Barry Keoghan named among celebrities most likely to have mid-life crisis
Actor Barry Keoghan has been ranked the fourth most likely celebrity to have a mid-life crisis, according to a new survey. According to a new analysis, some of the world's most famous faces may be more likely than others to go through one, thanks to personality traits that may make some people more susceptible than others. A new study by social media growth service Views4You has analysed data on crowd-voted MBTI personalities across more than 4,000 celebrities. Beatriz Sirena of Views4You said: "What's particularly interesting about this study is how it reveals that traits that make someone successful in entertainment or sports, like risk-taking, attention-seeking, and high emotional reactivity, are often the same traits that can lead to crisis periods when they face the realities of aging. "The results also show how certain personality traits might predispose celebrities to mid-life crises. The high prevalence of impulsivity, attention-seeking, and dramatic tendencies among the top-ranked celebrities suggests these traits may be key indicators of crisis vulnerability. "What's striking is that we see these patterns across different professions and personality types. Whether in film, music, or sports, certain personality combinations appear to create higher risk regardless of career path." It compared each celebrity's personality traits against 23 characteristics commonly associated with mid-life crises, such as impulsiveness, narcissism, and materialistic tendencies, using data from crowd-voted personality assessments. Scores for individual traits closer to one represent a stronger perceived connection. Lars Ulrich takes the top spot with an index score of 64.11. The research examined each celebrity's MBTI personality type distribution, with Ulrich's ESFP type being particularly prone to impulsive decisions - he scored exceptionally high in materialistic tendencies (0.97) and promiscuity (0.97), along with significant ratings for attention-seeking behaviour (0.93), recklessness (0.91), and alcoholic tendencies (0.91). Quentin Tarantino comes next, with a score of 63.97. His ENTP personality type closely aligns with profiles typically associated with mid-life crisis indicators. The renowned film director shows strong personality patterns linked to impulsivity (0.96), narcissism (0.83), dramatic tendencies (0.84), and attention-seeking behaviour (0.82). Zach Galifianakis places third, scoring 63.21. The actor's personality assessment showed high ratings in impulsivity (0.95) and narcissism (0.85). Interestingly, he scored a perfect 1.0 in inverted stability, a marker of emotional volatility, alongside high indecisiveness (0.82). Barry Keoghan lands the fourth spot, with a 62.93 score. The Irish actor's ESFP personality type mirrors patterns often seen in individuals prone to mid-life crises, displaying strong tendencies toward impulsivity (0.91), attention-seeking (0.91), materialism (0.87), and alcoholic behaviour (0.88). In fifth place is Robbie Williams, with a score of 62.89. The British pop star exhibits strong impulsive tendencies (0.94) alongside alcoholic tendencies (0.89) and attention-seeking (0.86) traits. Williams' unstable personality indicators (0.83) and narcissistic tendencies (0.83) create a profile of someone potentially vulnerable to mid-life identity struggles. Lily Allen is next, scoring 62.81. Her ENFP personality type matches patterns associated with emotional volatility. The British singer-songwriter scored particularly high in impulsivity (0.95), dramatic behaviour (0.92), immaturity (0.91), and alcoholic tendencies (0.83). Rapper Daniel Hernandez, known professionally as 6ix9ine, lands the seventh spot, with a score of 62.80. His personality profile featured high attention-seeking (0.91), materialism (0.92), and promiscuity (0.89), traits that frequently correlate with crisis behaviours. Jamie Campbell-Bower places eighth, scoring 62.27. Unlike others in the top 10, his profile shows different risk factors, including extreme indecisiveness (0.98), low self-worth (0.94), insecurity (0.93), and depression (0.92), which can represent the emotional struggle dimension of mid-life crisis risk. Next is Paris Hilton, with a score of 62. The socialite and entrepreneur shows high scores in materialism (0.91), attention-seeking behaviour (0.9), and promiscuity (0.85). Her ESFP personality type aligns with traits typical of individuals who may struggle with aging and relevance. Tennis champion Novak Djokovic rounds out the top 10, with a score of 61.93. Unlike most others in the top 10, Djokovic showed high scores in identity struggles (0.88), recklessness (0.87), and alcoholic tendencies (0.85). His INFJ personality type was voted by only 32.3 per cent of respondents, suggesting a more complex personality profile than others on the list.

Katy Perry missed the Met Gala, but AI stole the spotlight!"Katy Perry Missed the Met Gala, But AI Stole the Spotlight!"
For the second consecutive year, pop singer Katy Perry has gone viral for attending the Met Gala without ever setting foot on the red carpet. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we interact with images, truth, and celebrity pop star Katy Perry has unintentionally become a symbol of a new digital puzzle. This year's 2025 Met Gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' took social media by storm with a breathtaking image of Perry clad in a sleek, sculpted black gown. Compliments flooded timelines, praising her 'stunning look' and 'flawless fashion moment.' But there was just one catch: the photo was entirely generated by AI. In reality, Katy Perry was performing in Houston on her 'Lifetimes Tour' the same night. The singer posted 'couldn't make it to the MET, I'm on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL‼️) P.s. this year I was actually with my mom so she's safe from the bots but I'm praying for the rest of y'all.' The eerily realistic image spread so widely and convincingly that many fans and even some media outlets believed it was real. Katy Perry AI, Picture X It mirrored a similar incident in 2024, when AI-generated images of Perry in an extravagant floral ensemble at the Met Gala circulated online, prompting confusion, admiration, and even a heartfelt message from her mother, who also thought she had attended. ALSO READ: South Africans make their presence felt at the Met Gala in New York These incidents mark a turning point in the way we perceive celebrity presence. AI can now convincingly place public figures in places they never were, creating a surreal new layer of digital illusion. The technology not only deceives fans, but also plays a growing role in shaping public perception and media narratives. This digital manipulation challenges long-standing assumptions about celebrity appearances. In the past, showing up at an event was an act of presence and influence Now, a celebrity can trend globally without ever leaving their hotel room,or even being aware they're part of the conversation. This raises important questions about authenticity, consent, and the control celebrities have over their image. Katy Perry AI image, Picture X The entertainment industry now faces an urgent need to navigate this murky new terrain. As AI becomes more accessible and its results more photorealistic, clear ethical and legal frameworks are needed to regulate how and when public figures are digitally replicated. ALSO READ: Designer Gert-Johan Coetzee captivates at SA Fashion Week 2025 Who owns the rights to an AI-generated image of a celebrity? Should platforms be required to label such content? These are pressing questions that demand answers as we move deeper into the AI age. Platforms like Instagram and Facebook are already incorporating AI tools more deeply into their ecosystems, as highlighted in a recent piece by Views4You on Meta's expanding AI capabilities in Europe. The line between the real and the synthetic is vanishing fast, and the tools that make this illusion possible are no longer in the hands of tech experts alone; they're available to everyday users. The 'Dark Horse' singer's virtual Met Gala appearances, though unintentional, serve as a wake-up call. How far can people take AI? They underline the complexity of digital identity in an age when anyone can be anywhere, doing anything, with the help of a few clicks and an AI model. As technology races ahead, society must wrestle with what it truly means to 'show up' in the digital world, and how we define authenticity when our screens can so easily deceive us.

Year 2025: Nano Influencers rule the market
Are nano influencers gonna rule the market? It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie at first, but here in 2025, they're creating the future of the 'influencer market'. And no, they don't have tons of followers, my friends. They're just simple human beings like you, with specific interests, nice opinions, and loyal audiences under 10K. (Tiny mighty!) But what is the specialty? It's, of course, not the flashy production or some viral content, but the connection itself. They build real communities by showing strong ties and honest attitudes, and that trust is becoming an actual influence in time, in a way. Of course, being a nano influencer isn't easy; in fact, there is some real business goin' on there. Everyone is posting and everyone wants visibility too. But being real requires more than curated feed and well-lit selfies. One must explore strategies, tools, and new ways, like nano influencers, turning small followings into significant impacts. Community Growing Together In 2025, people will no longer be chasing perfection from influencers. They're seeking authenticity! They choose content that feels 'human', relatable, and trustworthy. That's exactly what nano influencers offer, and they are right too. Their audiences often name them not as 'influencers,' but as real human beings; individuals they relate to. When some 'nano' says, 'I tried this and loved it,' it doesn't sound like a scripted ad or something like that. It really sounds like a friend sharing a 'saving life trick.' That kind of trust is difficult to fake and almost impossible to make up artificially. Brands are adapting too. For example, instead of investing their entire marketing budget in a single name, they're choosing to work with groups of nano influencers. It's more affordable and more effective... And for many, more enjoyable. If you've ever looked at numbers of yours (I mean followers) and wondered whether you're too small to make a difference? No, you're not my friend. In today's market, small means real. And 'real' is what works well. Growing Visibility as a Nano Influencer Let's be honest, like nano's; even your most thoughtful, carefully written post can get lost in the scroll! You hit share and… nothing. No likes, no comments, maybe a reaction from a close friend. In a place where everyone is creating all the time, visibility takes more than good content. (Unfortunately, there is the truth.) So, it takes strategy. Sometimes, it also takes a push. That's why many nano influencers use services like Views4You, whether to buy Instagram followers or boost post engagements, to build early social proof. These fancy tools boost the possibility to make them create a way to get their content in front of more people, so their message has a bigger chance to find a way to express itself. This is a big deal if you ask me. Please remember that they can bring people to your profile, but it's your consistency, voice, and content that will make them stay. Authenticity as the Foundation of Influence For years, 'being authentic' has been a common piece of advice. But now, audiences in 2025 are more discerning than ever. They know when a post is filtered too far, when a caption feels forced, and when a product recommendation lacks sincerity. This is where nano influencers excel. With smaller audiences, there's less pressure to perform and more place to be intimate and real. Their power is their honest content, regular interactions, and their voices that rise loudly. They bring their natural humor, their flaws, their niche interest... And people love them. Niches Are the New Mainstream In practice, trying to appeal to everyone often results in appealing to no one. Nowadays, creators who stand out are those who have defined their niche; whether it's sustainable fashion, work tips, or budget-friendly plant-based meals. And these creators don't chase trends; they serve unique followers and do it well. That specificity helps audiences know what to expect and gives brands a clear reason to collaborate. When you know who you are and who you're speaking to, growth becomes a lot more consistent and maybe rewarding too. Right Platforms to Choose Today's influencers are faced with more platforms than ever: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Threads, and Substack. While it might seem tempting to be everywhere, it isn't always effective. Nano influencers in 2025 focus on what best fits their style and content. Some dig on video-first formats like TikTok; others prefer the storytelling approach of Instagram or the depth of newsletters. What matters is not being present on almost every app but being consistent and intentional on the ones that matter most to your beloved followers and to you. What Brands Are Looking for in 2025 Brands today are no longer chasing vanity metrics. They're looking for influencers that speak to possible audiences with intimacy. What makes an influencer stand out then? A clearly defined niche Consistent, high-qualified content Real engagement from a loyal audience A message that feels comfy — not promotional The ability to tell stories that touch If you wanna work with brands, don't wait to be discovered! Reach out and create a media kit. Pitch with confidence. Often, brands are looking for creators exactly like you, but they don't know it for now, because you're out there somewhere yet. Monetization Without Compromise You don't need a massive following to make money (as a nano influencer maybe.) In fact, nano influencers are already monetizing in creative and value-driven ways: Affiliate links: Earn through honest product recommendations. Brand collaborations: small campaigns can lead to long-term partnerships. Subscriptions: offer VIP content through platforms. Digital products: Share your knowledge via guides, templates, or toolkits. Merchandise: If your brand has a strong identity, your audience may want to wear it. Actually, the key to monetization is alignment — between your content, your audience, and your money streams. When everything matches, the results are trusted. Nano influencers are proving that real impact doesn't require a massive following. But it requires trust and purpose. Whether you're just a beginner or a master of influence, remember this: in a crowded space, the creators who stand out aren't the ones chasing trends. They're the ones who know exactly who they are and why it matters.
