But of course, yeah, in terms of dealing with - you say one wrong thing, or even if it's not wrong to you - I mean, I was just in Israel, and all I did is post "Jerusalem is beautiful" and some other posts. I just accept that everybody wants to be a good person, so I stay pretty neutral with a lot of things. So at this point in my life my career I do my best to stay away from anything that's too divisive, politically, or in terms of religion. Again, I'm gonna be myself but I'm going to be conscientious of the fact that whatever I say can be influential. What comes with that I hope is some sort of responsibility, not everybody feels the same way as I do. How do you personally handle the negativity that comes with social media and being an influential person? In the movie, your character struggles with dealing with trolls online and balancing his online persona. I like to be as real and authentic myself as possible. He is constantly in character and he's constantly on and I like to try not to be that way. So it's a strange thing to do completely related to Scott in that regard, but again, I think one big difference is he never stops putting on a show. I try and be as authentic as possible, but sometimes that is difficult because you're talking to no one and the same time, millions of people. As I have done it more and more and gotten older I really try not to put on a show. At least it used to be a lot more from me. It's us but it's almost a heightened sense. I understand to some degree that, you know, most people, myself included when we do even press, but especially like getting on social media. I understand what it's like to engage with fans on social media. This is why it was so easy for me to get into character Scott - been there, it's awful.Īs someone who's kind of in the social media sphere with your music and acting career, did your experience in that field help you develop your character?
If you need to talk just say what it's about. It could be about the simplest thing but I feel like it's such a manipulative way to mess with somebody else. It's just like anxiety and fear-inducing, even if they've done nothing wrong, mind you because I had done pretty much nothing wrong. So I have and I say this with experience, just don't say that to your partner guys. Have any of your past partners ever told you that you need to talk? If so, what kind of goes through your head, and how do you personally proceed? Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
These days I still game, I play "Splitgate" like we have in the video game actually, I still play "Halo: Infinite" and you know "Call of Duty" is a great one to catch up with friends. We didn't have streaming back then - wow I'm aging myself - but I would sit there and play "Zombies" incessantly.
You can only sleep for eight of those, you can read a book for an hour or two. When I was touring last time, about eight years ago, I would sit in the back of the bus and sometimes we'd have like a 16-hour drive. When I really got into it was when my brother started gaming, and that was a little later when we had Xbox and PlayStation and started doing "Halo," that was a big one I played all the time. I remember back on like N64 even playing "Mario Kart," playing "Mortal Kombat" one of the first ones.
I mean, I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first question for you: Are you a big video game fan? What kind of games have you grown up playing, and what do you currently enjoy playing now? One day when his long-term girlfriend of 10 years says the two "need to talk" as she walks out the door, Scott is sent spiraling as he seeks emotional support, advice and wisdom from his friends online. "We Need To Talk" is about a self-absorbed online gaming influencer named Scott (Maslow) who despite communicating with his fans via his persona daily, struggles to talk and maintain the relationships in his personal life. While promoting his new romantic comedy film "We Need To Talk" with TooFab, Maslow dishes on not only how he's maintained his relationship with the boys over the years, but also how he navigates his own romantic relationships as well as his fans on social media.
