Not having cellular telephone These days it must be like living on top of a forgotten mountain at the end of the Earth and in a cave connected only to nature. Because this technological device is an almost obligatory extension of our limbs and a way of communicating in this world.
And a cell phone is almost more important in a career like acting, where you need to be attentive to new contracts for films and TV series and you need to advertise your life a little to earn a lot of money.
That’s why it’s strange that an actor so famous in Hollywood I have been hesitant to have a cell phone these days and have been for over three years. But this character exists, and his name is Woody Harrelson.
In the latest episode of the podcast Where everyone knows your nameHarrelson and his co-star from greetingsTed Danson discussed Harrelson’s resistance to phone addiction. “Let me tell you something about Woody: He doesn’t have a phone,” Danson said. He is one of those bullies in life who forces others to carry his phone for him. -Hey, we need to know something urgently, call Woody. And I laugh a little at whoever tells me this.
“Well, that’s not entirely true,” Harrelson replied. “I just don’t like being available to anyone at any time. And besides, that’s not the reason. “In a way, I like talking to people, but I don’t like my appendix.”
The main character of “White Men Can’t Jump” admitted that he hasn’t used a cell phone for more than three and a half years.
“I did something like, ‘Okay, I’m going to set a two-hour limit on my phone,'” he said. “It’s about 9:30 now. I had already reached my limit at 9:30. “So I woke up and I’ve been doing this for two hours because you know how this can go on and on.”
Harrelson said he didn’t even use apps (“I don’t know about apps”) or call anyone during screen time, he just had to text a lot of people. “I never used it as a phone,” he recalled.
Harrelson said that he strived not to be distracted by technology when venturing into the non-digital world, and that he was especially prone to using his phone during breaks from personal conversations, which prompted him to eventually put them aside.
