Derren Brown: Communicating With Fans On Twitter
“It used to be the case that I’d do a show and then maybe meet somebody afterwards who was a fan, and they’d have a present and a message that they’d written, which is always lovely.”
“That was nice, and if you’d made them happy by having a chat with them, that was a lovely feeling to go away with. But now, the difference is often I know months before that they’re coming, because they’re constantly tweeting me telling me what they’re going to be wearing, and asking me if I give hugs, and whether they should ask for a hug or will I just give it to them.”
“And then they give me the letter and the present, and then maybe a month later they’ll ask me to send them a picture of where I’ve put the present in my house, and then am I going to reply to the letter and what were my thoughts on that.”
“And then if you don’t respond to that sort of thing, you get their friends contacting you saying ‘Well maybe you’re a big celebrity, and what she spent on that present doesn’t mean anything to you, but that was a lot of money to her, so could you please send her a fucking picture of where it is in your house?’”
