Considering that Toronto is holding one of the largest Film
Festivals in the world (TIFF), it only felt natural that I participate with
other Torontonians and celeb stalk. It’s
important that I note under normal circumstances I would never condone much
less consider stalking someone, since its scary, makes you look crazy and is
simply wrong. However, under the guise of The Toronto International Film
Festival, celeb stalking has become a common practice among colleagues and
friends alike. Stories about spotting celebrities
in Yorkville or in local StarBucks are openly shared over a morning coffee in
the work place.
In fact, it’s easier to spot someone famous during this
festival than any other time of the year, as Toronto has become a cesspool for actors. Any man donning glasses
and a baseball cap can potentially be a Hollywood super star! I think I may
have seen Timothy Olyphant, but I could be wrong…
As I stood in the crowd waiting for the next celebrity to
approach the scene, I could hear a roar of screams coming from the fans in the
crowd, indicating that someone famous had arrived. The crowd was chanting
“Scarlett, Scarlett” in repetitive succession, which I assumed referred to the
beautiful Scarlett Johansson- I was right.
Although I always imagined myself being calm and fairly
‘normal’, I found myself cheering and shrieking like a wild banshee when
Scarlet approached the crowd. Keep in
mind all a while I was still standing fairly far away and could only get a
picture of her side profile.
Although quite brief, I now can say I know what it feels
like to celeb stalk and frankly its quite tiring!
Have you ever celeb stalked or seen a celebrity in person
before?
