The unspoken rules of celebrity friendship


READ MORE

Cameron Diaz was retired from acting. Days passed. Think-pieces were written, speculation mounted that Diaz  – who has not made a movie in four years – was in permanent hibernation with husband Benji Madden. Then, a tweet. Not from Diaz, but Blair, claiming she was “joking” and that Diaz was not in retirement.


That clanking sound you heard is Diaz blocking Blair from all her electronic devices and social media. See, it wouldn’t be a big thing if Diaz denied it, but the fact that Blair had to back-track means she was more than likely reprimanded. Why? Well we found out this week it was because Diaz wanted to tell the world herself.


We can sympathise we both Blair and Haddish; it must be difficult, as a celebrity, chatting to one journo after another, to keep all your thoughts in your head. It takes time, and, a few faux pas, to learn what is and isn’t meant for public consumption.


One celebrity who knows this better than most is Matt Damon. The actor, who despite his own missteps, is still understood to be the more functional in his public friendship with Ben Affleck, is frequently asked to explain his best friend’s (self-destructive, often baffling) decisions.
