>>932 'TH tries to do it American style but does it badly. Engage, mess up, step back is a familiar routine for him (not just re love life).'

Truth-to-power! It's like TH and Luke are going through the steps of some American PR manual.

1. Do ALL the social media, ALL the time (McAvoy, Fassbender, Ejiofor, Redmayne - none have twitter, that I know of).
2. Dance like a monkey when the organ grinder plays.
3. Find a cause and support it - very publicly! (It's great that he supports UNICEF, but it's so telling that Luke went on that trip. And so telling that EW does the same thing.)
4. And now this relationship that has a distinct PR flavor - maybe with others mixed in.

And the 'step back' was Seneca and THE WORK.

I don't know what you do in real life, Anon - besides travel to China to experience youku vids - but you should have Luke's job. And sort out TH's personal life while you're at it.
