Dear Kristen,
Seeing the paparazzi get to you like we saw Friday is heartbreaking.
You have spent 99.9% of the past few years with the armor that allows you to ignore it. I never watch the videos because its too much. I'm told what these scumbags yell at you to provoke reactions.
If I could, I would run interference on these guys as often as I could. I am pretty sure I would end up in jail.
I am also very sorry that much of your personal life has to be played out in public. I don't think there has been a celebrity as polarizing as you and I will never get why. If I had to guess, it's because you don't put off a public persona. Your only acting when on set.
The biggest factor that affects the crazies is the man you are associated-with. This isn't his fault and they have harmed him as well. I I hope you know the number of people that love you is much greater than those that spend their time finding ways to hate you.
There have been child actors who have struggled in adulthood. So far, it looks like you will succeed, if you want to keep this up. I hope you keep good mentors that you listen too.
You have been the first and definitely the last "celebrity" I will have concerns for. I actually started this blog in 2010 because I was blown away by your performances that i had just discovered. There are many that know more about you than me, so I will leave that #1 fan tag for someone else. But if its only males being counted, I must be near the top.
I despise all the forms of entertainment media. Very few have any ethics and we know when they use the word "source" there is a 99.9% chance they made it up. The only exception I can find to this trend is Entertainment Weekly. If they don't name a source, its a lie. If you were not out there making news, I would not pay any attention to any of these entertainment outfits.
The trait that made me identify with you so much is your introverted ness. I'm not really talking about shyness and I agree with those that say you are not awkward but rather supremely confident. But
those moments on TV when you appeared nervous, yet you faced the fear, this made many of us love you.
--those that have met and worked with you rate you as a top class pro and fun to be around.
--you make funny random gestures that are very endearing
--You can act in any genre at a top level
--your intelligence is off the charts. This comes out in interviews when your words have trouble keeping up with thoughts.
--your beautiful even if you try not to be.
--there is not a celebrity I would put above you when it comes to beauty
-- your love for animals and loyalty to your friends is wonderful.
If there is trouble in your personal life right now, just know that it will pass. I'll spare you any cliques.
I look forward to watching you pick up an academy award someday. Or even if you decide to live a lower profile, I'll never forget you.
Yes I wish I had been fortunate as to have been in the same circles as you so I could really know you. I wish I had been born a couple decades later in the Valley to have had a chance to know you. I hope you have what you need around you in the way of friends. It seems that might be the case but I'm in no position to say. I also hope you are not too proud to seek therapy, regardless if its for individuals or couples.
No matter what happens in your life from here, thank you for the joy you have provided so far.
Best of luck
Dan
