“Dear Remy”: Hollywood Career Coach Gives Advice to “Weird Crush” Actor and Reboot-Phobic Exec
What’s So Weird About Having a Crush On Me? Dear Remy, When I look in the mirror, I see a reasonably good-looking guy. On a good day, I’d give myself a 7/10. Maybe a 7.5 if I pluck in between my eyebrows. Why, then, am I constantly finding myself on those “Weird Crushes” lists? My […]
