GOOD VIBRATIONS

it’s a deep thought, isn’t it? sometimes i even wonder what i'd be like without my craft... probably a confused hermit, wearing mismatched socks and talking to my plants. and don’t get me started on where i’d be without the amazing people i’ve met! i’d likely be lost in a maze of snack foods and netflix binges, which, let’s be honest, sounds like a solid plan but not very fulfilling! i totally get how distractions can leave you feeling adrift. i’ve been juggling projects, trying to keep my sanity intact. overall, i’m doing well. If you ever want to talk or have a good laugh, i’m all ears.

this why i exist to give you as much support as possible. he is really a mood and sometimes i look back on those photos to channel my inner tobey whenever i don't want to be photographed. who wouldn't be ready to jump in? let's think about it; if i can't take them down then feel free to let me go. it may be a thing, but you're the second person who has called me darling and it's going to drive me crazy in a good way. i do love negotiating over tea, true london style sounds almost too perfect. let me just mentally prepare myself before meeting you, can't have the new bodyguard fangirling.

your unwavering support means the world to me... just so you know. and i must say, being called darling--- i find it rather endearing! i'm genuinely happy to hear that the bodyguard is fangirling. it only adds to the excitement. i eagerly anticipate our time together, my love. so, what have you been up to lately?

Dude, that's exactly why I don't have Instagram because I just know I'd be getting some fan messages that would be really out there. And I can imagine what they're saying to you! I'm not much of a fashion show person myself, but when you're told you have to promote one of your newer projects, you do what you're told, right? I'm all for hanging out again! Just let me know where you are, and I'll make time for you. I'm with my girls right now, but I'll be taking them back to their mom soon. I'm sad we didn't get a scene together either, I know we'd have killed it.

i completely understand your hesitation about instagram. the messages can indeed be quite outlandish. promoting new projects can feel like a necessary obligation, but it’s all part of the industry nowadays. i would genuinely enjoy the opportunity to hang out again! just let me know your whereabouts, and i’ll do my best to accommodate. enjoy your time with the girls. i know how meaningful those moments with family are.

thoughts on my performance at the amas? i'd love to know your take since you haven't been to a concert yet. / @tmhcllnd

you were absolutely incredible, my love. hearing your voice was such a treat. you're a phenomenal performer. and i have to say, seeing you in those short dresses is definitely an added bonus.

Hell yeah! I keep saying put me in coach, even though it's me...... I'm the coach. I agree, I love them so much, they are the reason I'm here, and doing what I do. Maybe it's the caffeine or lack of sleep, but that's probably one of the most reasonable things I've heard in a minute, you're absolutely right.

i love that energy! it’s great to hear how much you love what you do. it really makes all the difference when you’re passionate about it. and hey, caffeine and lack of sleep can lead to some solid realizations, so don’t sell yourself short. we all have those moments when everything clicks, even if it feels a little wild. just keep that passion alive, and trust me, it’ll take you places. remember, though, sometimes being the coach is just as fun as being the player.

you have been, i am so behind on the marvel universe. but i can imagine how fun and challenging it is to play a role for so long. but you seem to be doing more, now? outside of it? oh, that's a relief! i am pretty sure i'm the queen of feeling out of place these days.

it can feel overwhelming to keep up with everything in the marvel universe! i can barely keep up with it as is. it’s a fun challenge, but i’ve been diving into other projects too, trying to balance it all. keeps things fresh. trust me, feeling out of place is something we all go through sometimes. it’s perfectly normal. just know you’re not alone in that. we’ll find our groove again. it just takes a bit of time and maybe some new adventures to shake things up. and if you ever need a partner in crime to help you feel less out of place, i’m just a call away.

I think it's the only way I maintain some of my sanity. People have a lot of things to say so you've got to just let them say it. They can spill all the nonsense they want to. It's why I'm thankful that I spend most of my time at home. No one really bothers you in Nashville. Cause there's always someone more interesting around, too. Hopefully you don't have too many more of those situations arise.

absolutely, it’s all about keeping your sanity. let them spill their nonsense; it’s not worth losing your cool over. i understand get why you prefer being at home in nashville. it’s nice to have that space where you can breathe without all the noise, and you're right— there’s always someone more interesting out there for people to focus on. i’m hoping to avoid those situations too. just gotta keep my head down and enjoy the quieter moments. you’ve got the right idea by finding solace in your own space. i respect that.

not sure anyone has ever said this about you, but you're very cute. i don't know how people are handling you out there, i know they have a hard time if you're really like this all the time. do you enjoy football? any type of sports? my favorite holiday is christmas and things are going up now since people like to avoid halloween. we can do some Christmas shopping together? wearing matching sweaters and all. call it an exercise, we need brotherly chemistry, and if we end up having to hate each other then we know it'll be even better.

cute... i’ll take it, though i’m not sure ‘cute’ is what i’m usually going for. i enjoy watching football. don't know much about the sport, but if i had to sit down and watch it, i'd enjoy it with a pint. christmas? now you’re talking. matching sweaters, christmas shopping… i'm fuckin' in. we’ll call it brotherly bonding, yeah? you know, for research purposes. and if we end up hating each other on screen, all the better. it’ll make the tension real. if we’re doing this, you better be ready for some top-tier holiday spirit. i’m not holding back.

its one of those things that i'll never understand, so i've given up even attempting to. moments of peace in this business are crucial to help keep you sane. i have a four year old daughter that i cuddle with. literally doing anything from her brings me right back down to earth. what's yours?

yeah, i’ve given up trying to understand it too. those peaceful moments are everything, especially in this business. helps keep you from losing your head. a four-year-old cuddle buddy, huh? that's gotta be the best reset button. for me, it’s my dog. no matter how hectic things get, taking her for a walk or just hanging out with her brings me so much happiness. doesn’t care about fame or any of that— she just wants to chase a ball. simple things, you know?

Yeah, there’s no off switch, no matter where you are. I don’t blame you for feeling unsettled by it. Yeah, drives me nuts. Like, we didn't sign up to have people tracking our every move like it's some reality show. Sometimes I just want to run errands without worrying about ending up on someone’s TikTok, you know? It’s a full-on circus over here. I’m basically running on coffee and sheer willpower at this point. But yeah, I definitely need to steal a moment for myself soon before I forget what peace and quiet even feels like. Maybe a nap? Or, you know, 30 seconds of silence.

it’s like we’ve turned into walking content for everyone’s feeds. you just want to grab a coffee or pop into a shop, and suddenly you're trending on tiktok. absolute madness. running on coffee and willpower, huh? you’re stronger than me. but seriously, you need that break, even if it’s just a quick power nap. you’ve earned it. if anyone asks, just say it's 'method acting'— the role of someone who actually gets to relax for once. 30 seconds of silence sounds like a luxury.

but it was... i'm only stating facts, unfortunately. hopefully we'll get to work together again soon. but i'm heading to broadway next spring, so it won't be until after that whole process. golfing is definitely calming, but what are some projects you're going to be diving into?

sometimes the truth can be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s great to acknowledge it. broadway? nick, that’s awesome! you’re stepping into some serious spotlight territory. your talent is definitely deserving of that stage. what’s the production about? i’m particularly excited about a couple of films and potentially some theater work as well, but i can’t spill all the details just yet --- surprisingly, i know.

keep up, holland. if you really want to ask me out, you're gonna have to put in the work and look up my tour schedule. maybe... eager, are you? i might just invite you to one of my concerts. where are you these days?

oh, i see how it is! keeping me on my toes, huh? i’ll definitely have to check out your tour schedule if i want a chance to join you. i’ve mostly been at home in london, taking a break from filming. i just wrapped up my theater run about a month ago, and I really needed some time to recharge.

I don't think listening to the haters is ever really advised - we should be able to go out and still live our lives. Isn't the only way to get video footage off those cameras is if the person who owns them releases it? Cause the way I'd never go to that restaurant again.

you’re spot on! ignoring the haters is essential for maintaining our sanity. we should be able to enjoy our lives without the constant worry of being filmed. typically, video footage from those cameras can only be accessed if the owner chooses to release it, but that doesn’t mean the threat of it hanging over us isn’t unsettling. it's frustrating how easily our privacy can be compromised, even in seemingly ordinary situations. that's 2024 for you.

A ring camera? People are wild, seriously. Like, I get it, public life comes with a spotlight, but that doesn’t mean folks get to camp out in your personal space like it’s some kind of reality show. Totally creepy, and I’d be freaked out too. Those “you signed up for this” comments are so tired, it’s like, you signed up to work in your industry, not to have your every move tracked! But anyway, I hope you’re hanging in there. We’re all good over here, but exhausted! Between doing press for my show and running around trying to keep up with the kids’ packed schedules, I feel like I haven’t had a minute to just breathe. It’s nonstop! But coffee’s doing its job, and we’re getting through it.

the ring camera phenomenon is a perfect example of how invasive this culture can be. right! it’s exhausting to hear that “you signed up for this” rhetoric— being in the industry should not equate to relinquishing our right to privacy. juggling press obligations while keeping up with your kids' schedules is no small feat. remember to carve out a moment for yourself whenever you can.
