That’s ONE millionaire. Imagine what all millionaires and billionaires could do for this country if they actually put their obscene wealth to practical use.
do all the jeff goldblum stans realize that he’s on his third wife and she’s literally half his age
Half his age, as in she was born in 1983 making her 35 years old and an adult with adult agency and life experiences to balance out the inexperience and power dynamics that make age gap relationships questionable at best and predatory at worst?
Like I get where you’re coming from, a lot of the time there is good reason to side-eye wide age gap relationships. But there’s also sometimes nuance, like the fact that they met and got engaged when she was 31, and as near as I can find from a quick google search, his other marriages although having ended, did not end for awful or violent reasons. Sometimes people just realize they made a mistake or their needs change, and they are allowed to do things to rectify them, like responsibly end a marriage for the sake of those involved rather than continue torturing each other.
Also if the objection is to how many times he’s been married, his second wife
Geena Davis (also in her 30s when she married him)
has been married four times. Is that unacceptable too?
I’m not trying to be hostile and I don’t particularly care about him either way. This just seems like such vague phrasing designed to provoke an inflammatory response and I can’t seem to find any receipts to back it up other than the fact that he has indeed been married three times, married a younger woman in her 30s, has a son with her, and has talked openly about how they go to couples therapy to deal with their shit, which is actually, if you think about it, a very healthy thing to do.
And for what it’s worth, his first wife
Patricia Gaul was born in 1945 making him the younger of the two (1952), but
making them of comparable and compatible ages when they got married to each other in
their 30s. Like I’m just not seeing the behavior or someone here who is a
repeat offender of chasing after vulnerable young women in the same way say, Drake is blatantly grooming a 14 year old girl.
the screenshots here are from near the end of the interview, which i think makes it even worse, because the interviewer listened to everything he’d said and still didn’t treat it very seriously. there are other parts where she seems very smart and intuitive, but then other times he’d say something like “i hate myself to death and feel like i’m an empty shell” and she’d just laugh and move on while i’m just like !!!
i was really impressed by how open he is about it though, even the “ugly” symptoms that aren’t really talked about normally — like how he said he used to lock himself in his apartment alone and drink and “bang on the walls” because he didn’t know how else to cope with all the pain he was in, and he even mentions hurting himself and talks about scars and refers to himself as a “masochist” and says a coworker once referred to him as “someone constantly trying to hurt himself.” the fact that he was able to talk about all this so openly, despite the reaction he got, was so impressive and amazing to me
it’s really heartbreaking though because he’s obviously never had the support he needs — at one point he mentions that the first person he ever opened up to about all the pain he was in (back in his mid-20s, when he says it was much worse) was a director who was considering hiring him, and he later found out that that director had told people she thought “someone like that” would be “too difficult” to work with, and it caused this rumor/pre-conceived notion about him to spread that affected the way his coworkers treated him. now that he’s famous and has had other work he’s literally known for how charming and nice he is to everyone, but at that point his coworkers all thought he was moody, pretentious, and rude and always avoided him on set because of this, all because he opened up about his severe depression to the wrong person
speakng of raising awareness: the movie he’s being interviewed for here is “silenced”, a film he initiated production of. it’s based on real events that happened at a school for deaf children, where kids were sexually abused for years by their teachers. of the six rapists, two received prison sentences (and were out within a year), while the others were freed immediately because the statute of limitations had expired – and all were reinstated at the school
gong yoo read about this a few years later and said to himself “what can i as an actor do to help,” and he made a movie about it. millions of people saw it and there was mass public outrage, and because of this movie the case was reopened, the school was shut down, the rapists got much harsher punishments, and a law named after the movie was passed that abolished the statute of limitations for all sex crimes against minors and disabled people
when they were making the movie, gong yoo was convinced by the director he’d found to star as a teacher who tries to help the victims, but at first he was hesitant (because before this he’d only been in romcoms and he thought he lacked the acting ability to pull off the emotional depth required for this subject) but he eventually agreed because he wanted to use his fame to bring attention to the events
like… i have nothing but admiration for this guy. gong yoo is incredible and i want the world to know
He’s amazing, wow!
I love Gong Yoo
I need suggestions of his best work from literally anyone. What stuff should I check out?
Kavanaugh is officially on the Supreme Court. Republicans blocked Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland for over a year with no discernible cause, but they’re willing to overlook Kavanaugh’s assault charges and aggressive demeanor, as well as the fact that people either close to him or formerly close to him say he’s lying under oath, in order to shove him through the process before midterms.
If Queen RGB dies and Trump gets to appoint a third Justice, we’re screwed on some major social issues (including abortion and birth control rights, which have upcoming cases) for 50+ years.
