Daily Inspiration Quote by Josie Maran

The joke lands because it pretends to confess something scandalous, then swerves into the safest, most wholesome fandom imaginable. “Like most celebrities, of course” is doing all the work: it’s a parody of celebrity self-mythology, the way famous people are expected to have curated quirks that read as authentic but also broadly marketable. By framing adoration for Mario as an almost compulsory trait of fame, Maran winks at the weird feedback loop where celebrities perform relatability and audiences reward the performance.

The subtext is savvy brand management. A model saying she loves “all the Mario games” isn’t really about game criticism; it’s a signal flare: I’m not just a runway image, I’m in the same pop-cultural soup as you. Mario is perfect for that. It’s multigenerational, nearly controversy-proof, and instantly legible. You don’t need deep gamer credentials to name-check it, and “all” conveniently sidesteps taste wars, platforms, and the risk of picking the “wrong” title. It’s fandom without friction.

There’s also a sly admission about celebrity sameness. The line suggests a world where public personas come prepackaged with the same friendly hobbies, as if the press kit includes “likes video games” under “favorite foods.” It’s charming, but it’s also lightly cynical: even leisure becomes a PR asset. That’s why it works. It’s not just cute; it’s a small, polished satire of how fame sells normalcy back to us.
