i wonder how certain people on twitter would feel about the fact that it was so much harder for me to come to terms with my asexuality than my bisexuality
literally living my worst nightmare bless him
Hudson Williams opens up about navigating his sudden rise to fame after ‘Heated Rivalry’ 🤍 (via @globeandmail)
“Production was under way at the peak of the Heated Rivalry frenzy, which at that point was still new and strange for Williams. It was early March and over the past three months, he had gone from relative unknown to one of the two most visible stars in the world, along with Storrie, who four days earlier had guest-hosted Saturday Night Live, complete with a Williams cameo. Life had changed dramatically. A year earlier, Williams was working on some short films, juggling acting classes and his server job at a suburban Old Spaghetti Factory, trying to save up some money for a vacation, he told me.
And now? He’s one of the most recognizable stars in the world.
‘I’m doing relatively good. I’m learning all throughout this,’ Williams said during an interview that day on set. We were sitting in an improvised green room on the mansion’s top floor, Williams dressed in his character’s crisp white shirt. ‘In the beginning, it was really hard during the blow-up. The good moments are absolute highs, but the lows are weird lows that I hadn’t experienced before because it’s foreign territory. The lows don’t feel like regular emotions. The whole Earth feels different.’
‘There is nothing that really prepares you for the weird intricacies of celebrity,’ he continued. ‘It feels completely foreign.’ He talked about meeting thousands of people, shaking endless hands, fans throwing themselves at him. ‘It’s sweet, but it changes how you just walk down the street.’ The other day, he told me, he went out for what should have been a five-minute walk and was stopped about twelve times. So many new people but so few chances for true, organic connection. ‘But now I feel like I know the muscle that can engage with all these different things is growing and getting better,’ he said.

Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney got some things right, and some things wrong, in his lambasting of the NHL and its ‘toxic culture.’
