Coping with His Grand Illusion

Sometime ago, the staff at a local pub got an unexpected call from Hunky Model Actor (HM), who was requesting for an escort as he was on his way to the said location. HM said that he feared he would be mobbed when he arrives. The staff was puzzled, as HM is not even a regular fixture in the big networks these days.

HM began his career when he won in a modeling contest. At that time, HM already had a well-shaped body and was generating attention from both females and gays. His boyish looks were so refreshing then that he was thought to become a highly sought after talent.

As years passed, HM could not surpass his contemporaries in terms of acting and appeal. Soon, he left his first network and joined the rival station, where he had ample exposure and even alleged romantic links with female talents. However, his fame remained on status quo, and worse, his name and face did not generate recall. After a couple of years and getting fewer projects, HM left his second network and moved to his third.

Most showbiz observers say that moving from one network to another can spell disaster to one’s career. While others were successful in terms of their network movement, most end up with worse careers and soon fade away. In HM’s case, a third network did not make a difference.

When HM arrived at his destination, no one paid attention to him, which is similar to the way people view treat him in his third network. Thus, the staff could not understand why HM even requested for four escorts. Why does HM think a crowd would mob him? Was he anticipating something else? After all, the grapevine is buzzing with HM’s other sideline, but that is another story.
