I remember that one too!!!
It's just that I never ever experienced the typical teen celebrity crush when I was young, so it's a bit disconcerting to have the beginnings of one at the ripe age of 38
Yet at the same time I have this incredibly powerful sense of being proud of him, as if I were his sister or aunt or mother!! I've seen lots of other people commenting along those lines in social media - there's just something about him that makes you want to give him a hi-five, hug him tight and tell him how proud you are of him whilst grinning inanely and wiping away tears of joy :yay:
And the cat analogy is so totally appropriate! I'm a huuuge cat person too :yes:
Thirtysomethings for Jason Brown! (I'm almost 32.)
I think people feel endeared to him because he is so genuine and nice. During one of the practices at U.S. Nationals he took the time to greet everybody. About 30 minutes into the next practice group he was still out there signing autographs, taking photos and chatting.
I'll always appreciate the his gesture of introducing me to Kori after I told him that I was a big fan of hers.
I found it very striking - the difference between Interview-Jason and Getting-the-job-done-Jason - when I saw the video of him practicing his FS in Sochi. At times, the concentration and calmness on his face made him look like a completely different person, like someone who doesn't suffer fools at all. He comes across as so lovable and sweet I sometimes worry if people might take advantage of that, but I have a feeling he is not made of cotton candy on the inside either and he can perfectly well stand up for himself when required. Ooh assertive Jason
I think it helps he has a great support base in Kori and his family. And both Kori and his mother built their careers from the ground up, Kori in coaching and his mother in being a young producer for the Arsenio Hall show. I'm sure both passed on some values as far as being tough and assertive as well as genuine.
So glad there are other feline fans here - afterwards I started to wonder if what I wrote would make any sense to anyone else!
