For most people, social media can be a trap designed to rip apart their self-esteem. After all, a lot of people who post supposed thirst traps on social media were met with mockery instead of admirers. On the other hand, when some celebrities post thirst trap photos on social media, they have loads of strangers lavishing praise on their looks.

Unlike all of the celebrities who seem to go out of their way to get the general public lusting after them, Jeremy Allen White has never seemed overly concerned with getting that kind of attention. With that in mind, it makes sense that White has never seemed to take much of an interest in fans who fawn over his looks. However, when White was promoting a movie in 2020, he took part in a video where he reacted to fans’ thirst tweets about him and the actor’s response was fascinating and very telling.

Jeremy Allen White’s Love Life With Emma Greenwell And Addison Timlin

Throughout Hollywood history, the vast majority of actors who’ve risen to fame at a young age have gone on to be linked to several different stars. While there is nothing wrong with that, since it is hard to know what you want in a partner without dating the wrong person, some stars have never gotten involved in celebrity dating circles. For example, in the years since he became famous, Jeremy Allen White has only been involved in long-term relationships.

As longtime Shameless fans will no doubt remember, Jeremy Allen White’s character Lip Gallagher got involved with Mandy Milkovich early in the show’s run. Unfortunately for Mandy, she always was more smitten with Lip than the other way around. In real life, however, White and the actor who brought Mandy to life, Emma Greenwell, were dedicated to one another for years before going their separate ways.

Jeremy Allen White Reacts To Thirst Tweets

In decades past, stars who made the rounds to promote their upcoming projects would solely take part in a series of interviews on talk shows and with reporters. Thanks to YouTube, however, stars now routinely appear in a series of unique videos during the promotion process. For example, loads of celebrities have appeared on Hot Ones, a show where they eat ten hot wings one at a time with each one becoming spicier until they are way too hot. Similarly, Buzzfeed has had a long list of stars who were on a promotional tour react to thirst tweets about them on camera.

When Jeremy Allen White was promoting The Rental in 2020, he took part in a Buzzfeed thirst trap video where people commented about him and his most famous character. Unsurprisingly, most of the thirst tweets about himself that White read on camera were pretty intense. “Jeremy Allen White is honestly one of the most gorgeous people alive holy crap” “I really want to start a new blog just for Jeremy Allen white’s butt i mean have u seen that thing daymmm” “I would bottom for Lip Gallagher” “I really wish Jeremy Allen White had a twitter so I could tell him about every elaborate fantasy I’ve had that involved him. I’m in love.”

After Jeremy Allen White read the first thirst trap tweet in the aforementioned video, he seemed to take the compliment in stride when he said “that’s really, really nice”. From there, White seemed to take some joy in the fact that someone paid a compliment to his butt. “That’s funny. I feel like I have such a nonexistent, um, butt. My wife always makes fun of my butt.” As the video progressed, however, and the thirst tweets about him became more intense, White notably seemed to become more and more uncomfortable. In fact, after reading one thirst tweet about his Shameless character, White rebuked the writer by saying “I would say, Lip Gallagher wouldn’t be into it. Nor I”. Finally, in the closing seconds of the video, White comments “I don’t have Twitter so a lot of that is brand spanking new ideas. I think it’s the reason I will continue to not have Twitter.”

Based on what White had to say in the aforementioned thirst tweets video, it seems like he has mixed feelings about fans thirsting after him. After all, White seemed to enjoy people complimenting his looks at first but he appeared to become overwhelmed pretty quickly.
