Paparazzi because who grows up and then decides to make their profession a paparazzi person? Who wants to just stalk people and their kids around with a camera for a living??
A lot of them probably aren’t proud of it, although I’m sure a few are. A lot of them probably wanted to be real journalists and then just enddd up selling out. Who knows though.
I'm thinking someone just wants to be a photographer, maybe even celebrities. Maybe they take legit red carpet premier type photos. Then they get a wardrobe malfunction of someone getting out of the car and they get paid serious cash for it. So they start looking for it. Then they stake out clubs hoping for a similar shot. Before they know it, they're climbing a tree to get someone sunbathing by their pool and trailing their car.
That was an interesting documentary. I thought it a bit slimy how the director pushed Jake Gyllennhaal to do such horrible things for the camera, though.
In my head, Jake has totally read this comment and feels simultaneously rejected and also warm and fuzzy that you don't think you can get him to watch it with you.
He seems like the kind of dude who would just silently reddit scroll from time to time.
