Severance's John Turturro on fans getting ‘intimate' tattoos of him: ‘I don't want to look at that'
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.

Rose Byrne reveals the desperate lengths she went to for Hollywood fame
Rose Byrne might be a Hollywood A-lister these days, but that certainly hasn't always been the case. The Australian actress, 46, has revealed the 'desperate' lengths she went to in order to achieve fame in Tinsel Town. Rose appeared on Nova's Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie Show on Thursday alongside her Platonic co-star Seth Rogen, to chat about the anticipated new season of the hit Apple TV+ series. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to some of the Bridesmaids star's earliest attempts at stardom. Rose admitted that she wasn't shy about trying her luck in all manner of TV fare before nabbing her first small-screen role. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Did you ever try out for Neighbours or Home and Away when you were younger?' host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald asked the actress. 'Oh yeah, I did an ill-fated soap called Echo Point that I'm sure you're familiar with - with some wonderful actors actually, in all seriousness, that was not....' she said before trailing off. Seth then diplomatically interjected with: 'It did not have the legs.' Continuing, Rose admitted that she did, indeed, audition for both iconic soaps, and was rejected. 'Oh yeah, I auditioned for Neighbours and Home and Away... all of them,' she said. Billed as a Home and Away 'killer', Echo Point was a short-lived soap that aired on Network Ten from June to December 1995. Rose starred as 'good girl' Belinda O'Connor in the soap, alongside the likes of Tom Long, Jessica Napier, Martin Henderson and Diarmid Heidenreich. Originally airing at 7pm to combat the iconic Seven soap, Echo Point failed to resonate with audiences, finishing its one-season run in the 11.30pm graveyard slot Elsewhere in the chat, Rose admitted to sustaining a very surprising injury while in Melbourne. 'I just bent and grabbed my bag off the floor the other day in Melbourne and I got a lumbar facet sprain and I couldn't move for two days,' Rose admitted. When co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked the star how she got off the ground, Rose replied: 'Barely. 'I was shuffled back to my room and lay in bed for two days.' Wanting to one-up his co-star, Seth also admitted to a recent malady while in the shower. 'I hurt my neck really badly shampooing my head,' he said. 'I was getting too vigorous a lather going and I hurt my neck. It hurt for two weeks.' It comes after it was announced that Rose's breakthrough 1999 Australian movie Two Hands is set to receive a sequel 25 years later. The film starred a 19-year-old Heath and Rose in a hilarious and confronting gangster story which has developed a cult following over the years. It was written and directed by Aussie filmmaker Gregor Jordan, who recently told The Sydney Morning Herald he had finished writing a sequel. 'We have a script that I think is really good. It brings it into the modern day,' Jordan began. 'If we'd tried to do a sequel five years later, it probably wouldn't have worked, but 25 years later is the right time.'

Oscar-nominated actress insures her mouth for $2,000,000
Cynthia Erivo revealed her mouth has been insured for $2 million (around £1.55 million). As the face of Listerine's new Wash Your Mouth campaign, the Wicked star is the latest celebrity to lend some sparkle to a high-concept marketing stunt. But while the mouthwash brand insists the move highlights the importance of oral hygiene, it also places Erivo squarely in one of Hollywood's most surreal traditions: celebrities insuring their body parts for large sums of money. Erivo, known for her powerhouse vocals and signature gap-toothed smile, described mouth care as essential to her daily rituals: 'Brushing my teeth and using mouthwash- Listerine specifically – for some reason, really opens me up,' she told People. 'It gives me a restart before I go on and sing or speak.' For her, oral hygiene is less about vanity and more about confidence, readiness, and performance. It's the final step before stepping into the spotlight. But an enormous insurance policy on a mouth – even a famous one – inevitably invites comparison with some other examples of celebrities insuring body parts. Jennifer Lopez has long been the unofficial patron saint of celebrity insurance lore, with stories of her butt being insured for as much as $27 million (around £20.9 million) — a rumour she's repeatedly denied, though never quite erased. Kim Kardashian has reportedly done the same, with her backside allegedly covered for $21 million (approx. £16.2 million) at the insistence of then-husband Kanye West. Whether fact or myth, noone can quite say. Mariah Carey's reported $70 million (around £54.2 million) insurance policy – $35 million (approx. £27.1 million) each for her legs and vocal cords – emerged during her 2016 Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour, and while some outlets went as far as to suggest she had insured her voice for $1 billion (approx. £775 million), that figure seems more urban legend than reality. Supermodel Heidi Klum once revealed that her legs were insured for around £1.1 million (approx. $1.4 million) – though she noted one was valued less than the other due to a childhood scar. Gordon Ramsay is said to have insured his taste buds and tongue for $10 million (around £7.75 million). More Trending Even Nick Cannon recently joined the list, announcing a $10 million (approx. £7.75 million) policy on his testicles as part of a tongue-in-cheek ad campaign. Soccer legends Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham each had their legs insured for nine-figure sums – Ronaldo's for over €100 million (approx. £85 million) and Beckham's reportedly for $195 million (around £151 million), one of the largest sports-related policies ever recorded. America Ferrera's smile was insured for $10 million (approx. £7.75 million) by Aquafresh during a campaign. Some of these stories are undoubtedly exaggerated or outright invented. Still, the campaign knows exactly what it's doing. A million-dollar smile backed by a million-dollar policy guarantees headlines, whether or not anyone ever intends to file a claim. Got a story?
