  4. I mean yeah, but also:

    He continued, “It’s so strange. People talk about obesity — and obviously I understand the difficulty of that — or they talk about any sorts of things, and I feel like acne is regarded as this thing of like, ‘Oh, it’s just like, what you go through as a teenager.’ And it can be kind of just like you get a pimple on your forehead, [but] it can also be tremendously debilitating and really, seriously, emotionally incapacitating, which it was for me.”

    Pine concluded, “So, for anyone out there that is experiencing that: I get you, I hear you, I’ve been there, I know it. I know how depressing it can be and the kind of depths of sorrow it can drag you to, but there is a brighter day.”

  7. This makes Harry Styles an even bigger pos for spitting on him.

    When my unkempt skater friend asked for a Pic he gets all serious “not now”
    Some high school girls ask him, seconds later it’s all smiles and good to go

  9. Cowards not to cast a hot boy with acne for “the bad boy.”
