The irony of this Sunday morning rabbit hole is the fact that it grew from pure serendipity, as I pondered who Michael Cera was married to, after noticing a wedding ring on his finger in an Instagram reel about his role as “Allan” in Barbie (2023), and found this article:
Michael Cera and his lovely wife Nadine have proven that it IS absolutely 97.6% possible to keep your private life private, if you truly did want to keep your private life private (and didn’t tell Amy Schumer.)
It was at the bottom of this article that I found this fascinating juxtaposition of headlines.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
Just as there’s a thin line between love and hate, there might be an equally thin line between girlfriend and stalker.
COMPARE & CONTRAST:
Loud & Proud
VS.
Whatever this is casual and “pRiVAtE”
The “insider” source’s solitary, continuously-retreaded statement still gets traction months after making its first appearance in the trash tabloid press, despite many opportunities for an update in the numerous new articles magically appearing every few weeks that no one asked for because no one really believes this specific fairy tale.
it’s not just that the montages were out of character, it’s that they were as awkward and inauthentic as the rest of this has been. No organic pictures taken by another person, pictures taken on the same day, pictures of them alone. And the cringe of the scare videos, the chin and the Mario video. He could have posted one or two pics with a nice message (see, for example, Zendaya’s birthday post for Tom Holland), but instead they chose to dump a bunch of odd content, seemingly to fill holes in the narrative.
disclaimer: I’m not saying they aren’t together or aren’t married. I’m just commenting on why the relationship appears so strange from the outside.
Yeah, they've always been too much and so unnatural. You can see Tom and Zendaya out, and they look comfortable around each other; they look in love, and when they post about each other (usually on their birthdays or sharing each other's projects), it never feels too forced. They actually look like a couple.
And this whole posting thing is not something Chris has ever done in the past. I know that he didn't have Instagram back in the Minka or Jenny days, but he had Twitter, and have we ever seen him posting their relationship out like this? No. So yeah, this whole relationship seems to be everything he isn't.
Renaissance World Tour: Show 20 - Night 1, PGE Narodowy Stadium - Warsaw, Poland (6/27/23). Not only Lizzo was enjoying herself, but Tom & Zendaya was as well.
