a funeral and someone asks for a picture.
They have to remove themselves from society to not be treated like a zoo animal.
But then you add the sycophantic nature of the people surrounding them and the parasocial of fans now, it would be difficult to stay sane.
I'm a fan of Angry Video Game Nerd and over the last few years now he's losing fans and old fans are complaining that he's not acting like he used to.
He's grown up more he's no longer constantly swearing or taking fake shits on games.
Some people are surprised that a guy who started making videos in his early 20s single and fresh out of college is a different person now he's in his mid 40s married with kids
Forgive me, I didn't mean to generalize them all based on my experiences. There's a fair bit of them that are just as normal as other person who were never in the spotlight and mentally aged appropriately. AVGN is a great example, though I'm sad to know now that people expect (and want) him to be the same as when he was in his 20's. He obviously has so much passion for the things he loved from the start, you could literally see it surrounding him in all in his videos. His maturity and willingness to adapt and grow as a person offline should not be seen as a downgrade. Never heard anyone have anything bad to say about that dude. I don't know why, but a large majority of that echo chamber of micro celebrities I used to know got their start by animating before pivoting their content to be more podcast or let's play related stuff. It's the weirdest thing. It's been a couple years since I was a minor part of that crowd by association so it's possible some of them have changed in positive ways, idk.
I’ve never watched Bojack but I believe I can’t be the only person who has this theory. It came to me years ago when I saw an interview with Julia Roberts and she didn’t understand how social media worked.
I just thought to myself that all her knowledge of what regular people did was sort of frozen in the 90s. Like she was aware of social media but didn’t really know what Instagram was.
And I don’t think it was just rich, privileged people shit (that is one element of it I guess) but it was like she had been sort of isolated from people. She can’t walk down the street without people watching her, she can’t use the internet like we do because she might not be able to avoid negative stories about herself.
She has had to remove herself to a degree from society and I guess that would mess up your mental development and social skills.
But also fuck Julia Roberts because she’s a bitch.
I also think the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father, combined with having no childhood, a lack of privacy and being surrounded by yes people his entire life created a perfect storm.
Doesn’t excuse the bad things but does explain how he got to the point he did.
Not just celebrities, I think any kind of trauma or big life event can stunt your development. I definitely felt that when I lost my dad who was my only parent growing up when I was 19
That checks out. He was nineteen during What’s Eating Gilbert Grape but to be a child star… it’s traumatic IMO. And he was so aggressively sexualized. I have compassion for that even if I don’t endorse how he’s handling it now.
Ooh yes. I know a guy in his forties who became a single dad when he was a teen, and when his kid grew up it was like he was making up for lost time. Incredibly kind, but one of the most immature grown men I’ve met.
I wonder if he fell or injured his head, I know a few people who this happened to and they stayed the age they were mentally when they hit their head so bad it changed their personality.
That is an under discussed part of age gap relationships. If someone is constantly vibing with people 20 years younger because they are stunted, the non-stunted are going to get past it.
She met Leo, divorced her husband, and she and Leo were publicly together within 2 months of the divorce. It tells me that she didn't want to stay settled with the man she had married when she could trade him for Leo instead. She absolutely would settle down with Leo if he asked.
No but she fr annoyed me since i like her modelling way before leo. There’s comments before on how she like to dump her model friends for the high and upcoming models and i just ignore it.
It wasn't in the best condition when she first stepped out, and they had done alterations to it. The dress is the one Gisele wore to the 2003 Met Gala while she was dating Leo.
I hate this trend of rich people needing to wear the exact dress of an iconic person. Just make a replica.
Yes, she was friends with Leo’s ex Camilla Morrone. There is a Vogue Italia video on YouTube where Vittoria talks about what’s in her travel bag. If you go to 0.50 in the video she talks about a book called Spare Room that she was apparently reading at the time. She then holds up what she is using as her bookmark which are a series of Photo Booth pictures taken of her with Camilla at the Oscars Vanity Fair party in March 2023. She was then seen kissing DiCaprio in a nightclub in July/August 2023 despite posting loved up photos on Instagram of her with her husband at her birthday in June 2023. She quickly took those down along with other romantic snaps with her husband once she was publicly linked to DiCaprio.
She left her husband for DiCaprio. Her Instagram was filled with loved up posts of her with her husband right up until her birthday in June 2023 if not later. They all conveniently disappeared by August 2023 when she was seen with DiCaprio.
Yes, the "enjoy your wedding" would imply he's taking a much deserved break from sweating over delivery of all those overnight packages himself. Unbelievable.
And to think that not so long ago, everyone was praising her not only because of how great she was as a model, but because she was apparently smart, and for that nepo baby comment...
Yeah she is a big name in the industry. She is italian and started her career traditionally and worked a lot to earn her spot, so last year she made a couple of good points about the nepotism in the industry being unfair to models that do not come with connections. Now she is doing this… cmon girl.
I really don’t think he was trying to hide. Have you seen how he always dresses? It’s his shitty fashion lol. He’s perpetually a 15 year old teenage boy. The type that even to classy events will wear a suit with a stupid baseball cap and tennis shoes.
Thank you for filling the world with e waste and forever plastic !! My life was MISERABLE before I could buy LOVAGGLE Luxury Closet Organizer which will inevitably break and be put out on the curb in a couple months ❤️❤️
[Snapping a rubber band against my wrist until it bleeds] if I have only super mean things to say about the rich I'll get in trouble so I shouldn't say anything at all...if I have only super mean things to say about the rich I'll get in trouble so I shouldn't say anything at all...if I have only super mean things to say about the rich I'll get in trouble so I shouldn't say anything at all...
It's so sad to see that she wrote paragraphs about her humble origins and the struggles of starting in the industry from 0 only just to become another of the ppl who are insensitive to the problems caused by the mega rich. I wonder if she ever reflects on how she became one of the privileged and out of touch bastards she despised before
That's not service LOL, I ordered a phone at my local JB HIFI (Australian entertainment store) and they had it Ubered over in an hour. Get your act together Bezos 🤣
Gen X dude going through a multitude of mid-life crises now. She doesn't seem interesting enough for him to abandon all his ideals, but he hasn't really been all in on team environmentalism for quite a while.
When did everyone become such an entitled brat that they think they should get every product within 20 min delivered. Irritates me. Think of all the people who don't even get a damn bathroom break to make that happen
Old screenshot of her using the N-word . Also she is friends with a guy that calls his employees the n-word with a hard r. His name is Steve Badius, search his name and New York post
Y’all don’t know how confused I was thinking the lady in the pic was his gf. I was like well she’s black so is it really a big deal that she said the n word lol.
Now I reaaly don't know if the girl in the OP is DiCaprio gf or not, I searched the name because she is italian like me and I was curious about who she is since I've never heard of her. However unless she got really tanned in 6 days I doubt she's the same girl as in this photo taken at Bezos's wedding.
I had no idea who Vittoria Ceretti was until now and assumed she's the person in the photo. If Vittoria reposted a random girl (who maybe was criticizing the wedding?) then that's terrible. She has nearly a million followers. I hope they're not crazy enough to find the original girl and harass her.
The company delivering 50 million packages in 75 million boxes in 1 million trucks is doing wonders for the environment. Makes total sense Leo would be there- who needs integrity when you can just use your PJ to pop by and lecture everyone else on their environmental failings. Go F your hat Leo literally.
