"Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat"
About this Quote
The second line lands as a social dare. “I don’t trust people who don’t like to eat” is obviously hyperbole, but it’s weaponized in a friendly way: a shortcut for sorting the performative from the present. People who “don’t like to eat” can signal fussiness, judgment, restriction, even a kind of ascetic branding. Gershon frames that as suspicious because eating, especially with others, is messier and more honest. You have to want something. You have to receive. You have to be seen mid-bite, mid-pleasure, mid-need.
There’s also a sensual subtext that fits Gershon’s screen persona: appetite as integrity. Liking food becomes shorthand for being embodied, generous, game. Trust, here, isn’t about morality; it’s about whether someone is willing to engage the world without turning every moment into a performance of restraint.
