✍🏻 Yes and…What Is Your Signature Move?

On the one hand, this is strange because, in reading/listening to interviews with him, he repeatedly emphasizes that he HATES being a famous person.

Even more, he hates the specific kind of genre of famous person he is, which is to say, one that reliably is fodder for journalistic publications dedicated to documenting the humdrum and humanizing aspects of celebrity lives.

And I believe his protestations to be true.

I DO believe that he disdains and rebukes and hates showing up in US Weekly or having someone trail him with a camera the size of a small satellite while he tries to get a coffee and small box of munchkins at Dunkin.¹
