In Denial as Always

Sometimes one is judged based on the company he/she keeps, whereas others are judged based on the location they are most often seen. The cliché, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you who you are,” seems applicable to describe the hidden personality of Suppressed Celebrity (SC).

When SC was starting out, his looks broke the usual mode of male actors being pushed by his network then. Other than being good-looking, SC was also talented and did not need any technology to improve his voice during recording. He was also charming and amiable at the onset. As soon as he was made to face the camera, the network knew SC was another bankable talent.

Over the next few weeks, SC appeared in various projects to make him become familiar with the loyal audience of the network. Then, following the usual pattern, SC was paired off with Equally talented Actress (EA). The strategy delivered and a loveteam was born.

As SC and EA went through the cuteness stage of making fans yearn for their cheesy moments, press releases on the status of their relationship always implied that SC was the answer to the seeking heart of EA. When asked to comment, SC would just smile and shrug off questions pertaining to their real relationship. However, he never misses the opportunity to say that he loves her whenever the cameras are rolling in front of him.

While SC has the makings of a heartthrob, the issue of his gender keeps propping up. People started to notice the change in his attitude, that is, from an amiable person, SC was already showing crassness and rudeness. Apparently, fame did not humble him. However, others see this attitude as a manifestation of his inability to face his true identity. Then, conclusions were made when SC was seen in a place frequented by men who are cruising. One’s presence in that “secret” area indicates that one is on the lookout for a good time. Thus, people who recognized SC pretended he did not look familiar.

Perhaps, SC was just enjoying the company of the same gender, was the usual thought of the ones who saw him, and this reaction was often followed by laughter, as they knew SC could not possibly out himself just like that. After all, local showbiz and fans are worse in condemning actors who admit to be gay and SC knows that he will lose everything, from endorsements to roles, the moment he frees himself from his boxed image.

‘When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy.’― Oscar Wilde
