"I went out with people, but never anything too serious. It wasn't that easy. Now it's something I'm really looking forward to"
About this Quote
“It wasn’t that easy” is where the subtext peeks through. He doesn’t name the obstacles, but you can hear them: fame that distorts motives, schedules that swallow time, a public identity that arrives before you do. For an actor whose face was globally recognizable before adulthood, dating isn’t just intimacy - it’s logistics, security, and the constant question of whether someone likes you or the role you played. The vagueness is strategic; specifics invite speculation.
The pivot to the present tense - “Now it’s something I’m really looking forward to” - performs a reclaiming. It suggests a new phase: not “settling down” in the celebrity-cliché sense, but finally having the breathing room to want things on his own terms. The emotional effect is understated optimism, a grown-up posture after years of being frozen in public memory as a kid in a school robe.
