He is a pretty boy... But I never have understood the craze for any celebrity.

Nothing like a red head to cause such a reaction. 'Be still my beating heart'

The idea of being a fangirl makes me gag.

This isn't all that surprising, look at the Beatles or Elvis. Fans have been a thing since. . . Roman gladiators (?) I think is the oldest reference to this kind of fan culture. What is different is the cheapness and ubiquity of media means such fan cultures can develop around a person much more quickly and to a much bigger size than any other time in our history. And as the internet opens up vistas for new types of creators divorced from traditional media, (like movies, books and music) then yeah, you should expect the occasional make-up tutorial artist or whatever is the next big thing to be able to cause utter havoc with just their announced presence.

This ain't the world gone mad, this is business as normal.

Haha no. I actually live in Bristol though I'm originally from the other side of the country.
