Joss Whedon

Tasha Robinson

It’s sort of funny that you’d ask this just after Funny People came out and taught us that being best buds with a celeb is a horrible, gruelingly unpredictable process of awesomeness alternating with feeding a desperate ego and absorbing all the anger and frustration that the celeb has to hide in public. That likelihood acknowledged, I’ve long felt that Joss Whedon would make an awesome best friend, based on my interviews with him and with people associated with him. He’s funny, smart, wry, endlessly enthusiastic, and perpetually involved in something interesting, whether he’s creating a TV show or hosting Shakespeare readings in his back yard. He just seems like he’d be fun to be around. Granted, you might have to pat his back and tell him everything’s going to be okay 30 times a day whenever Fox is screwing over his latest show, but that seems like a small price to pay to hang with him.
