The prodigious turns prodigal
THE should-have-been superstar is having a rather rough time"both in his personal and professional life. Several of his films have not tasted the success that was divined for them, while others have been delayed. In fact, he's suddenly found himself with six months of nothing to do. The luckless actor seems really down and out, and disinterested in his work. Rumour has it he has turned to mood-enhancers to allay his apathy. Harmless non-addictives are quite the norm du jour, but we hear he's even hooked on the more harmful stuff. His provider is a famous restaurateur, well known for his sandwich eateries. The actor " ill-fated even though staggeringly talented " apparently phones his friend in the wee hours for his fix. In the days, he's dazed. None of his meetings with directors have been productive, and he's alienated almost everyone"other than his one director buddy. We do hope better sense and a professional attitude prevails. If there's one thing the film industry teaches you: some days you're the pigeon, other days the statue.
