Dating a minor celebrity?

[jamesacaster]

Hi,

I really like this girl who is a minor celebrity. She is an actor like myself, and has been a semi-regular in Casualty and has been in Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider and Turn Up Charlie. We're both 15. I've only ever met her once, but she was so lovely and I've never felt the same way about anyone before (not even my two-year serious relationship which ended last year). The only problem is finding the best way to speak to her because there are two people who could be a problem:

a) Her mum is my agent. She follows me on Instagram, and the agency name is on my Instagram and twitter bio. If I was to contact her through one of those sites, she would find out that her mum is my agent. This could be helpful - her mum might approve of me (I mean she did choose to represent me at the end of the day) but it might make my working relationship with her mum difficult, especially if I didn't end up talking to the girl.

b) I am basic friends with one of her really close friends. The friend and I text every know and then and we used to see each other at a dance class, but the girl I like and the mutual friend are best friends. The girl again follows me on Instagram, so she MIGHT make a connection. Again, this could be good or bad - the friend may encourage her to talk to me, or may advise her against it for whatever reason.

I have thought about sending a letter to her fan mail, but then giving her a method of contact to get back to me causes the same problems as mentioned above. I'm not into her because of her fame - if anything that's a put-off - but she is the most lovely and beautiful person I have ever met. And I can't give up without trying.

Please advise what you would do in this situation. Would you try and get to speak to her through the mutual friend? Would you just suck it up and message her? I'm so desperate to speak to her and potentially tell her how I feel that

For comparison, she has around 25k Instagram followers, while I have around 2k. I have a basic following from my YouTube channel, probably slightly more well known than most, but it's not as big as hers.

Thanks in advance,
James.

Ask her Mum to introduce u to her and tell
her u met her before but would like to get
to know her better. Forget bout the agent
thing for now and c how it works out. Its
not like these people r strangers to u. If u
don't ask then u will not know. Go about it
in a slow way-don't look too eager.

Sorry but i don't believe because this thread somehow doesn't feel real. But i'm maybe wrong. A celebrity here? Why not?

Don’t I repeat DON’T approach or try to flirt with a celebrity via their fanmail.


As a celebrity yourself just imagine if someone did that to you, it’s creepy and given the history of celebrity stalkers, it immediately triggers security concerns.


Just befriend her like a normal person and forget the “famous” dynamic and just say hi and talk about things you have in common. At least you can compare career interests?


Like what got you started in the industry etc.

I have no idea about such things. Celebs and such. Seems to be just an avarage problem every teen may face sometimes in some way.

I dated a girl who was the daughter of my English teacher and I didn't care a bit about that fact. Because in the first place it was all about the girl, me and our possible relationship. The parents were later discussed. But luckily they were not a problem either.

So I would say that if this girl really interests you, simply contact her and just wait and see how the contact develops.
