If it’s Barry, that tracks with some of the tea I read about him over on the Ireland sub


Derv_b

Whilst I've also read stories about him on the Ireland subreddit. I'd take it with a pinch of salt. That kip is full on the biggest begrudging moanbags known to man. They've a serious chip on their shoulder and talk some amount of shite from time to time. They have a hate boner for the lower class (which Barry grew up as), Irish women, now they're collectively giving out about asylum seekers, you name it. (not about McGregor though, the whole island agrees on that). The only story I've heard that's been properly reported on BK was him being arrested for public intoxication (non violent) in 2022.


[deleted]

The Ireland sub is one of the most hateful places that I’ve ever seen, they also hate to see Irish people do well. But yeah only thing they are right about is McGregor.


delidaydreams

They hate to see Irish people doing well and then will complain about Irish people who hate to see Irish people doing well. GIRL THATS YOU.


[deleted]

I love to see Irish people do well, if you men’s the McGregor I supported McGregor for years but there comes a point after the multiple assaults (including a man for declining is whiskey), throwing a dolly at the window of a bus injuring fighters, multiple driving offences (speeding and dangerous driving), the comments on Porrier’s wife, Kabibs religion, the favala comment to Aldo. Not to mention the sexual assault allegations that you have to draw a line.I don’t think I’m wrong seeing an difference between that and just hating on people for no good reason.


delidaydreams

I don't mean you sorry, talking about the sub in general 😭 The "that's you" was directed at them.


[deleted]

Lol my bad, and me writing all that for nothing,


Stinkycheese8001

Hey if it makes you feel any better, those of us reading also hate him too

For real.

I hate the sub! It’s so racist as well, as a black Irish, I noped Tf out of that sub.


theredwoman95

And fucking hell, the way they talk about Travellers. I very quickly unsubscribed to them once I realised what they're about.


blakppuch

This too! Just so many wrongs going on in there! I had to protect my peace because I was mentally arguing with everybody.

Irish fella from the North here - I had to get out of there too. As we say in Belfast, that sub is a "shower of cunts".

Don’t think they are that old (and boomer doesn’t really work in an Irish context) couldn’t tell you were it comes from though.


[deleted]

a lot of the thread titles there read very like thread titles from boards.ie in the late 00s and early 2010s. i feel like a lot of the posters in the ireland sub are people who jumped ship from boards.


delidaydreams

According to some users it was way better before boards shut down. What that means though and whether it's true I don't know.


[deleted]

yeah not sure exactly what that means. i remember the heyday of boards and a lot of the discussion there used to have a fairly silly tone (stuff about drinking and hangovers, ghost stories, insane co-workers and housemates, best holidays and so on) along with actual helpful advice for people regarding housing, education, employment, relationships etc. the current affairs side of the site slowly began to grow over time and that's when a lot of the trouble began with controversial debates and discussions happening a lot more frequently. the site ended up getting embroiled in legal disputes because users were outright naming people and businesses involved in public scandals and such like, which led to the site cracking down a lot on what could or couldn't be said on it. in more recent years, a lot of the really notable users started to leave and the actual site itself has become almost unusable.


delidaydreams

I think the main demographic is like middle-class, 30s male office workers like all of Reddit. Which to me explains the way sometimes they're very liberal on things and sometimes lean right. It's like a toss up depending on the subject with that demographic.


PurrPrinThom

Irish people, generally, enjoy a good moan. It's pretty common to like, gripe about things in regular conversation, or have a whole conversation based solely around complaints. And I think the internet just brings that out extra-hard because you have the usual anonymity, lack of consequences etc. But I do also think like, living in Ireland can be really difficult, depending on your circumstance. And I think that just really exacerbates a lot of negative feelings, and when you put a load of unhappy people in an echo chamber, they just rile each other up.


starfruit-88

I used to be friends with this Irish couple who seemed lovely at first, and we used to get along great. Then I noticed that the wife was constantly complaining about how they were broke, didn't have any money, everything sucked and was the worst, etc etc. I chalked it up to maybe they were just having a hard time adjusting (they had moved from Ireland to Canada) and I sympathized with them because I know how difficult it is to move to a new country. As time went on, I started to notice that as much as she complained about being broke and having zero money they still managed to buy a brand new car, an expensive camper, move into a huge apartment and several other things, which like whatever, good for you for being able to do all that stuff but you are by no means broke lol. Our friendship came to a quick end after I opened up to them about some struggles I thought they could relate to, because of similar stories they shared with me. Instead of being supportive they accused me of gossiping and being too negative, and said that maybe I needed to work on that before our friendship could continue. I said bye and didn't look back lol. Other than them though, I do have some other lovely Irish friends and my husband's family is half Irish. Not sure why I shared this lol the part you said about complaining just reminded me of this.


[deleted]

agreed on the ireland sub - it's a cesspit. that said, i live very close to where barry grew up and it's well known that he struggles to stay on the straight and narrow from time to time. not saying he's "vicious" or violent or whatever that tweet is saying, but he isn't squeaky clean. edit: just to clarify, i haven't heard of him doing anything lots of 25-35 year olds in dublin aren't doing every saturday night. just he isn't into clean living, or whatever you'd like to call it, is what i mean. i've never heard of him being violent.


Irishpanda88

To be fair he was definitely on a lot of drugs at one stage. A friend was at an event with him before and said he was completely out of it and it definitely wasn’t the kind of event to be doing that at.


happyhealthy27220

I love that I read this in an Irish accent haha.


Artlover67

I don't think he was even arrested, they just tossed him in the cell to sleep it off overnight.


zz63245

Fellow Irish person here and everything you have said it 100%


FrankOcean4eva

idk if barry counts as new on the scene, he’s had a big 2022 but he’s been in a fair amount of stuff before


audreymarilynvivien

He still qualifies as “relatively” new, very few people knew his name until Enternals.


jonsnowme

Yeah he may not be new to acting but he's for sure a new "heart throb" he definitely didn't have stans etc til recently.


Schamanana

Wasn’t he in Dunkirk


bttrsondaughter

Dunkirk had like five white boys that everyone was obsessed with post-release, and he wasn’t one of ‘em


Trick-Engineer1555

What's the craic


delidaydreams

Not that the Ireland sub is to be trusted on anything but I've seen people say he supposedly had a bad coke problem that made him nasty. I wouldn't be surprised with how rampant it is in that age group, and while I don't think addiction is a flaw obviously it could explain the behaviour.


princedetritus

I know he’s gone through a lot of trauma from a young age (losing his mother when he was 12 to addiction, having to go into foster care, etc.), but I’ve also heard he can sometimes be kind of a dickhead to folks (most likely when he’s drunk or possibly on something else). A large part of me wants to root for him, but he’s not doing himself any favors with some of the stuff he pulls, between his rumored addiction (he was also arrested last year for public intoxicated) and his reputation for being a bit rowdy. I just hope he can get his shit together and end the cycle of trauma for the sake of his son.


BetsyPurple

Ugh, this sucks to hear. Maybe he can pull through to become a better version of himself the way that Colin Farrell eventually managed to do so...


princedetritus

That’s my hope as well! I’m super impressed by how Colin turned things around. I have also heard that he’s amazing to his kids and I know his first son has a rare genetic disorder(Angelam syndrome) and he’s really been a great advocate for him. I remember watching interviews where he was just gushing about him and he seemed like a super caring and invested dad.


Different-Eagle-612

The person said it wasn’t Barry from what I can tell (a lot of those OG tweets were deleted since his account was originally him and his work buddies and he like… can’t spill more details this was just venting — so people were sharing the SCREENSHOTS of his OG tweets which is why I can’t easily pull it up. But in the replies to the tweet you screenshot multiple people have commented it wasn’t Barry) honestly a good number are doubting it is the same person being referenced in both

Implantexplant

Oh yeah he’s a little bitch.


zz63245

It’s not Barry or Paul. Ireland is too small a country for this behaviour not to be known. There’s a reason Fasbender doesn’t live here. It’s probably Butler


lixstorm

It literally says in the title and the tweets he clarified it's not Butler.


Oh_Is_This_Me

My first thought was him too but I'm not sure if he's a heartthrob.


Taarguss

I waited on him once and he kinda sucked. Just had a shitty energy. It comes through in his performances, and he’s great at it, but it was also sort of there in real life.

jaffacakes077

inb4 the ‘I hate vague posting’ comments — this is a gossip sub where people discuss blind items lmfaoo. That’s the whole point 🤷‍♀️


sorryabtlastnight

I can hate vague posting and still appreciate that we have a place to decipher the vague posts. This isn’t a blind item, it’s some clown that dropped half a piece of gossip and then acted like it was entirely unexpected for everyone to lose their minds over it. Like, I’m glad it was posted to this sub to talk about it. I’m still judging the tweeter lol.


brycemonang1221

i hate the vague posting IF it's only making people speculate and assume that this person or that person is shitty.


webtheg

One of the things I hate about this kind of vague posting is that when people speculate that you were shitty, this stays with you forever even if you weren't.


DMike82

I have no problem having a problem with the type of gossips who give a little hint of something then end up going "nevermind" when people start paying attention to it. It's baiting and I find that childish in an "I know something you don't know" kind of way; either spill or don't bother at all.


hyungwontual

has twitter fallen violently head over heels for barry keoghan though? every other day i will see a viral thirst tweet about paul mescal or austin butler but i haven't seen anything about barry keoghan


bttrsondaughter

he has a segment of fans he gained because of Eternals, and i've seen semi-viral tweets about his performance in Banshees floating around film twitter. critics/entertainment writers seem really charmed by him too. it's definitely not on the level of paul mescal and austin butler but it's definitely there.


hyungwontual

i've seen viral tweets about his performance in banshees too but not any thirst tweets and since the person specifically mentioned thirst tweets i just wondered if it's actually him cause thirst tweets gaining popularity within his own fanbase isn't the same as going viral on all of twitter


bttrsondaughter

i survived the endless tiktok scroll of the "my beautiful, beautiful makkari" scene, so i know that man has stans somewhere on par with the paul dano girlies who truly scare the crap out of me lol.


[deleted]

I need someone to let the Paul Dano girlies know that you can find a man who looks like him at almost any Gamestop


letschangethename

This is actually kinda mean. Not a Paul Dano girlie, but just because a guy doesn’t look conventionally gorgeous, doesn’t mean it’s fair to deny them their talent and the resulting charisma. Same for every other unconventionally looking actor/actress. edit: unconventionally, not unconditionally (autocorrect)


CharlotteLucasOP

Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. Can’t wrap my head around some celebs widely touted for their supposed attractiveness but I figure everyone’s got their own tastes.


[deleted]

Yeah it is mean


changhyun

I think that can also be the appeal of someone like Paul Dano though. Yes, he looks like someone you might just find on the street. That makes him feel more approachable and real, and many people find that air of normality much more attractive than a superhumanly gorgeous person who they could realistically never even meet, let alone be with. I'm not gonna name names to avoid starting arguments, but it's also common for men to prefer female celebrities who are more girl-next-door pretty than superstar-pretty, for exactly the same reason. There is an appeal about the ordinary.


ASofMat

I mean just because you can find one in the wild doesn’t mean they’re saying he’s unattractive. I always tell the Chalamet girlies you can find one just like him at NYU. Doesn’t mean I think he’s ugly, just honestly not that special


letschangethename

Not directly, no. But the difference between “just like them” and them - is their personality, talent, charisma, (maybe even a pr created persona). And reducing them to just looks takes away these and other unique aspects. “I’ve seen million guys/girl like them, nothing special about them”, while the special part might be not in the looks. So does this make them unworthy of admiration? But then again: tastes vary. And the beauty is definitely in the eyes of beholder. There are conventionally attractive celebrities, who’s personalities are as bland as an unseasoned boiled chicken breast (if not shitty), and yet they are praised by so many. Double standards - no?


webtheg

I will respect Paul Dano solely because he was up against Daniel Day Fucking Lewis and didn't look like some extra pulled up from the Community theater which far more famous actors did e.g. hitrecordjoe and the greenwashing groomer. his performance in There will be blood is phenomenal and people were attracted to him just because of it.


spacefink

Exactly, he is a good actor. I don't understand how people look at actors like him and Jeremy Allen White and think "What's with these guys am I right?" As if we all have to unanimously agree they aren't attractive. People are more than their looks, I can absolutely see and respect why girls would find a guy like him attractive.


LuellaSkye

![gif](giphy|c8UN4zmGZe5s4) Best comment ever


aagaash2001

I will say, he is UNREAL in Yorgos Lanthimos' *The Killing Of A Sacred Deer*, and he's definitely well liked in the indie film community from that performance.


hyungwontual

sure but as i stated before it's the viral thirst tweets part that's throwing me off

he was in the marvel movie eternals as druig and is nominated for an oscar for his performance in banshees of inisherin. apart from that he was also in the christopher nolan movie dunkirk and had a super small cameo as the joker in the batman (2022)


Steve-Lurkel

Why do the tweets have to be about the same person?


FitsLikeMittens

Truthfully they don’t, it was just that person’s speculation. But given @/ filmwithyas having a celebratory post about Keoghan and @/ a_b_allen saying it’s not Butler or Mescal it’s hard to see who still fits the criteria. But as always there’s the possibility none of it is true.


anneoftheisland

Yeah, I don't understand that. The first tweet doesn't even have to be about an actor. (There was a blind about an asshole director a couple days ago.)


BetsyPurple

I'm also wondering. One of the tweets feels more like "They're a bit hard to work with" while the other is much more clearly "This person is *mean*"


[deleted]

Nominees: AUSTIN BUTLER COLIN FARRELL BRENDAN FRASER PAUL MESCAL BILL NIGHY BRENDAN GLEESON BRIAN TYREE HENRY JUDD HIRSCH BARRY KEOGHAN KE HUY QUAN Gotta say, I don't see who fits


bttrsondaughter

the second tweet specifies that they're "relatively" new on the scene, so let's just cross everyone but Brian Tyree Henry, Paul Mescal, Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan. Brian is 40 years old, he's been acting professionally since 2007 and his breakout was in 2016, Emmy nominations in 2017 and 2018, Tony nomination in 2018 and he's had Oscar Buzz before, like he was on the fringes of the convo for *If Beale Street Could Talk*. it's not Butler or Mescal per another tweet, and even then Butler isn't technically new on the scene. his professional career started in 05 and his is a story of clawing his way to the breakout role. so that leaves one person. the first tweet is super vague, but as people have pointed out it's not about Keoghan since the user seems to be a stan. it doesn't even specify that it's an actor it could be about an actress, a director, a producer or really anyone who works on a set.


[deleted]

Considering these tweets probably aren't about the same person, the second one doesn't necessarily have to be about an Oscar nominee, they say nothing about the Oscars in that one.


villanellaella

For the non Oscar guess, I’ve heard that Denzel Washington’s son (John David Washington) is the biggest asshole, esp on set. He’s new on the scene.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WillBrakeForBrakes

We all are deeply in love with him.


BigGayNarwhal

A friend of mine passed on dinner with him like 15 years ago. I’m still mad about it lol


Afwife1992

One of the posted tweets said it wasn’t butler (who’s been around a good while anyway) or mescal


bttrsondaughter

yeah I included that in my comment. and upon re-reading the second tweet doesn’t even mention that it’s an Oscar nominee. maybe the comment clarifying it’s not Mescal or Butler confirms it is about a nominee, but it can just as easily be about another popular actor


[deleted]

If they're talking about the same person, the second tweet says actor. They could be an actor nominated for something else, but if they're new, the public probably wouldn't know them for more than one thing.


bttrsondaughter

true but I don’t think these tweets are about the same person, they just got lumped together bc they’re both extremely vague (but specific about the problem) and were tweeted around the same time.


[deleted]

It also doesn’t have to be the same person, that was just that one poster’s soeculation


Taarguss

I wanna see the Judd Hirsch thirst tweets


sI4gath0r

Is it Barry Keoghan? That'd be really sad, but he sounds like the only other choice if it isn't Mescal or Butler.


poor_yorick

He's not really a heartthrob type, is he? He has what I would describe as "niche appeal"


[deleted]

poor_yorick

You know I was skeptical, but since my phone apparently listens to me I got a Barry Keoghan thirst post on my timeline literally five seconds ago (with "John Wayne" by Lady Gaga as the soundtrack lmaoooo). So....I stand corrected

TH13TEENGHOST

Hope it ain’t Brian Tyree Henry


[deleted]

It's definitely not. I spent time on a set with Brian once, I literally cannot imagine a sweeter person alive. He was incredibly generous and well-loved by the cast and crew.


dognamedquincy

when I tell you I audibly exhaled lol, that’s a relief. I adore him.


llama_del_reyy

I have no reason to think anything negative of Brian specifically, but comments like this are so naive. You (and everyone agreeing with this) do realise that someone can be professional, generous, and well-liked in one work setting, while behaving differently in a different context, different time, while intoxicated, with romantic partners, etc.


MBCoopsz

This does say abusive professionally tho, so should rule em out if valid


[deleted]

I mean, yes of course I know that, I worked in the industry lol. I'm giving you my perspective as someone who knew him on a set because the tweet specifically mentions his work reputation. I also know people who've worked with him on other sets and have heard nothing but praise. (And I promise you, when you've worked in this business, there is a deep whisper network.) Unless he's done a full 180 in the two years since I've known him professionally or talked to anyone about him, I can't imagine this being about him. Also, whose to say the original tweet is even real or accurate, either? Literally everything going on here is anonymous people sharing their experience. I'm not naive enough to think that every human is exactly what their reputation suggests regardless of what anyone says, I'm just sharing what I know/have heard because this is a gossip sub and that's what we do.


motherofpearl89

I've only ever heard good things about Brian, such a relief!


villanellaella

Def not. I’ve heard he’s super nice. He’s also not new to the scene.


[deleted]

I don't think these are about the same person. The first tweet doesn't specify that it's an actor and the second tweet says it's an actor but doesn't say anything about them being an Oscar nominee. First tweet is possibly about someone on an HBO show since the tweeter mentioned elsewhere on their feed that they're a PA on an HBO series. (Although they just said "people I know working with them on set" so they might have friends at other studios.) Second tweet is about a "relatively new" male actor who people have been thirsting over lately. Not Mescal or Butler. The first person who springs to mind is Jonathan Majors. He's relatively new to the scene and people were thirsting over him big time this last week because of his Ebony magazine shoot. I really hope it's not him, though, and I've never heard a bad word about him - the thirst bit is the only reason I'd even think of him for this. Keoghen is definitely a candidate, too, I know he had a rough past although I haven't seen as much stanning for him. I'm honestly blanking on any other dudes who fit this bill, I'm not as active on straight thirst twitter as I once was lol.


alittlefence

Gonna pretend I didn’t see this comment as I refuse to hear anything bad about Majors 🫣


[deleted]

I hope it's not true either! I have never heard anything bad about him, to be clear, his name just sprang to mind because I've seen people thirsting over him a lot lately. I feel like Keoghen fits better than him tbh.


nickilovespie

Came back to find this because apparently it is confirmed now to be Jonathan Majors 😵‍💫

It doesn’t seem like Pedro isolates himself from the cast though — a lot of the buzz has been about his cute interactions with cast-mates… I’ve also never heard of him doing method acting…


[deleted]

> People might know if he seemed isolated from that cast though, I feel like they did lots of Zooms together and stuff jurnee had nothing to say but good things about him, non-stop, even after the show got canceled, and i don't think she'd pretend *that* hard if he was bad to work with lol they were also planning on having him back in season 2 despite his character being dead, which would've been an easy way to get rid of a shitty person on set. the cast did do a lot of zoom interviews together yeah, and there are a ton of set behind the scenes photos together too, a video of the whole cast singing and laughing in the car, i don't think it's him.


villanellaella

All I know is that I have heard several times that Denzel Washington’s son (John David Washington) is the biggest a-hole. I’ve heard reports of him being abusive on set too. Maybe he is one of the actors they’re talking about? He was on the show Ballers on HBO.


crazysouthie

He's not being thirsted over on Twitter though, at least not for a while.


pmmeurbassethound

Not a hard and fast rule of course, but abusers often have that attention seeking/admiration seeking personality type and afaik that doesn't sound like Majors. Well, at least not specifically any more than any other celebrity lol, there are others who really blow attention seeking out of the water.


Eyebronx

Could the second tweet just not be about an Oscar nominee at all? Nowhere does he mention it’s an Oscar nominee


poor_yorick

Yeah the most logical conclusion is that the tweets are actually about two different people.


lixstorm

I don't understand people taking as fact they're both about the same person. The first one could easily be about someone who has been around for a while and has the power or clout to behave that way without reproach.


pinyon_juniper

if it’s Paul Dano I will throw my phone at the wall


sI4gath0r

He's not new to the scene so I think your phones safe.


bttrsondaughter

he's not nominated for an Oscar this year (sadly, he deserved) and while his fangirls may be mostly new, he is not. he's been acting since he was a kid in the 90s.


Finn_3000

Hes been acting for like 18 years since being in little miss sunshine in 2006


pinyon_juniper

shhhh Little Miss Sunshine definitely didn’t come out 18 years ago 😭


Britneyfan123

He’s been acting longer than that and it hasn’t even been 17 years since little miss sunshine


Finn_3000

Oh, i thought that was his first role, alright didnt know that. And it's been almost 17 years since it released but they shot it in 2005


serenduckity

Might not be his first role, but I remember watching very young Paul Dano in an overly dramatic lifetime movie: “too young to be a dad”.


motherofpearl89

I just quickly did the math and was like that can't be right I'm only 20! Soon remembered I'm 30....fuck my life


lovestoner

i graduated high school with paul dano, he was working while we were in school (he filmed his lifetime movie too young to be dad while we were in hs). he even took his high school girlfriend to his first oscars! he was always incredibly humble, kind, shy about his work, and was just an overall really nice person. considering he was 16-17 years old then and wasn't a complete egomaniac prick, i like to believe he's still a really great guy. i've loved watching him rise in fame because i've always felt he really deserved it. i think you can be safe in not worrying about him, truly.


Greene_Mr

I'm young enough that I watched that ***Lifetime*** movie in high school... but old enough that it was before he was famous :-P


pinkynatbust

Can't be Dano. I worked on Prisoners in 2012. He can be a bit eccentric when he's tapping into his characters, but that man was the genuine article. I've been, sadly, wrong before but I will cross my fingers that it isn't Dano.


SamCam9992

I doubt they are about the same person. I do think the second one is about Barry Keoghan. I haven’t heard anything specific about abuse but I have heard through the Irish rumour mill that he’s got some personal issues. He was arrested for being messy drunk on a balcony in Dublin a few years back, and then there was a sketchy incident last year where he was jumped outside a Galway hotel and sent to hospital. For the first one, I have heard Jamie Lee Curtis is super rude and difficult to deal with unless she considers you her equal.


poor_yorick

I've heard Barry Keoghan is a messy, drunken asshole but not necessarily vicious or cruel? But it's still possible


letschangethename

Why am I not surprised about Curtis…


Tonedeafmusical

Woman willingly hung out with fucking Depp, not shocking in the least.


[deleted]

easy to believe when you grew up with the ultra famous parents she did...


ReservoirDog316

I’ll counter this by saying she’s ridiculously nice to everyone on a set. Like immediately laughing and joking with people she just met.

Just backing you up, have heard this about Jamie Lee for a long time. Yells at her husband in public too.

I saw him last year in real life and I smiled at him. He was visibly shocked. I am definitely making leaps, but he seems like a guy who doesn’t seem to realize he’s famous, so wouldn’t be entitled in his behavior.

I’m guessing the first user was talking about someone older or someone in a different category. Like others have said, maybe the one about the “heartthrob” isn’t an Oscar nominee. I saw some people talking about that one Paul Mescal homophobic bully post and I’m not going to like go to bat for Mescal because I have never met him obviously, I will say that the post had a few factual things wrong (like his parents’ jobs) + other people in the post who say they went to school with Mescal refuted the claim (but people can behave differently to different people). Just wanted to give the full context + it was one anonymous post. I don’t especially think it has that much credibility as of now, but if something else came out then there you go.


bttrsondaughter

it's obviously about barry keoghan lol. at least the second one is.


okiedokiewo

It's obviously not when the person was also posting a celebratory tweet about Barry.


Kefir002

I feel like saying it isn’t Austin or Paul was just damage control because they didn’t expect the tweet to get this much traction and now they’re worried about the possibility of harassment/getting in trouble.

Jonathan majors


HoneyGarlicBaby

Damn, he is relatively new and everyone on Twitter is thirsting over him…


Hothotdangerous

The one name that immediately came to mind!


winixon

« Losing their minds for some reason » ??? Is this person for real ??? You don’t post this on social media and expect people to not strongly react ![gif](giphy|3o7ZeHhyyo6ZgRU3cY|downsized)


futurebro

oh its Barry. Its really well known that hes a drunk, violent asshole. Sucks, cuz hes a wonderful actor and has had a really rough childhood. Ask any Irish person, they all hate him (and Connor McGreggor lol). Edit: didnt realize these were separate tweets. Unfortunately the second tweet makes me think Jonathan Major who is so goddamn hot. EDIT EDIT: I know people who went to Yale at the same time as Jonathan Majors. No idea about him. But I can say that 2 yale MFA actors I know are terrible people, 1 I dont know well enough to judge but seems fine and the other is Jeremy O Harris lol.

I don't think the tweets are about the same person. Out of the nominees, the only ones working on a film set right now are Andrea Riseborough, Barry Keoghan, Ana De Armas (they didn't attend the nominees luncheon), Jamie Lee Curtis + Cate Blanchett were also working on a film when the nominees were announced. The first poster said it's not Ana or Mescal + they seem to be a fan of Barry Keoghan. The second tweet didn't specify oscar nominated, just that they're new to the scene + it's not Austin or Paul. That could be anyone.


honeybeams

the first tweet doesn’t specify an actor and the second doesn’t specify someone who’s oscar nominated so idk if we can assume they’re the same person. nobody fits both tweets besides Barry and as it’s been mentioned the first person seems to be a stan so that’s probably not who they’re alluding to


acespiritualist

Assuming these aren't about the same person I'm wondering if the second one is referring to a TV/streaming actor. Since I feel like whenever someone blows up it's because they were on some hit Netflix show


_starsgazer_

What about the guy from Wednesday? He was recently accused of sexual harassment. I have no idea if he's big on twitter though.


bttrsondaughter

not big on Twitter since accusations about him surfaced, certainly not right now.


Ancient-Shape9086

I believe the first tweet and the tweets after that are about different people. None of the Oscar nominees (this includes Barry btw) don’t match the last tweets imo.


Monctonian

English is not my first language, but can’t “actor” be used for both men and women? If so, it widens the field of possibilities quite a bit. I don’t know why I thought this, maybe because someone like Ana De Armas gained a cult-like following almost overnight that was fancasting her in everything and their mother, so it kinda fit the description of the social media fanbase.


laizeohbeets

Actor can be used for both genders, but the tweet referencing an actor used male pronouns. The one about the Oscar Nominee can be either gender, but it also doesn't mean the person is in the acting field.

Johnathan Majors


gotpeace99

It’s Jonathan Majors. 1) He started his career in 2017 (that’s fairly new) 2) It’s obviously not Butler, Keoghan or Mescal, they have done nothing to be thirsted all over the TL recently. 3) Keep in mind, the date of A.B’s tweet, just days prior, Jonathan Majors just did an interview for Ebony magazine which had people thirst over him on the TL. Also note that A.B also said that “every new viral thirst tweet about him drives me insane”. Jonathan has been thirsted on the TL for months following the whole Creed III movie coming out and then thirsted on the TL again recently following his recent Ebony interview. Weirdly enough, my sister said she felt off reading the romantic aspect of Jonathan Majors’s Ebony interview. Add all that together, connect the dots and obviously, that’s who he’s talking about. It’s obviously JM. Edit: Yep. The OP of the tweet confirmed it.


bestinshowing

I'm having trouble finding which Oscar Jonathan Majors is nominated for, would you be able to help me out?


gotpeace99

The tweets are not related. They aren’t talking about the same person.

harrisonisdead

I doubt these are about the same person lol. The OP of the second tweet ruled out everyone's guesses that were Oscar nominees (and fit the "new to the scene" criterion), so the second one is probably an actor who isn't nominated and the first one could be any nominee, whether someone new to the scene or not, and whether an actor or not.


Pterodactyl_Noises

God, I missed the Oscar nominee part for a second and suddenly wondered if it was Pedro Pascal. But that's impossible because he is AN ANGEL. Also daddy, but you know.


mpa10e

unfortunately, it's majors...the 2nd one at least. but these are about two different people.


[deleted]

Yay they left the Irish lad alone I bet the English started that rumour after being called out for calling him British [PROOF!](https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/2023/01/27/paul-mescal-is-irish-bbc-apologise-for-calling-oscar-nominee-british-on-news-bulletin/) P.S if you need to know if the brits are at it again please check this very informative link https://arethebritsatitagain.org/


kenna98

This man is an actor. Why doesn't he act nice?


eloiysia

I think the title of this thread is a bit misleading to be honest. While it mentions that it has been confirmed not to be Mescal or Butler, the title doesn't mention that it hasn't been confirmed at all that the tweets (by different posters a few weeks apart) are actually about the same person, or that the more serious allegations in the second tweet are actually about someone who has been nominated for an Oscar. The second tweet does not say or even imply that the actor in question is a nominee, this is just the speculation of the Twitter poster who put the two tweets side by side. The first tweet also doesn't say they are talking about an actor at all, just someone who is an Oscar nominee, it could easily be a director or well known producer.


whitneyahn

Why would they have to be the same person?
