Naomi Campbell on Quarantine Living: 'I'm Loving It'
Latest

Naomi Campbell, whose formerly excessive-seeming, germaphobic air-travel precautions now just look downright reasonable, launched a YouTube “talk show” show today, No Filter with Naomi. I say “talk show,” in quotes, because the live-stream is what every talk show is nowadays: A celebrity streaming from home from a single, fixed angle. Funny how stars really are just like us, or at least, those of us who have talked into a camera on the internet. Campbell’s first guest was her fellow golden-era supermodel Cindy Crawford. They chatted candidly for about 50 minutes, and the entire thing felt like eavesdropping on someone else’s FaceTime.
They saved their detailed conversation about the way things are until the very end of their chat. At that point, it was made clear that celebrities, in fact, are not just like us and a massively privileged class who will in all likelihood ride out a plague and economic collapse just fine, thank you very much.“I think the strangest thing is just not knowing,” said Crawford from her home in Malibu. “Like, not having any plans, but also not even knowing when you can make plans. It’s like, we don’t even know where the light at the end of the tunnel is. I mean, we know it will come at some point but, y’know, I’m blessed. I can afford groceries and I think it’s hard to give advice to people because we’re already privileged so I’m very aware that not having to be worried about affording groceries or a cell phone bill is an amazing luxury.” She went on to discuss “small” blessings, which include living by the ocean and being surrounded by family.
