>>837 I hate to say this, but my main prediction if he doesn't step back is a nervous breakdown.

I think he is a fairly fragile personality - a people pleaser, highly ambitious even for this business, thin-skinned and overly concerned wth his online rep (checking his twitter tag and so on).

Since Tayto he has been under enormous pressure. His projects have received a mixed reaction, he has a lot riding on Thor/SI, he is getting older, he has been mocked in a way that he had not experienced before, and that has had a hangover so that small silly things like the GG speech get a disproportionately unkind reaction. (I am not interested in assigning ultimate blame for this, or saying "oh it's his fault for fauxmancing" - I am just saying that we are where we are and he is currently the press's whipping boy, despite the fact that there are a lot more unattractive characters floating around (cf the Mel Gibson rehabilitation)).

So he is under a lot of strain, probably exacerbated by the poor counsel he is receiving from whoever thought that the underpants shot was a good thing, and either thought a fauxmance was ok or failed to manage a real relationship in the press.

I think he needs a proper break - for himself primarily and secondarily to let the press forget about him as a target. He had such a (semi compulsory) break in 2012-13 and I heard rumours of some kind of breakdown at that time. I think a long rest is on the cards, probably followed by a return via the theatre (as previously).

>>842 Certainly if he is having any kind of breakdown he must take time off and I hope there are people close to him looking out for his mental wellbeing. I guess my point is, if his mental faculties are firing all pistons, the boy needs to go back to work. Pronto.
He can have a stress- free promo if he keeps TayTo on lockdown. Now that the 'expose' is out in the open there needn't be more questions. If Shit Island can turn into Polished Turd Island all may be forgotten.
>>843 His US PR would have a valid point; theatre ain't got nothin on long form drama. So far his greatest success has been TV- I would advise him to look in that direction

>>842 I half joked about pulling off the highway before Britney Head Shave junction but that business a few days ago with the sad birthday tweet followed by the manic 3am cries for love and attention - it's not the behavior of someone fully happy, healthy and 'in a good place.' We said as much here and we're fairly good at assessing situations.

Whatever he decides to do, I think we can all agree, it will probably backfire on him. That seems to be the track the universe has him on at the moment.
