Severance's John Turturro on fans getting ‘intimate' tattoos of him: ‘I don't want to look at that'
Severance star John Turturro has a blunt response to super fans getting tattoos of him on their bodies.
Speaking to People at a Severance event on April 11, Turturro shared how social media has altered the relationship between actors and fans. He said it's been an adjustment, especially as he's gone viral for a singular line on the latest season of the hit Apple TV show, in which he plays Lumon Industries employee Irving Bailiff.
"Years ago, people didn't have social media, so they would say those lines to you on the street or they'd get tattoos of you," Turturro, 68, told the outlet.
"A lot of people have tattoos of me on intimate parts of their body and they sometimes want to show them to me and I'm like, 'I don't want to look at that', you know what I mean?" he continued.
Turturro also largely stays off of social platforms, he revealed.
"I'm not really on social media because I don't really want to read about myself and then I don't want to be self-conscious. I like being free and oblivious," he explained.
But that doesn't mean Turturro isn't grateful for how audiences respond to his roles.
"You're always appreciative when the audience responds, because you do it for people," he said of performing. "I do it for myself, but you hope that it will reach someone."
The second season of Severance recently came to a close with a finale that left viewers with more questions than answers.
Fans have been especially concerned that Turturro might not be returning for season three due to the season's penultimate episode and how his character's arc concluded. But Turturro has reassured viewers that he doesn't think this is the end of the road for Irving.
'If someone wanted the story to be complete? It could be! But I think there's so much more here,' Turturro told The Hollywood Reporter.
Severance has been renewed for season 3, but it's not yet clear when it will premiere. In the meantime, fans can catch up on the first two seasons on Apple TV.

Many were shocked to find out the Parks and Recreation actor is not only in his 50s - but married and a father to two teenage children. The 52-year-old surprised TikTok users when he made an appearance in his 16-year-old daughter Francesca's video - with fans swearing he's not old enough to even have kids.

The video began with the teen lip-syncing: 'I have a busy week.' The camera then panned to Scott, who looked unimpressed as he lip-synced Scott Discik's part, asking: 'Do you?' 'Thursday, Nobu.

Richard Simmons' palatial mansion hits the market for eye-watering sum nearly a year after his death at age 76
The palatial Hollywood Hills mansion owned by the late Richard Simmons is now on the market for nearly $7,000,000. The gated, colonial-style home located above the Sunset Strip has been listed for $6,999,999. Simmons died at the home last year, just one day after celebrating his 76th birthday. The reclusive fitness guru resided at the home with his devoted friend and house manager, Teresa Reveles, and abruptly stopped making public appearances in 2014, sparking concern from fans. According to the home's listing, which is being held by John A. Lucy of Keller Williams Hollywood Hills, the property was built in 1937 and boasts an array of amenities, including a maid's suite, pool, pool house, updated kitchen, music room, and terraced side yard. Simmons was found in his home by his longtime housekeeper on July 13, 2024 - just one day after celebrating his 76th birthday. A cause of death was revealed back in August, with the Los Angeles Coroner's office informing Simmons' brother Lenny that the death had been 'accidental due to complications from recent falls and heart disease as a contributing factor.' 'The toxicology report was negative other than medication Richard had been prescribed,' family spokesperson Tom Estey told People. 'The Family wishes to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support during this time of great loss.' Lenny had previously told People that he didn't want 'people to be sad about my brother,' but rather to 'remember him for the genuine joy and love he brought to people's lives.' 'He truly cared about people. He called, wrote and emailed thousands of people throughout his career to offer help,' Lenny said. Simmons had fallen in the bathroom of his home on Friday, July 12 - which marked his 76th birthday - and Reveles had attempted to persuade him to seek immediate medical help, but he declined because it was his birthday, TMZ previously reported. Simmons said he didn't want to go anywhere, informing her that he might go on July 13. Reveles helped him safely get back to his bedroom, where she found him unresponsive the following morning on the floor at around 10 a.m., according to the outlet. He was later pronounced dead on the scene. 'When I saw him, he looked peaceful,' she told People last July of finding Simmons. She noted his hands were balled into fists, prompting her to believe he died of a heart attack. 'That's why I know it was a heart attack. I had a heart attack a few years ago, and my hands did the same.' Simmons was a legendary fitness guru who grew up in the French quarter of New Orleans before settling in California. He weighed 268 pounds when he graduated from high school, his website said. His own story of struggling with weight loss, where he tried everything from fad diets to laxatives before settling on exercise and better lifestyle choices, inspired millions to do the same. Simmons became a master of many media forms, sharing his hard-won weight-loss tips as host of the Emmy-winning daytime 'Richard Simmons Show' and author of best-selling books and the diet plan Deal-A-Meal. He also opened exercise studios and starred in exercise videos, including the wildly successful 'Sweatin' to the Oldies' line, which became a cultural phenomenon. Simmons' daytime show was seen on 200 stations in America, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan and South America. His first book, 'Never Say Diet', was a smash best-seller. He was known to counsel the severely obese, including Rosalie Bradford, who held records for being the world's heaviest woman, and Michael Hebranko, who credited Simmons for helping him lose 700 pounds. After winning a legion of fans with his infectious enthusiasm and positivity, Simmons stepped away from the limelight in 2014. TMZ founder Harvey Levin later said the fitness icon doesn't spend all his time at his home. 'We found out he likes going to the beach, he'll go shopping, he'll just go out and get air,' he told Good Day in 2022. In 2022, Simmons' spokesperson Tom Estey provided a statement to the New York Post saying that he was 'happy, healthy and living the life he has chosen to live.'
