What do you think being famous/ a celebrity is actually like?

    I once had a brief recurring bit on (very) local tv. The impact even from such minor celebrity is stunning. A father walking his kid in a stroller saying ‘we know him from tv, don’t we?’ and some random bloke telling his life story to me late in s bar because he felt he knew me

    It’s really weird. Having that in a world wide scale must be both cool but also very uncanny

      people think they know you, people think they own you. and people think you are the characters you play on the screen.

      it’s fucked.
