At a convention. He was so normal and funny. Talked to us a lot. Hung out at the bar with us. Just sat at a table and talked to us until he had to leave. So much eye contact. So hot at 48. Said he wanted to keep in touch (it was me and 2 other fans I met online) one gave him gifts and her info and he said he would contact her and for her to contact us because he liked us and we had a good energy. Yeah he was a little drunk by then but he was just so cool. Now I can’t stop tearing up when I think about it. Maybe a mix of happiness that it happened. Sad that is over. And that I’m was just so attracted to him and will never know what it’s like. I’m married but he wouldn’t be into me or the other fans considering he dates women 20 years younger.
Fascinating post. There's so much going on here. There's the actual celebrity and whatever appeal he has, but more interestingly there's a kind of reaching by you for a different experience of life. Something more exciting, less predictable, just a sense of all possibilities opening up and then closing just as quickly when the evening ends. It makes you feel sad.
I'm just going to say that I think is completely normal to feel this way. It's also a window into something about your own sense of yourself that has to do with personal agency to make your own real day to day life more adventurous, more stimulating, more the life you feel you'd love to have. When we meet people that make us feel that excitement about life it's as though maybe you can just latch on to that and go along for the ride, everything could change. But in a sense then it's just looking for someone to do it for you because you don't feel able to do it for yourself. When I was young I was filled with fantasies of this kind, being somehow just caught up by some larger than life magnetic person and carried away. It's related to dreams of running away and joining the circus. Then the circus pulls up stakes and leaves town and leaves you behind. It's just bound to feel sad.
It makes me wonder too how aware of and sensitive to this dynamic that the celebrities who attend fan conventions like this are. Do they know the complex emotional reactions contact with them sets in motion for certain fans?
Hi OP- am I to take this to mean that you actually went to NYC? That’s fantastic. Good for you. You should be proud of yourself that you decided to go through with it AND you had a wonderful time. It sounds like maybe you are having tears of joy. I know in your posting history, you have complained about issues with your marriage, so you should be glad you had this experience.

Agreed, and I know it gets thrown around on these forums, but the OP should really seek out a therapist (and this is the psychology forum.) If she was having panic attacks at the thought of making this trip, and then when making the trip initiates a breakdown and release of emotions, she's got a lot bottled up that therapy can help her deal with.
I don't consider celebrity a desirable thing to have in a partner. Might even call it a red flag. A celebs work schedule can be very inconsistent, and if they are meeting attractive new people all the time as part of their job, isn't great for a relationship. Celeb or not.

He may date others besides what is publicly known.
Maybe he was just being polite, it will be interesting to see if he contacts the woman who gave her info. Sometimes celebs just like the fan attention and admiration, most of them have fragile egos.

I don’t think he was just being polite. He seemed to want to talk. Yes I think it’s an ego think. And he loved to talk about himself. About his movies, all the celebs he knows. Who is nice. Who is he can’t stand. No filter. Loved that about him. Just hilarious. Seems to have an alcohol, pot, and serious nicotine habit but so fun.
