Yes I have celebrity crushes and yes I do know I won't marry them
Perhaps I'm just a late bloomer but until recent years I had never had a celebrity crush. However when I was in school Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt were pretty standard answers.
Now celebrity crushes can be a little controversial at times and often people can be mocked for their crush. A celebrity crush to people is a fantasy. Lovely in thought but no one expects it to come real.So why not just have a made up fantasy crush? Well that doesn't quite have the same affect. Allow me to explain why.
A fantasy crush can be the most perfect person in the world. You can design them down to their very last freckle. They could have Hugh Dancy's hair, Tom Hiddleston's mouth and Benedict Cumberbatche's eyes if you want. They could have Channing Tatum's body and Mads Mikkelsen's humour. You can imagine as many scenarios you like in all settings and countries but there is one thing you can't imagine free will.
Here's where a celebrity crush is different. For starters they are real so there is a tiny percent chance of meeting them unlike with a fantasy crush. They walk, talk and breathe like the rest of us. You don't have to think about what they would do as they have their own entire being. They can surprise you with their actions and make you happy or make you sad. A fantasy can't do that as you know their every move before they do.
Here's the thing we know we won't marry them. Most of us don't even entertain the idea. No matter how many times I will it I won't be able to go to a bar and just have a chat with Mads Mikkelsen about his newest acting role or go to a cafe and ask Eddie Redmayne about his day.
Yes, I do have a few celebrity crushes. I know I won't meet them, never mind marry them, and I'm fine with that. I respect the choices these people make and I respect their relationships. I will never say 'ew I hate X's girlfriend/boyfriend they aren't good for them' because my opinion doesn't matter because ultimately I don't matter.
Also, I will never shove my crush for them in their face and make them uncomfortable but I will show my love and support for their work and them as a person.
They deserve privacy and respect just like anyone else.
You shouldn't make someone feel bad about their crush because its unachievable.
You also shouldn't make someone feel bad about their crush because you don't like their crush.
Just some thoughts from a fan with too many celebrity crushes,
