People like expressing their love for their favourite celebrities, some more than others. In fact, in some situations, people have pushed their love for them too far, to unimaginable lengths.
In the latest, two 13 and 14-year-old girls ran away from their home to meet BTS.
What? Two teenage girls were reported missing last week from Karachi, Pakistan. They were found in Lahore this week. Reason? They ran away from home and had plans to flee to South Korea to meet BTS (Talk about the level of sneaking out).
But if you think this is crazy, wait till you hear some more incidents where fans have taken extreme steps to show their 'love' for their favourite stars:
Break a leg: People who want to look like their favourite celebrity, often buy outfits or makeup like them. But Singer Jessi J's fan it took a next level to become like her. So, Jessie J broke her foot while rehearsing for a performance, she said she received messages from a teenage fan who decided to do the same.
Tattoos…but add a little bit of spice: Getting your favourite artist's tattoo named on you is crazy, but let's be honest, it is very common. But here are some instances when fans have taken it a *little* too far:
About ten years ago, a woman from Los Angeles took Drake's song's lyrics of Free Spirit, instructing a lover or listeners to, 'tat my name on you so I know it's real'.
Jokes apart she actually did it for a logical reason i.e, by listening to her psychic, who told her getting Drake's name on her forehead would make him fall in love with her.
However, the pain is nothing as compared to a fan, Carl McCoid, 42, father of three, who got 29 tattoos and spent almost 3000 Euros to get Miley Cyrus tatoos all over his body, which later he had to get removed since Miley asked him to do so as she found it "creepy" (Talk about love being painful).
Baby dropped at Doorstep: 'The tale of an angel dumping a baby' on your doorstep came true for star Dolly Parton in 2011 when she discovered a newborn baby named Jolene on her porch. However, it was not an angel that left the baby there, but rather a fan who left a letter. The message stated that she was handed up by her "momma" to be cared for by Parton.
What did Parton do next? She handed over the baby to the official health department.
Taking protest a little too far: Narappa, a Telugu movie, starring Victory Venkatesh and Priya Mani was released in 2019. The film was supposed to be released on May 14, 2021, however, it was pushed back owing to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India. The film will be released on Amazon Prime Video in late June 2021, according to reports.
Venkatesh's followers were not amused and expressed their discontent with the immediate OTT release, pleading with producer Suresh Babu to wait till cinemas reopened. But a girl from Renigunta, Andra Pradesh, went too far in her protest over the OTT release of 'Narappa,' by attempting suicide. Videos of her attempting to slit her wrist have gone viral. (By the way, She is safe now).
Marrying a cardboard: We all have had posters and pictures of our favourite stars in our room, but actro Robert Pattinson's fan Lauren Adkins took her love to the
next level when she married a cardboard cutout of Robert Pattinson.
