#i have actually seen eddie walk down the street unbothered WITH MY OWN TWO EYES

[marsixm]

all this reminds me of eddie izzard pretty downright explicitly stating in her autobiography that she wanted to pursue acting because her mother dying when she was 6 and being sent to british boarding school traumatized her and made her desperate to feel loved. she referred to the praise one gets for performing as a "surrogate affection machine" and thats why before she did acting she did comedy and before she did comedy she did street performing. literally anything to climb the ladder

#and i have heard that to her peers shes not exactly known to be friendly #but like i dont blame someone whos been openly trans since the 80's #on male dominated comedy circuits #for developing a thick and perhaps unfriendly skin #but at the same time it goes with the same territory of that desire for fame #making one be like.... not an ordinary person in both good and bad ways #like im sorry all the big time celebs people worship. i do not trust them to be nice or have good politics #like the ones that are beyond household names. the truly like top .001% of fame #shit i even started side eyeing ben c when he started taking too many luxury watch sponsorships #but like at the same time eddie and ben c can probably walk down the street and not get stopped #bc thats kinda more the vibe in the uk #i have actually seen eddie walk down the street unbothered WITH MY OWN TWO EYES #multiple times! i was the only one who stopped her ! lmfao
