“You already know, each different {photograph} is the 2 of you kissing and the 2 of you hugging,” she tells her. Whereas Jennifer laughs it off, the entire interplay feels very self-aware for somebody of her degree of movie star.

Nevertheless, in the identical documentary, Jennifer goes on to share her non-public love letters from Ben with a “bunch of musicians” as a way to encourage them. Clearly, Jennifer is conscious that we expect she shares an excessive amount of of her relationship, and that’s why she gained’t share the letters instantly with us. However our collective scepticism about their relationship is sufficient for her to need to affirm their existence, tease us into wanting extra and due to this fact, push the boundaries of her non-public and public life as soon as once more.

For us regular folks, the entire level of the ‘photograph dump’ is to nonetheless publish to social media however seem such as you’re too cool for it. Benny Blanco grabbing Selena Gomez’s breast in each image is his equal of a photograph dump.

Whereas I do assume Jennifer’s motivation is, in fact, to make headlines, I additionally consider this new period of movie star consideration is an try at real candidness.

The issue these celebrities have is that as a way to keep related these days and compete with the influencers which can be more and more taking extra of their pay-checks, they have to be relatable; they should share their actual life. Nevertheless, their actual lives nonetheless have a number of smoke and mirrors to them. Actually, this present wave of celebrities over-sharing jogs my memory of our obsession with the Instagram photograph ‘dump’.
