One Minute Writer #44

Have you ever been a little obsessed with a celebrity (even as a kid)? If not, why do you think you've escaped celebrity obsessions?

When I was a preteen I collected images of Devon Sawa, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT), Andrew Keegan and other such teen hunks and had them on my bedrooms walls. I think I even had a laminated picture of Devon Sawa in my back pocket for a little while (as did a couple of my friends). I have since grown out of the obsessed fan stage and moved on to the healthier version. I find that I now admire good actors, who also happen to be good looking.
Neil Patrick Harris (NPH) is a good example of this. He is in a really funny show and has been part of some great little movies recently of which I am a fan. He is not only a good actor but also cute and non-threatening to Dave since NPH is gay. Other attractive good looking actors I enjoy are Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Hugh Grant (his characters tend to be very sarcastic, which is my favourite form of humour - plus he's British) and Johnny Depp. I don't want to know really anything about these people's personal lives, I just want to watch their movies. Though I do want to be friends with NPH, Nathan Fillion and Joss Whedon - because all the behind the scene footage makes them look like really awesome friends - the kind that would take a bullet for you and you can never have enough of those. Plus, Joss puts his friends in his shows and wouldn't that just be cool?
