Woody Harrelson on Why He Hasn’t Owned a Cell Phone in Three Years

25 comments

1. Knowing the guy I was half expecting a “the government listening, man” but that’s actually a great reason to stop using a phone altogether; he was spending too much time on it.

   And I loved what he said about using it so much and never as a phone bc that’s so true, I spend so much time on mine but very little texting, even less making calls.

2. I’m sorry, I’m just here to talk about Rampart. 

3. Get a flip phone if the apps & web are distracting.

4. Get a job at a scif. No cell phones allowed for your entire shift.

5. Because he’s rich.

   He has a manager and a staff who basically plan out his every movement. He has people who take care of the bullshit for him. And because no one really expects him to get back to them anyways.

   If any of us tried not carrying around a phone our bosses would lose it, my wife would divorce me, and my kids would probably still be at that sleepover – and they sure as shit would not be signed up for summer camp

   But he’s got people to handle all that for him, and an assistant who you better believe has a number that people can get a hold of.

   I love woody, but this is just more pretentious bullshit from a world of people who are out of touch with the rest of us.

6. But how does he poop?

7. Because he’s rich and has an assistant

8. Probably because he caught a brain worm from RFK and can’t figure out how to work the smart phone.

9. TL;dr – he can’t find it

10. Because he has an assistant? Holy smokes!

11. Because everyone keeps asking him about Rampart

12. Everyone ITT saying it’s because he’s rich, he can do this, I disagree.

    I didn’t have a smart phone for about three months. It’s totally doable if that’s what you want. It just takes a little extra work to find ways of doing things you would rely on your phone for.

13. If I had that kinda money, I too could be coddled and focus on my happiness too.

14. Eat a dick. Must be nice to be rich and important enough to not need one. If I didn’t have one, I wouldn’t have a job either.

15. There is SO much that makes me roll my eyes with celebs but this takes the cake.

    I’d also not have a cell phone if I had an assistant or a manager to handle all that. Jesus… I’m tired of this.

16. Why? Because hes rich and has someone do it for him.

17. Worked with him on a film. This is beyond annoying when he knows shit about tech and wants all the tech features. He needs a team to get him through a job.

18. my bet is that AMA traumatized him.

19. I wonder if he got inspiration from Bill Murray?

20. Get a desktop computer. Everything you write on your tiny little screen sucks and it’s making you more vulgar.

21. Wish I was well off enough to do this.

22. For those to didn’t read the article, it’s because he and Steve Jobs had a love affair and he can’t bring himself to own another iphone after his death.

23. I literally just got an instagram post of him hoping Kennedy would be in the debates.

24. Insufferable douche.

25. Why does this Reddit have so many people ready to cut down famous people because of what they choose to do? Apparently it’s pretentious to do anything just because you’re famous? Jesus Christ some folks need to pull their heads out of their asses
