You’re constantly thinking about what you’re going to create next and what you have to say for yourself. It’s tiring. Sometimes my biggest dream is not to be an artist any more.

He moves from side to side, bounces slightly, shifts his weight as though the chair beneath him is alive. I chalk it up to restless energy – this is, after all, a man who built a global fitness empire from his garage – until, as we wrap up, he suddenly stands, grips the seat beneath him and hoists it into view.

The word resonates with everybody in one way or another: the sports injury that just wouldn’t heal, the arduous recovery after giving birth, the tedious post-broken toe exercises you dutifully ignored.

As Forbes put it, “Vine walked so TikTok could run.” The platform let users upload ultra-short, six-second videos that then played on a loop, and forced a new kind of creativity that even the app’s owners hadn’t seen coming.

From 2022’s so-called Wagatha Christie trial to her current stint in the Australian jungle for reality show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here, she’s rarely out of the headlines. A more recent headline from her stint on the show involves none other than US president-elect Donald Trump.

Her first major role saw her play a 16-year-old vampire who falls for a vampire hunter, and the streaming platform caused an uproar when it cancelled the show after just one season.

One of The Original Kings of Comedy, his sitcom The Neighborhood returned for a seventh season last month.

Why? Because she just celebrated her 16th birthday earlier this month with her dad at Beverly Hills’ famous Mr Chow restaurant. The eatery has been serving Beijing-style cuisine for 50 years now, and a bowl of hand pulled noodles goes for more than US$30 on the delivery app Postmates.

Not only have some taken issue with the show’s depiction of a homoerotic, incestuous relationship between the two, but the Menendez family have called the Netflix series a “grotesque shockadrama” and a “character assassination”.
