A prevailing cliché among actors is that finding true friends in the entertainment industry is impossible.
Actors have a notion that they do not know when friends are real or just acting in the relationship to forward an agenda. Hence, friendship with fellow actors can be tricky.
By contrast, the friendship forged by Influential Personality (IP) and Captivating Entertainer (CE) is one of the most admired in the entertainment industry. Although IP and CE entered the business under different circumstances, their interest in entertainment, among others, deepened their relationship.
As years passed, the two moved in diverse directions. Despite connections with competing entities, the two maintained their bond.
For example, IP and CE often went on break out of town. Sometimes, IP would borrow a place from CE for his personal events. When IP found himself in unexpected circumstances, CE offered help.
CE broached a possible project for IP to his bosses. They set a condition given that they wanted noise for IP to drum up public interest. Subsequently, other personalities made that condition concrete.
Meanwhile, IP decided to take a vacation for healing and controversy to die down. Later on, IP met with the bosses and the rest is history, thanks to CE.

Smitten with her
Lovestruck Talent (LT) is under pressure to meet the standards of Female Celebrity (FC). LT and FC worked in the same network, where their friendship blossomed. After hitting it off, LT and FC started hanging around together.
With so many new faces willing to do daring roles, parts for the likes of LT are highly competitive. LT has the looks and talent, but such traits are not enough. LT seems to be missing out on the appeal factor. Hence, his team is finding it hard to find projects for him.
Such a situation did not stop LT from trying to impress FC even if his moves were turning into expensive ventures. During dates, which were not in cheap venues to get away from the public, LT insisted on paying for the whole bill. Even trips abroad did not stop LT from being generous. In addition, LT showered FC with expensive gifts. LT relied on his social media collaborations to keep his pocket full.
When they went on vacation, FC insisted on spending half the cost, as she was concerned with LT’s finances, too. Allegedly, LT had to sell an important possession to raise his share. The behavior of LT did not escape His Mentor (HM)’s eye. HM advised LT to take it easy on spending just to be within the company of FC. FC already had what she needed in life and materialism was the least of her worries.
Meanwhile, HM felt that FC only wanted companionship with LT as she had yet to acknowledge him in public and in her plans. Apparently, LT ended up the winner as time sided in his favor.
