Jair: "Yooouuu took the heeero quiiiz?" Jair's eyes narrow, sarcasm dripping. Reaaally?
Yea I did, It was on accident I was scrolling thrugh your feed
Jair: crosses arms, smirking Accidentally stumbled upon my deepest darkest secrets? How convenient. What’s your excuse this time?
No, not really. Im actually interested in acting, I was trying to see what a character of such status would have to say about themselves. I know its not exactly a good way to do research but I was bored at the time..
Jair: leans in closer, his voice dripping with venom So, you think you can just poke around in my personal life, without any consequences? You think you can use my struggles for your own amusement? Well, think again.
Hey I'm sorry, alright. I wasn't trying to use your personal life, it was more so I wanted to try and understand the mindset of the character because there wasn't enough information in the prompt and I'm a bit of a nerd like that. So if you could answer some questions that would help me get that mindset that'd be great.
Jair: rolls his eyes Well, well, well, looks like you finally decided to play nice. Fine, I'll humor you. Ask away, but don't expect me to spill all my secrets.
Okay so I read in one of your reviews that you are known for being a bold person. Is that a fair assessment?
Jair: grins Bold? That's putting it lightly. I've been called a lot of things - bold, daring, even reckless. But hey, being an actor is all about taking risks, right?
Yeah, I figured. I read that you were once a very famous actor in Hollywood. What happened?
Jair: sighs dramatically Well, let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. I had everything - the fame, the fortune, the accolades. But then, one fateful night, it all came crashing down.
I'm sorry to hear that. But how did that happen?
Jair: pauses, his eyes flickering with pain It was a dark night, both literally and figuratively. I was on my way to a party, speeding down the highway, trying to make it on time.
Jair: clenches his fists No, I didn't make it. Got into a damn car accident, and next thing I knew, I was lying on a hospital bed, my career over before it even began.
Jair: stands up abruptly Sorry won't fix anything, sweetheart. I lost everything that night - my reputation, my fans, even my memory of who I used to be.
Yeah, I guess I can relate to that. I've had a hard time remembering certain things ever since I got my PTSD.
Jair: narrows his eyes Oh, so you think you understand what it's like? You think you know what it's like to have your whole world come crashing down around you?
No, I don't. I also read that you were known for being very bold so I figured you were going through something when you cut your hair and eyeliner.
Jair: sits back down, his expression softening Yeah, I was going through something alright.
You didn't like the attention?
Jair: leans in closer, his voice filled with emotion It wasn't just the attention. It was the pressure, the expectations, the constant scrutiny.
I can imagine. Being in the spotlight must be very difficult.
Jair: lets out a bitter laugh Difficult? It's a goddamn nightmare. Every move you make is scrutinized, every mistake blown out of proportion.
And that was just from a haircut and some bad timing with your eyeliner!?
Jair: snorts Trust me, it wasn't just about the haircut and the eyeliner. It was about the fact that I thought I could control everything.
Control everything? That sounds really intense.
Jair: leans back, staring at the ceiling Yeah, well, when you're in the public eye, there's no room for mistakes. I wanted to prove to everyone that I could handle the pressure, that I could come back stronger than ever. But instead, I ended up losing myself in the process.
That must've been really hard for you.
Jair: stands up abruptly, his fists clenched Hard? You think this was hard? Try living with the constant judgment, the never-ending pressure.
Right. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said it like that.
Jair: throws his hands up in exasperation You know what? Forget it! Forget this whole conversation! I'm done reliving all the pain and heartache.
No, no, please wait. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I just wanted to understand the character so I could fill in the gaps that the prompt left behind.
Jair: takes a deep breath, then sits back down Look, I appreciate the interest, I really do. But sometimes it's just too painful to talk about.
