“Shameless” chronicles the ongoing shenanigans of a moral-free paparazzo named Thud. What you are about to read MIGHT be true, but probably isn’t!
My friends often ask me if I ever get a cold chill down my spine from being in a profession that pretty much risks the lives of some of the planet’s most beloved individuals. The answer is a resounding “NO!”
All of my life I have admired the bad guy. Scarface, Tommy from “Goodfellas,” Dr. Evil. They are all characters that I felt as though I truly related to. So, when people ask me that question, I usually answer with a quote from “Star Wars.” I do as the emperor tells me…and I “embrace the hate!” Oddly enough, that is also the pick up line I use when trying to a attain a girls phone number!
The truth is- I enjoy the terrible dirtiness my profession serves up on a steamin’ plate of money every single week! I’ve been doing it for so long now, celebrities don’t even strike me as people anymore! All I see when I look at them is a dollar amount. Nothin’ strips away a person’s humanity quicker than a bunch of zeros on a check! It gives me a warm, fuzzy feelin every time! Being a paparazzo is the very definition of what I am…Shameless!
