(NIK, 25+, EST, THEY/THEM) WE JUST SPOTTED (BENJAMIN WILSON) IN PROVIDENCE! DO YOU THINK THEY LOOK LIKE (ROBERT SHEEHAN)? NAH, (THEY’RE) A (30) YEAR OLD, (A-LIST MOVIE STAR, AND CAN BE DESCRIBED AS (CHARISMATIC, ADVENTUROUS, AND CREATIVE) BUT CAN ALSO BE (SUSPICIOUS, IMPATIENT, AND IMPULSIVE). WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THE CITY? KEEP AN EYE ON THEM TO FIND OUT.
Quick notes:
Ben was born in Ireland and raised between Providence and Dublin
Ben was sporadically in school as their mother would often pull them out to audition, model, or act in anything she could get him into (both in America and abroad), but they loved being in school
Gender was a concept that they never understood or embraced, much to their mother’s and management company’s disapproval & disappointment
Despite that, Ben was always a sociable kid and had no issues befriending anyone who’d have them, but learned quick to keep them at a distance as their chaotic lifestyle made it difficult to remain in touch
Andy was the only exception to this and ultimately became a much-needed anchor for Ben
Many of their “firsts” happened on-screen and Ben’s not sure what to make of that now
As soon as they were eighteen, they employed every legal tool at their disposal to prevent their mother from benefiting at all from their career or using their fame for her gain, up to and including restraining her from having any access to their life (as much as they could control)
Ben hasn’t spoken to her in eleven years
Unfortunately, their management company wasn’t as easy to be rid of and they were kept in the closet far longer than they’d initially agreed to while also consistently guided towards and enabled with more and more harmful ways of coping and thinking
At 19 they were cast as the lead of a show nobody really believed in that ended up gaining global fame which then launched them into the “big leagues”
From there, they’d been working themselves as much as they could, in multiple genres and formats (movies, TV, stage), but the last few years had seen their fame (and credibility) skyrocket on the back of their double-wins at the Golden Globes and Oscars. They’re on track for a three-peat this year, but a full-on breakdown and intervention had them sent back to Providence to try to recover their sense of self and find some much-needed peace
Providence was the last place they remembered being truly happy and they’re attempting to find that joy and simplicity again
