Despite his ugly face with the People photographer, he is a mild narcissist who loves to be in the spotlight and be applauded, to be recognized as a multidisciplinary artist, a musician, a writer, a presenter… and of course, in addition to admiration, to make a lot of money. So much so that lately he takes everything that's offered - several actors have rejected podcasts because of the service and the low return - he hasn't held back. He also goes to schools, autograph sessions… he's a bit desperate to appear.
But he has to solve this girlfriend problem and a gold standard normalization photo would be with Téa Leoni- and next on the list would be Gillian Anderson. Pamela Adlon, Sarah Jessica Parker would carry less weight, but it would be worth it. Pamela Adlon has so far managed to escape, let's see how long, she owes him a few favors.
Her daughter's support doesn't carry as much weight - she loves him, she's young, she doesn't know anything about life, she's easy to persuade and she wants to please him. But even his daughter wasn't as comfortable at the US Open.
That's why I agree with those who wrote here on the blog that it's extremely dangerous for Anderson to be around at such times - once it's done, there's no way to go public and say it was a trap. So it was in London, in the play. Unless, of course, GA supports this relationship.
I don’t think the women surrounding him should ever be punished for his crappy decisions and I hope that never happens. Gillian hugged and kissed her on the cheek goodbye before giving David a small pat on the shoulder goodbye at the stage door after her play. It didn’t help the public perception of the relationship. People laughed and it showed that MP continued to humiliate him because she didn’t know enough to get out of the way to let D and G have a proper final goodbye. I don’t think Téa wants that type of attention in her life.
