Long John and Quixotiveness. Review on John Abraham

If you are a celebrity, you already are popular across town – as a star in the field you are in. By chance, if you also happen to be an eligible bachelor, you are the crush of most teen girls. No doubt, with money in your pocket, girls also find you suave and handsome (Notice how qualities add up). Again, if you wear a tux with black boots, the girls definitely drool over you being tall and dark. If you have a set of wheels (a car and a bike) to boot, then the girls find you irresistible too. If you also have physical add ons like a goatee (French beard) or long hair, then you are a hunk and nothing can keep you from raiding girls nests at your will. If you find you match the above description, my hats off – now pass me your autograph on one of your 1000 Re notes.

And then there is also a celebrity called John. John, the Quixote.

He not only matched the above description at some point in his modeling career, but also exceeded it a few times. Yeah, he is here to stay. But in my list of celebrity goofs, this guy ranks # 1.  Ok, ok, this instantly makes me unpopular among the women, but then, I was never even known, so let me attain notoriety.

I recently saw him at the airport in a tattered jeans and acting the celeb, while none actually recognized him. He had about 4 bodyguards enclosing him. (This review would otherwise have not been possible). There is something about this guy which puzzles me forever. Or I am simply jealous of him hogging only the lime (a lemon is right) in the light. There are two examples of his few public appearances which I’ll list here for your consideration.

Take1: Cut to an episode of KBC. Remember Kaun Banega Croropathi? Yeah. Long John and Blips had an appearance with Big B himself. And during the course of the jovial quiz, we come to know that this man loves fast bikes and is a race enthusiast (for both bikes and cars). He even went to the extent of stating a line that if there was some trivia… And then the quiz session continued. Now if you happen to know one thing, sometimes, especially when celebrities make an appearance, questions are usually asked on topics - which the celebrity feels comfortable with. And so a question was thrown pertaining to a biking event which was mentioned earlier by John as being his favorites…

We see him biting nails and spitting it out… (as edited by KBC)  and then he also issues a clarification that he is only interested in some lesser known bike race and so he doesn’t know the answer. (All the while biting nails, mind you) There was even a slight hint of a raised eyebrow on Big B’s face. So what exactly are his hobbies? Biting nails - Fascinating man, a better hobby than biking! On a program watched by millions!

Take 2: chat show. Wowiee! A lot of the girls must have literally short circuited the TV with the drooling. During the discussion it came out that the host shared the same birthday. Our Quixote, rather weirdo initially looked dazed and then suddenly jumped the gun with the statement I am a Sagi. Are you also a Sagii? Very excitedly! The host didn’t know which way to turn but with an amazing attempt at maintaining a straight face announced a ‘will be back right after the break!’

His spontaneity had me laughing on the chat show. I mean the host was too embarrassed to even keep a straight face! Either John is not exactly publicity conscious or he is rather an unadulterated kid. Grapevine has it that certain ad agencies didn’t want him without Bips for exactly the same reason. Even in an ad, they insist that Blips do it with him and are willing to shell the extra amount for the Blipshell. Seriously isn’t it time he improved his public image? I guess its true, he may not have acting talent but he is *spontaneous and rates notches *above as a human being. I am off now before Lallupanju sees this…
