"I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic"
About this Quote
The “I guess” is the tell. It’s a hedge that reads as self-protective, as if he’s preempting judgment: romantic enough to be likable, casual enough to avoid seeming earnest. That’s a familiar posture for male stars trained to project warmth without giving tabloids anything too quote-ready. He’s signaling: I can be thoughtful, but don’t make me a character in a rom-com.
Culturally, the gesture belongs to a pre-TikTok, peak-celebrity era where romance was measured in scale: surprise trips, airport reunions, the optics of spontaneity. Today it scans as slightly transactional, even power-tilted, because travel requires time, risk, and trust from the person receiving the ticket. The subtext isn’t just “I’m romantic”; it’s “I can afford romance,” and in celebrity talk, that distinction is the whole point.
