"Like, they know that I have a habit of rubbing my earlobes, I've been doing it since I was two"
About this Quote
The pronoun game matters. "They know" implies a surrounding chorus: family, friends, stylists, handlers, maybe the public. It sketches a life lived under observation, where even self-soothing gestures get clocked and cataloged. The habit is framed not as a quirk he enjoys, but as a known trait, almost a file note in the shared dossier of "Balthazar". Celebrity, in this light, is less about being seen and more about being read.
Then he pushes the origin story back to age two. That detail anchors the habit in pre-fame, pre-choice territory: instinct, comfort, continuity. Subtext: whatever roles he plays, whatever narratives attach to him (heir, heartthrob, tabloid figure), there is an unedited self that predates the headlines. It also hints at anxiety management without naming it. A childlike self-calming tick becomes a quiet reminder that the body keeps its own biography, even when the public tries to overwrite it.
