genuinely i cannot reconcile cnn anderson cooper with the anderson cooper that appears on late night theyre completely different people to me ( feel free to ignore this ask if u want )
Omg I got an Anderson cooper ask !!!! 😭
I’m so excited, I need more ac mutuals! Feel free to blow up my inbox (or don’t! no pressure!!). *Beware if you message me, tho, I’m rly rly bad at maintaining a conversation :/
Very true though! Tbh I feel like he comes in like.. 4-5 versions of himself 😂. There’s the professional suit and tie cnn version, then there’s the nearly extinct black tshirt warzone guy version, then there’s like the nerdy trying-too-hard-to-be-funny-without-doing-anything-I’ll-regret late night/morning show/nye version, and then there was the (superior) vintage version from his abc, The Mole, and early cnn days before he was so concerned about maintaining public appearances……. it’s just so interesting how he presents himself vastly differently based on the audience he’s speaking to.
Like most celebs try so hard to push that “I’m so real! I’m the same off camera as I am on! I’m just me!” thing- and I’m pretty sure I’ve heard him say that a few times- but it’s refreshing how it’s just so blatantly not true with him. He code-switches hard like all the time lol.
Makes it easier to acknowledge the things I don’t like about his personality too, cause I’m pretty sure at least half of them aren’t genuine 🤷♀️.
But yeah, he’s very good at playing different roles to craft a specific public persona multifaceted :)
