When you're a fan of something, it can take over your whole life. So what's behind the roots of our various obsessions, and how far would you go for your fandom? Today we're taking you inside the world of superfans.Adrian Ma loves the band Oasis so much, he flew 5000 km to see them kick off their long-awaited reunion tour this summer in Cardiff, Wales. Without a ticket. So does he find a way in, or did he just make the dumbest (and most expensive) mistake of his life? Adrian takes us along on an epic adventure of finding your tribe, the power of music, and the magical moments that can bring an entire community together.When Tristan Sacrey lost his dad suddenly, he didn't know how to process his grief. So he turned to the thing he enjoyed most about their time together: Scooby Doo. Now, with more than 3000 collectibles in his home office, Tristan has turned his grief into joy (and it's also helped him find love with a fellow Scooby Doo fanatic).If you're a fan of anime, video games, comic books, or sci-fi, and you've never experienced a convention — this is your chance. Ify heads to Toronto's Fan Expo to ask cosplayers about the time and money that goes into dressing up, and what they get out of it. 72-year-old Fredericton grandpa Larry Canam might not seem like the kind of guy to have millions of fans on TikTok, but his low-fi milkshake videos have turned him into a social media superstar. He tells us how making milkshakes on his 50-year-old blender is helping brighten people's lives during difficult times.Jaycen is a member of the furry fandom, a diverse community of fans who love to dress up as anthropomorphic characters. Jaycen's family in rural Alberta have always supported his furry identity. But now that he's in university with hopes of being a teacher, he's grappling with whether he should hide this core part of his identity because of stereotypes that could affect his future career.
In Part 1 of this engaging conversation, Kennedy Rizzo & Cooper Lee delve into their experiences at a recent Fan Expo where they had the opportunity to meet Orlando Bloom. They reflect on Bloom's iconic roles, particularly as Legolas, and discuss the nostalgia surrounding his career. The duo shares their excitement about the event, interactions with fellow fans, and insights from Bloom's press conference, highlighting the misconceptions about celebrity friendships. They also touch on Bloom's reflections on aging and his future projects, concluding with a discussion of their favorite films featuring him.
