Longtime Actor Surprises Fans With Rare Social Media Post: 'What The Hell?'
HuffPost
The heartthrob previously stepped out of the Hollywood spotlight, but is now promoting his upcoming film with a few cheeky videos.
In one of his first social media posts in several years, actor Josh Hartnett surprised fans on Wednesday with a wordless, five-second Instagram video — sending his biggest admirers into a bona fide frenzy about his “Hartnettaissance.”
The reactions are certainly warranted. While he never truly vanished from Hollywood, the actor did step back from the spotlight for a while. And Hartnett has never been one for consistent social media activity, so his appearance this week prompted overjoyed reactions.
“Me promoting my film before ghosting social media for another 10 years,” Hartnett joked in text overlaid on a video shared on the official account for his upcoming movie, “Fight or Flight.” The video shows the actor captured by what appears to be the selfie camera of an iPhone with added sound effects to suggest he’s frantically typing the message.
Hartnett first popped up on the account earlier this month with a few lighthearted videos, but none seemed to grab users like Wednesday’s self-aware threat of “ghosting” yet again.
“JOSH, don’t do it! We need you. The Hartnettaissance isn’t over!” one person joked about the actor’s resurgence and joking threat to disappear yet again, with another cheekily writing: “2035 shaking in its boots right now trying to figure out how to top that.”
